2020 Chevrolet Colorado vs 2019 Ford F-250 Super Duty

Spend enough time reading about new cars, and you may realize that some corners of the auto market appear to be in the middle of a modern-day arms race. One particular corner is that of the full-size truck market. It seems like every year, the American Big Three automakers each attempt to one-up one another with horsepower, torque, payload, and towing numbers that seemingly have no end in sight.

But beyond these monstrous numbers, the modern work truck has become more comfortable and sophisticated than ever. Just look at the 2019 Ford F-250 Super Duty. Still a brutish machine designed for serious work, it's also available in several trims worthy of luxury-car status.

Automakers know that just because a truck is designed for work doesn’t mean it can’t include some creature comforts. The only issue becomes price, and some of the invoices on trucks can get out of hand fast. So, does the F-250 Super Duty make practical and financial sense for folks who need a heavy-duty truck, or is this modern era of pickups one of overpriced overkill?
