One of the most important considerations when picking out your next truck is likely towing and payload capability. Both trucks pack a punch, and only one of them outshines its competitor in both areas. Is it the F-150 or the Silverado? Let’s find out!
If you’re looking to haul a large camper or a multi-horse trailer, the F-150 is up for the job with its maximum towing capacity of 13,500 pounds. The Silverado 1500 falls slightly behind. It only has a maximum towing capacity of 13,300 pounds.
What if you’re looking to leave the trailer at home and just load up the truck bed? The F-150 can carry more there, too. It boasts a maximum payload of 2,445 pounds, while the Silverado 1500 can only carry up to 2,260 pounds. The F-150 goes one step further with available Onboard Scales. They’ll tell you exactly how much you’re hauling.
Looking to maximize both power and efficiency? In the Ford F-150 engine lineup, you have the option to select a hybrid motor. The 3.5L PowerBoost™ Full Hybrid V6 pairs a gas engine to an electric motor to provide 430 horsepower and 570 lb-ft of torque. A hybrid option isn’t available with the Silverado.
When you’re ready to sit back and relax after a long day on the worksite, you’ll need a truck that can help you do it. Both the F-150 and the Silverado 1500 bring all the comforts of home and offer plenty of space to stretch out and enjoy them.
Inside the cabins of these trucks, you’ll find luxurious appointments, like available leather-trimmed seats with heating and ventilation. The Ford F-150 also offers available Max Recline Seats that fold nearly all the way down, so you can take a power nap just about anywhere. Active Motion® is also available with the F-150. It provides a gentle massage that helps reduce fatigue during long rides.
The Ford F-150 will also help you get stuff done while on the jobsite with its available Interior Work Surface that easily folds out of the way when not in use. It’s a perfect place to work on your laptop or fill out paperwork right from your truck's cabin. The Silverado doesn’t offer a similar feature.
Both trucks offer three cab styles that are similar in size. If you choose the F-150, you’ll be able to select from the Regular Cab, SuperCab, and SuperCrew®. The SuperCrew® of the F-150 and the Crew Cab of the Silverado both provide over 43 inches of rear legroom, so your team members in the back will have all the space they need.
They say you should work smarter, not harder. Well, the Ford F-150 and the Chevy Silverado can do both, and it’s all thanks to a bevy of smart technology that’s designed to keep you connected and in control.
Both trucks offer expansive touchscreen displays, so you can take command of your favorite smartphone apps and play all the music you love. You'll be able to keep up with the world around you, whether you’re way off the map or right in the middle of the jobsite, thanks to the Wi-Fi hotspot in both models.
When it comes to picking your desired entertainment, an available 7-speaker Bose® Premium Sound System available with the Chevy Silverado brings each song to life. For a truly immersive musical journey, though, you may want to opt for the more extensive 14-speaker B&O® Unleashed Sound System audio system offered by the Ford F-150.
A blind spot monitoring system is found with both models. It’s there to act as another set of eyes, whether you’re towing a trailer or flying solo. It will alert you to a vehicle driving alongside your truck, so you can change lanes with ease. It can also look out for vehicles alongside your trailer with the available trailer tow coverage.
The only difference: Blind spot monitoring is found standard on the F-150 and is optional on the Silverado.
