Chevrolet Silverado vs Ford F-150: F-150 Comes Out on Top

When full-size truck shoppers weigh the merits of the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and Ford F-150, they’re usually comparing two capable pickups. Both offer a range of powertrains, cab configurations and trim levels. However, the F-150 continues to outsell every competitor for good reason: it delivers more power, capability and innovation while retaining the everyday usability that Ephrata drivers appreciate.

Performance & Capability

• Towing & payload: Properly equipped, the 2025 F-150 tows up to 14,000 lbs and hauls a 3,315-lb payload. The Silverado maxes out at around 13,300 lbs of towing and 2,280 lbs of payload. That extra capability makes all the difference when you’re hauling campers, boats or landscaping supplies.
• Fuel economy: F-150 EcoBoost and PowerBoost engines pair V8-like power with best-in-class fuel economy. A new 10-speed automatic transmission helps deliver both strong acceleration and impressive MPG.

Technology & Comfort

• Smart features: Only the F-150 offers Pro Power Onboard, turning your truck into a mobile generator for worksites or tailgate parties. Available BlueCruise hands-free highway driving keeps you centered in the lane on mapped roads. Silverado drivers must rely on conventional adaptive cruise control.
• Interior & cargo: Both trucks feature spacious cabins, but the F-150’s fold-flat shifter, available 12-inch touchscreen and innovative work surface give you a more versatile workspace. Ford’s available Tailgate Work Surface and stowable gear shifter make loading and unloading simpler than ever.

Value & Ownership

• Starting price & resale: The F-150’s starting MSRP is competitive with the Silverado’s yet delivers more standard features. Ford pickups also retain some of the highest resale values in the segment.
• Customization: Ford offers a wider range of trims—from the rugged Tremor and luxurious Platinum to the high-performance Raptor—plus dozens of appearance and performance packages. Silverado’s lineup simply can’t match this level of personalization.
• Incentives & support: Our dealership offers attractive purchase and lease specials, along with top trade-in values, to help you get behind the wheel of a new F-150. And with service technicians factory-trained in Ford trucks, we’ll keep your pickup running like new.

The Verdict

The Chevy Silverado 1500 is a good truck, but if you want the best combination of power, technology and everyday capability, the Ford F-150 is the clear winner. Visit our Ephrata Ford dealership to see why America’s favorite full-size pickup continues to outperform the competition.
