I like the new Silverado Medium Duty. But it simply isn’t in the same class as a Ford 650. The Silverado MD has a much smaller and lighter chassis than a 650...much smaller axles, etc. It is a great truck, but compares to the Ford 550 or RAM 5500. Come on...you can get air brakes, including trailer air brake hookups, on the Ford 650. And you are showing base model Fords against a non base model Chevy. Consider how on a Ford 550, you can get a full Lariat trim with heated and cooled leather seats, 8” navigation system, etc. Sure, the base XL is cheap. But fleets that buy trucks just want a reliable workhorse, not a Cadillac with a dump body. Since the 650 is really a different class...look at something comparable like a Freightliner M2 or International Durastar. These also have very basic and cheap interiors. One big advantage Ford has over this Silverado MD is availability of a gas engine. Lots of fleets want that. Instead of calling the Ford “junk” I’d focus on the strength of the Silverado MD...the forward tilting hood is a big one. The completely flat frame is nice. The availability of 4x4 at the higher 6500 gvw is nice.

The ford has better low rpm response and the cabin is twice as comfortable as the internationals. Im hoping its a reliable truck but as we all know, time will tell that part.

I have a 20 C6500 And I'll tell you this.. Gm blew it big time in a few key areas.. #1 The turning radius is terrible.. Especially considering how great it was on the two previous generations of gm med duty's.. #2 The fuel tank size.. Absolutely rediculous! These trucks should have twice or better the capacity for fuel in this class of work truck..Major fail.. #3 The transfer case is damn near dragging the ground on the 4x4 package.. Don't plan on taking one off road.. Highway travel is about it for these trucks.. I'll say this though, the interior is nice.. It's quiet and fairly comfortable although as rough as the ride is it could have used an air ride seat or cab mounts...The one thing the really got right is the tuning of the engine/trans ,towhaul mode and exhaust brake.. Very impressed at how well this works! My truck is configured as a flatbed towtruck and I spend a lot of time on snowy slick roads.. Put this thing in 4hi set to towhaul with the exhaust brake on.. It really works well! Too bad GM dropped the ball on the other stuff. They could have had an awesome truck.. At least the company paid for my truck and not me...

Andrew Sully the 6.6 is currently available in the 2020 2500 & 3500’s. Haven’t had anyone report back to me on gas mileage yet, but it’s noticeably more powerful than the old 6.0L.

This guy is obviously bias, cannot give a fair comparison. The Chevy has a lot more cons than pros. Capability is a big thing, the Duramax is still super under powered compared to the scorpion or the 6.7 V6 from Ram. Also towing numbers are far below Ford and Ram. One thing that baffles me, which GM engineer had the bone head idea of putting that DEF filler on the opposite side as the fuel tank. Tha is by far one of the most bizarre designs I've seen. I mean seriously, who is going to go to a truck stop, fill up their tank and then pull out turn their truck and trailer around and come in the other direction to fill up the DEF tank. It makes no sense. That design flaw would be a number one reason for me to NEVER buy another GM truck.

Ram still has the manual transmission which gives them the towing advantage, while Chevy’s max GCWR is only 37000lbs and that’s on a 6500. Typically you will find them in the 30000 GCWR range as it is more common and versatile with the gear ratios. The Duramax isn’t underpowered, it is detuned. These vehicles are mainly meant for payload with some towing capabilities. I would say the Ford has more cons than pros, not the Chevy. I’m not biased, I am just not a fan of the Ford medium duty line, I don’t care how many are on the road because they were the only game in town for a decade. If they’re the major medium duty producers then it makes sense why there are so many on the road. Thank you for your comment.

Tyler Sutton so the Allison transmission isn’t the best transmission on the market?!?! If the Ford medium duty is so great then why couldn’t their design team figure out a way to avoid using 3 radiators to keep their engine cool? Why don’t their F450 & F550 have class 5 or 6 bolts, brackets, bushings, etc? Guess Chevy is stupid for putting class 6 and 7 parts on all our medium duty truck, right? If Ford is so great at making medium duty trucks, why do they only have 10 lugs and Chevy has eight? I guess Ford doesn’t need to use heavy duty bolts for their tires and wheels right? Riddle me this, why do Ford owners have to unload the tools and equipment out of their trucks before they can be towed? Ask an experienced tow truck driver and they will tell you because the frame can snap because it is not a straight frame. Chevy doesn’t have that problem. I like your load it starts about Ford out selling a Chevy, how many more at least vehicles does Ford put out to enterprise and rent a car compared to Chevy? Quite a few. Also, we have been out of the medium duty game for 10 years which gave Ford and edge on that market, but now that we are back we are going to crush them. Why do you think Chevrolet has had three straight years of growth and no other American car company has? That is a printable fact as well, as you put it. I have a lifted up the hood to a Chevy and Ford, have you? All I see under the hood of a Ford medium duty is a minimum of eight hours in the shop to change the spark plug, ask a service technician about that. Take a look at some of these municipalities as well, the reason why they are moving away from Fords is the overall cost of ownership. Ford offers a lower priced product initially, but the overall maintenance comes at a higher price than Chevy. Lastly, for you to try to insult me as some slimy car salesman just goes to show how ignorant you are.

I'm a chevy guy, now for our business we really need a medium duty truck right now. Nobody builds em better then PACCAR aka peterbilt and kenworth however they are literally sold out until 2023. We have been forced to look at medium duty trucks and unfortunately the 6500's to not even compare to the 650's they are different class trucks the 6500 was made to compete with the 550 but not the 650. Air ride suspension, air breaks, air ride seats, wayyy thicker frame, bigger saddle tank like a real truck, 22" tires that would eat those 19.5's for breakfast.....so sad as I'm a true chevy guy, lol trust me when I say I DO NOT want a ford but unfortunately its really the best looking option at this point. Chevy messed those MD's up hard, the last gen offered a 7500 and 8500 to compete with the 650 and 750 but they did not do that with the 4 gen chevy MD's

You’re absolutely correct, despite sharing the same numbers on the badging, the F650 has a higher GVWR than our 6500 and the F750 passes the 26k GVWR. Keep in mind that at the time of this video, the 6500 was the only truck that you could get that was higher than 19500 but less than 26k lbs. Our medium duty line is built with all class 6 & class 7 parts so they are true medium duty vehicles. The larger wheels are what helps them get the higher GVWR, rumor has it that Chevy will also have a vehicle to compete with the F750. Thank you for leaving a comment.

Who in the hell designed that DEF tank to sit on the driver side with the fill on the passenger side and what brainchild decided it should hang below the frame and the steps so that's the first thing you hit the second you get into a job site? There is no way that this Chevy / International is going to be around in 10 years International has a lot of Gremlins when it comes to wiring the Duramax is a decent engine so is the Allison Transmission the frame will be fine but the truck itself is extremely car like inside very small doors it's not built for full size men how do I know I switched from Chevy to Ford and couldn't be happier it's built for adult work.
