2024 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 vs 2024 Ford F-150

When it comes to engine options, the Silverado 1500 offers three powerful choices, including a 6.2-liter V-8 that churns out an impressive 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, the 5.3-liter EcoTec3 V-8 that produces 355 horsepower with 383 pound-feet of torque, and the Duramax 3.0-liter Turbo-Diesel that produces 305 horsepower and 495 pound-feet of torque. However, the F-150 has two engine options, including the 3.5-liter PowerBoost Hybrid V-6 which produces 430 horsepower, and the 5.2-liter PowerBoost Hybrid V-8 which produces 720 horsepower.

For many truck buyers, towing capacity is important. F-150 shines here with a maximum towing capacity of 13,500 pounds, which slightly edges out the Silverado 1500's 13,300 pounds. Every pound counts when hauling big loads, giving the Ford a slight but important advantage.

The Silverado 1500 has a spacious and comfortable cabin with high-quality materials. Chevrolet's infotainment system is user-friendly and comes standard with a 13.4-inch diagonal infotainment touchscreen, 12.3-inch diagonal driver information center, wireless CarPlay, and Android Auto. The F-150 also has a nice interior and similar tech features, but the Silverado's system is easier to navigate.
