If you’re in the market for a new pickup truck, there’s a good chance that the Chevy Silverado 1500 and the Ford F-150 have caught your eye as potential choices. While both have plenty to offer, we think that when you line them up side-by-side, it’s clear that one starts to pull ahead. Read on to see how these two trucks compare, and when you’ve made your choice, be sure to shop for your next pickup at James Wood.
Get Power and Efficiency From the Silverado 1500
The Silverado 1500 and the F-150 come with your choice of several engines, allowing you to pick how much power you want to pay for and how much you want to prioritize your fuel efficiency. While both offer a great selection of traditional engines, including a highly capable V8 engine, only the Silverado 1500 has a diesel option.
The Duramax 3.0L Turbo-Diesel engine in the Silverado 1500 gives you an impressive 277 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque to work with, all while giving you the best fuel efficiency from a traditional engine available on either truck at 31 MPG highway.
Handle Any Job in a Silverado 1500 in Decatur, TX
An essential part of getting things done in your truck is having a bed that can handle what you throw at it. By size, the Silverado offers you more to work with, thanks to its 62.9 cubic foot standard bed and 71.7 cubic foot long bed, compared to the F-150’s 52.8 cubic foot standard bed and 62.3 cubic foot long bed.
Not only that, but only the Silverado offers the fantastic multi-flex tailgate system, giving you everything from an access step to a standing desk or a cargo stop, all while still functioning like a standard tailgate.
Enjoy Cutting Edge Tech in the Silverado 1500
While you’re on the road, you want to stay comfortable and connected, and both of these trucks are here to help with features like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. When it comes to accessing all of your favorite apps, maps, and music, the Silverado 1500 holds the advantage, thanks to its available 13.4-in touchscreen infotainment display, larger than any offered by the F-150.
In addition, while both provide hands-free driving through Chevy Super Cruise and Ford Bluecruise, Super Cruise is compatible with over 200,000 miles of road throughout North America. In comparison, BlueCruise only covers 130,000 miles, again giving the edge to the Silverado 1500.
