The Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Vs. The Ford F-150

When it comes to pickup trucks, most drivers near Ottumwa, IA are looking for performance, capability, comfort, and safety. Here at Vaughn Chevrolet Buick GMC Ottumwa, the 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is our go-to pickup truck, but we understand that most smart car shoppers will want to comparison shop with a competitor such as the 2020 Ford F-150. Here is a side-by-side comparison between the two pickup trucks. 

Performance

When you buy the 2020 Chevy Silverado 1500, you’ll have your choice of six different powertrains, allowing you to choose the right combination of power and efficiency for your needs. The available Duramax 3.0-liter Turbo-Diesel helps the Chevy Silverado offer best-in-class EPA-estimated 23 miles per gallon city and 33 miles per gallon highway. Meanwhile, the Silverado Diesel models provide best-in-class 277 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque, which can tow up to 9,300 pounds. At the top of the line is the massive 6.2-liter V8, which cranks out 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque, allowing for a tow capacity of up to 13,400 pounds.

Looking at the 2020 Ford F-150, you’ll find a few engine options, but none of the options match the fuel efficiency provided by the diesel options offered on the new Chevrolet truck.

Technology Features

One of the standout tech features on the 2020 Chevy Silverado 1500 is the segment-first Advanced Trailering System, which features an in-vehicle trailering app that offers customized trailer profiles. Additionally, the truck has more camera views than any other truck, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and available 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot.

The 2020 Ford F-150 has an in-vehicle infotainment system and a Pro Trailer Backup Assist, but unfortunately, this feature has less functionality than the in-vehicle trailering app on the Chevy truck.
