Performance and engines are arguably the most important elements in any truck. The more options, configurations, and power a truck has, the better. Both the Ford F-150 and Chevy Silverado 1500 have great performance, but decide for yourself with these highlights.
The Ford F-150 Offers Higher Capability: The Ford F-150 and Chevy Silverado 1500 offer stiff competition to each other when it comes to capabilities, yet the Ford gets the edge. The F-150 offers a maximum available 13,500 pounds of towing capability, 2,440 pounds of hauling capability, and a maximum available 640 pound-feet of torque. The Chevy is barely below those numbers, offering 13,300 pounds of towing capacity, 2,260 pounds of maximum hauling capability, and a maximum of 495 pound-feet of torque.
The Chevy Silverado 1500 Has Best-in-Class Standard Torque: Standard power is huge, and the Chevy Silverado 1500 offers a best-in-class 430 pound-feet of standard torque, more than the standard 400 pound-feet of torque on the Ford F-150's base engine.
The Ford F-150 Offers More Engines: When it comes to your options, the Ford F-150 has the Chevy Silverado 1500 beat. Choose from six engine options in the Ford F-150, while the Chevy Silverado 1500 only offers four engine options. That means you can build your Ford F-150 more accurately for your specific needs.
