Ford
F-150 vs. Chevrolet Silverado Price
From
the start, the Ford F-150 features a lower Manufacturer's Suggested Retail
Price than does the Silverado, so you can either pocket the savings or use them
to upgrade trim levels or add desired features. Then, when you consider the
fact that the Ford F-150 offers better EPA-estimated fuel economy both in city
and highway driving, your savings continue to add up throughout your entire
ownership.

F-150 vs. Chevrolet Silverado Interior
Both
the F-150 and Silverado start with basic introductory models, but as you move
up in available trim levels the interior features, furnishings, and
technologies become quite deluxe. The Ford F-150 has the edge over the
Silverado from the start, thanks to its much more comfortable front seats.
Also, the Ford SYNC® 3 infotainment system is much more user-friendly than the
Chevy's MyLink system, and it's evident at first glance that the F-150 features
the more comfortable, attractive, and ergonomic interior.
Ford
F-150 vs. Chevrolet Silverado Features
Base
models of each pickup include standard air conditioning, power steering and
cloth seats. However, the introductory F-150 comes with many other standard
features that either aren't offered for the base Silverado, or will cost you
yet more money to add -- proving again that the F-150 offers the best value
from the start. These include variable speed intermittent wipers, a passenger
vanity mirror, auto-off headlights, and even a full-size spare tire!
When
it comes to configuring your truck, both the F-150 and the Silverado are
available in single cab, extended cab, and crew cab options, with short,
standard- and long-bed setups to boot. However, the Silverado is only available
in five cab/bed configurations; the F-150 provides you with nine from which to
choose -- including a crew cab/long-bed combination that delivers the most
combined cab and bed space of all.
