2024 Chevrolet Silverado1500 vs. 2024 Ford F-150

2024 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 vs. 2024 Ford F-150

When shopping for a truck in the Ottawa, KS, area, you have many options. One of the most popular is the Ford F-150. But how does it stack up against the best-selling Chevy pickup, the Silverado 1500? You might be surprised to find that the Silverado has a lot to offer - so much, in fact, that the Ford can barely keep up.

Performance

While both the Silverado and Ford F-150 come standard with turbocharged engines, the base Silverado engine handily outperforms the EcoBoost under the hood of the F-150. It develops 430 pound-feet of torque compared to 400 in the Ford. Furthermore, the F-150 isn't available with a diesel engine, whereas the Silverado offers a 3.0-liter Duramax diesel with nearly 500 pound-feet of torque. Only the Silverado will do for Eudora, KS, shoppers serious about hauling.

Technology

Range-topping trim levels of the F-150 get a 12-inch touchscreen display, which is nice until you compare it to the 13.4-inch diagonal display that comes in rival Silverado 1500 models. The 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster also outshines the 12-inch one in the Ford, albeit by less. Both offer plenty of customizability options for drivers in Topeka, KS.

Efficiency

If efficiency matters to you - and it should - the Silverado 1500 is a superior choice. The most efficient Ford F-150 engine only achieves an EPA-estimated 20 mpg city and 26 mpg highway. On the other hand, the diesel-powered Silverado 1500 manages 23 mpg city and 33 mpg highway. You don't have to be a mathematician to see which one will be more manageable as you commute on the Kansas City, KS, roads.
