Compare the Ford F-150 and Silverado 1500 Engine Power

The base engine of the Ford F-150 offers better acceleration than the Silverado with its 290-horsepower 3.3-liter V6 engine. If you need a little bit more power, opt for the EcoBoost V6 engine or V8 engine for 395 horsepower. For the most horsepower and oomph, the high-performance off-road Ford F-150 Raptor trim delivers 450 horsepower and 510 pound-feet of torque. In comparison, the Silverado offers a range topping 6.2-liter V8 with 420 horsepower, but it really can't come close to the power of the Raptor trim. Plus, the Ford F-150 Raptor is lighter weight, giving it an edge over the Silverado.

Take a look inside the Ford F-150 and you'll find that the Ford F-150 offers better quality and comfort than the Chevrolet Silverado. Along with having comfortable front seats, the Silverado offers more luxurious amenities, making it ideal for those who are looking for a premium full-size pickup truck. For example, the F-150 offers leather heated and ventilated seats with a special massaging function! We also love the massive dual-pane sunroof that spans the entire length of the truck for a luxurious feel.

Does the Ford F-150 offer more Cargo Room than the Chevy Silverado?

The Silverado 1500 and the Ford F-150 both offer single cab, extended cab, and four-door crew cab options. There are also short, standard, and long-bed setups for you to choose from. The difference comes down to the combinations available as the Ford F-150 offers more options. While the Silverado offers five bed and cab configurations, the Ford F-150 has nine available combinations, so you can truly customize the truck to fit your needs. Additionally, the Ford F-150 has a crew cab and long-bed configuration, which offers the most combined cabin and bed space between trucks.

Towing Heavy Loads: Ford F-150 vs. Chevrolet Silverado

When properly equipped, the Ford F-150 can tow up to 13,200 pounds -- a new class-leading max towing capacity for 2018. Plus, with a payload of 3,270 pounds, you'll be able to tow heavy loads and dominate any work site. We also love Ford's advanced towing technology, like the innovative Trailer Backup Assist, which is something that the Silverado 1500 does not offer. For comparison, the Silverado 1500 has a max towing capacity of 12,500 and a payload capacity of only 2,250.
