The Detroit Three all have heavy duty trucks that compete for attention in different ways.
The Ford F-250 Super Duty is the newest among the three and tech-heavy—it has more cameras than a football stadium and enough power to unseat the grandstands from the optional turbodiesel.
The Silverado HD has a kissing cousin in the GMC Sierra 2500, but the GMC model gets higher specs and a higher price tag in Denali trims.
The Ram 2500 is perhaps the most outward in its style and has a likeable character that shows through, despite its relative age.
The Nissan Titan XD offers tweener power between light- and heavy-duty ranges, but lacks the polish of the others.
