Does the GMC Sierra 2500HD 2025 with 6.6L turbodiesel compete with Ford F-250 in reliability?
The GMC Sierra 2500HD 2025 features the Duramax 6.6L turbodiesel Gen II (since 2020) producing 470 hp and 1,064 lb-ft torque — among North America's most reliable heavy diesels. Compared to Ford F-250 6.7L turbodiesel (475 hp, 1,050 lb-ft), both engines deliver proven durability beyond 300,000 km. However, the GMC Duramax integrates a reinforced intercooler cooling system reducing turbo failures under heat (historical Ford vulnerability). Canadian owners report slightly superior reliability of the Sierra 2500HD under repeated highway towing loads during hot summers.
