Chevy Silverado 1500 vs. Ford F-150
When it comes to full-size pickups, the Chevy Silverado 1500 and the Ford F-150 share a place at the top in terms of total sales. It's no secret that they have been arch-rivals for a long time. They're not only the most popular full-size trucks in America, but they're also some the most popular vehicles of any kind on this particular planet. Here are some reasons why the Chevy Silverado 1500 wins this competition and is the one to get at Taylor Grubaugh Chevrolet in Waynesville, MO.
A comparison of trim levels
The new Chevy Silverado 1500 wins the first round by offering you eight different trims while the Ford F-150 gives you only seven. You can get a Chevy Silverado in our new inventory starting at the Work Truck level, followed by the Custom, the LT, the RST, the Custom Trail Boss, the LT Trail Boss, the LTZ and the High Country. At higher trim levels, Springfield, MO truck buyers can choose from off-road options that include the LT Trail Boss and the LTZ. Giving you more choices is the first way that the Chevy Silverado 1500 beats the Ford F-150 in the full-size pickup competition.
A comparison of prices
The Chevy Silverado 1500 is more affordable than the Ford F-150, even though both trucks offer comparable capabilities and features. The Chevy Silverado 1500 starts at around $37,900 and tops out at about $68,700. Meanwhile, the Ford F-150 has a starting price of about $39,500 and it hits an expensive maximum of about $77,200. So the Chevy Silverado 1500 wins again in terms of price and value.
A comparison of standard powertrains and performance
The 2025 Silverado 1500 provides Rolla, MO drivers with more standard torque, more standard towing capability and higher standard payload capacity. For example, the 2025 Silverado 1500's base TurboMax engine generates 430 pound-feet of torque, resulting in a base towing capacity of 9,400 pounds and a base payload of 2,260 pounds.
Unfortunately for Ford, the 2025 Ford F-150's standard engine has an output of only 400 pound-feet of torque, resulting in a maximum towing capacity of just 8,400 pounds, which is 1,000 pounds less than the Chevy Silverado. The Ford F-150 also has 1,785 pounds of payload, which is nearly 500 pounds less than the Silverado 1500.
A comparison of cargo room
The Silverado 1500 offers Lebanon, MO buyers substantially more room in the bed. The Chevy Silverado bed is wider and taller than the one available in the Ford F-150. The standard Silverado 1500 comes with 5.8-foot bed that gives you 62.9 cubic feet. In fact, the Chevy Silverado 1500 has the most cargo volume in the full-size truck class. The Chevy Silverado 1500 gives you a maximum of 89.1 cubic feet vs. the Ford F-150 with only 77.4 cubic feet. So the Ford F-150's bed would easily fit inside the bed of the Chevy Silverado 1500.
A comparison of interior dimensions
When you're spending a lot of the day inside your truck, it's important to have enough space to stretch out and relax. That's another area where the Chevy Silverado 1500 takes great care of you and the Ford F-150 comes up a little short. The new Chevy Silverado 1500 offers Fort Leonard Wood military personnel 44.5 inches of headroom and 43.1 inches of legroom. By contrast, the new Ford F-150 gives you only 43.9 inches of headroom and 40.8 inches of legroom. So the Silverado 1500 wins again when it comes to interior space.
A comparison of technology
Both the Chevy Silverado 1500 and the Ford F-150 come with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. The Ford F-150 does have a larger standard touch screen that measures 12 inches compared with a standard display that's 7 inches in the Chevy. But the Silverado 1500 pulls into the lead once more with an available 13.4-inch touchscreen display while the Ford F-150 is stuck at 12 inches and no larger alternative.
