Gas ford f250 vs Chevy Silverado 2500 towing.

Likely any difference you read or perceive in ride, handling, power, reliability or fuel mileage between the 2, similarly geared trucks will be very minor.
Personal preference as to what logo you want on the grille and the deal you can cut on either will be more important and the small differences will fade in memory after the second or third round of bugs gets cleaned off the windshield!
Both great trucks and I haven't even driven a new gen Superduty but I'm sure it's even better then the old style.

And solid vs ifs axles are not a thing either, for a tow rig.

That may be your opinion but having owned both of recent vintage to me it's more of a fact, unless the GM is the bottom LS trim level, and then you get totally different cheap seats that are like sitting on milk crates.

The GM also rides and handles night and day better than the Ford, either empty or loaded.

I don't see where one camera system really outshines the other unless if Ford has done something different after the 16 model year?

If you've not driven/owned a 17 or newer Ford, than your ride and handling statements are outdated as the 17 Ford was all new, or pretty close to it.

As far as the camera system goes: video

Chevy is cheaper new and looks easier to find the 4.3 gear ration vs 3.7 I think?

GM doesn't use 4.7 gears in the axles. The lowest you can get is 4.10

I an also looking at purchasing a new vehicle. The only difference I see is that the F250 may have about 500 lbs more payload than the 2500. May not make a difference depending on what you plan to tow.

Crazy as it seems, for the 2018 model Fords, the F250 can tow 100 pounds more than the F350 in the same config. The weight of the extra springs and a tiny bit more I guess.

And a larger rear end.

Both are great trucks, different styles but will do the job. I have the gmc 6.0, 09 model with 6 speeds. Really like this truck, So my take on it is that performance will be similar. There's no really right or wrong answer to your question. It really depends on which one you like better. So for me it would come down to which one gives me the better deal financially. Drive them both and pick the one best suites you. I think that most here on this board will tell you the same. Good luck and let us know which one you buy!

x2, mtofell1.

There's really no wrong choice. With such a close call I'd probably start looking at things like dealer location/service, creature comforts you like better, availability with the options you want, price of course, maybe which salesman you like better :) Attractiveness of the lady that schedules service :) :)
