Why a Chevy Silverado is a Better Pick For You than the Ford F-150

Choosing a new truck is never an easy decision and all too often we find ourselves down to two or three similar models long before we make our final decision. Whether it’s a test drive, a comparison site, or even a salesman who eventually changes your mind – knowing more about the vehicle you’re buying and comparing it to is often the turning point.

So, what makes the Chevy Silverado 1500 a better choice for you than the Ford F-150?

How the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Edges Out the Ford F-150

On the outside both trucks have a similar appearance, similar size, and similar price. But it’s the little details that make a big difference with these two pickups side-by-side.

Performance That Matters for Truck Owners

For example, the Silverado 1500 is equipped with a Gas V8 Engine, while the Ford comes standard with a Twin Turbo V6. The Chevy’s larger engine gives it an advantage in power with 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque. Compare that to the F-150’s 325 horsepower and 375 pound-feet of torque. The base Silverado 1500 can make the extra effort that a Ford can’t.

Another advantage the Silverado 1500 offers over the F-150 is a much larger fuel tank capacity – with 26L over only 23L. Combined with the direct fuel injection, the Silverado 1500 has what it takes to keep up with any competing truck.

Both trucks are also available in 4×4 configuration, so you don’t have to worry about getting to work or a campsite off the beaten path.

Technology, Warranty, and Special Editions

All new 2017 Silverado trucks are available with 4G LTE WiFi, meaning you can stay connected wherever you go – perfect for road trips, camping trips when summer comes back around, and keeping the entire family entertained.

OnStar® in-vehicle communications also give you access to roadside assistance from Chevrolet, offering you the peace of mind you deserve. If your truck suffers a breakdown or mechanical failure out on the road, not only is help on the way, but every new Silverado is backed up by a 3-year, 36,000-mile limited warranty. That’s paired with a 5-year, 60,000-mile powertrain warranty, so you can treat your truck, well, like a truck.

If you’re looking for something a little special, the Chevy Silverado offers a range of different special edition models that stand out from the crowd, offering a unique take on the American favourite. With seven special edition models currently on offer, you’re guaranteed to find a truck that fits your style and your needs.
