Parker CO Area – 2020 Ford F-150 vs 2020 Chevy Silverado
Big Mike Naughton Ford – Parker CO Area – 2020 Ford F-150 vs 2020 Chevy Silverado
The F-150 and Silverado are two of the most popular pickup trucks on the road, and the team at Big Mike Naughton Ford serving Parker, Centennial, and Aurora, Colorado recently presented our 2020 Ford F-150 vs 2020 Chevrolet Silverado comparison. In this blog post, our goal is to take a closer look at your cab and bed options as well as towing capabilities.
Bed Options
You may have noticed that the 2020 Chevrolet Silverado beds are listed as a bit longer on the spec sheet. They range from about 69 to 98 inches whereas the Ford beds range from about 66 to 96. The difference can be several inches in some cases, but the practical difference is minimal. The F-150 beds can, for instance, accommodate a 4-by-8 sheet of plywood just fine. In terms of durability ratings, but have performed well and similarly in independent testing. There are similar lining options available for both trucks, but critics have seemed to prefer the tie-down options offered by Ford.
Cab Options
Chevrolet offers a regular cab, a double cab and a crew cab. Ford offers a regular cab, a SuperCab and a SuperCrew. Names aside, these three options are quite similar. The main difference between the double SuperCab and crew SuperCrew is half-size versus full-size doors. Another difference is that Ford offers the best legroom in class. Consider that Ford gives you 43.6 inches of legroom whereas Chevy gives you 43.4 in similarly equipped crew cab models. While 0.2 inches may not seem like a big deal, it can be when seating large adults who have to travel around and work out of that truck all day.
Towing Capabilities
Towing is an area where you have to look beyond the marketing. While the trucks are similar in regard to towing capabilities, Chevrolet claims higher maximums. Ford, however, offers higher minimums. The base F-150 can tow more than the base Silverado, and you only need step up one engine level with the F-150 to get more than 400 pound-feet of torque. Chevy requires you to step up more than that, so you really need to compare towing capabilities within the context of your budget.
