Whatever you need the Chevy Silverado for, it’ll handle the job. Beginning at $37,445, we’re positive you’ll find the Silverado that compliments your lifestyle.

The Ford F-150 also offers a wide range of models. As a versatile truck, the Ford F-150 can compete with the Silverado. There are models built for the job site, built to roam the unexplored world and more. The difference, though, is how much drivers are willing to spend on a higher-tier model. For the top-notch Silverado trim – the High Country – drivers are looking to spend around $64,695. Compared to the price of the Ford F-150 Platinum Plus, you’re looking at a $20,000 difference. Luxury on a budget is possible, and the Silverado makes it happen.

Towing Power

If you’re in the market for a new truck, we’re positive you already know about their towing power; it’s the main reason you buy a truck in the first place. The Chevy Silverado turns even the most demanding jobs into lightwork. With a maximum towing capacity of 13,300 pounds, you’ll be hauling work equipment without a problem and your boat on the weekends. If you decide to go camping, feel free to utilize the 2,280-pound payload capacity.

Don’t count the Ford F-150 out, though. This truck is a competent hauler, too. You can handle up to 13,500 pounds with the F-150; however, you’ll be paying a hefty price for that amount of power. Affordable towing behemoths all share the same name: the Chevy Silverado.

Technology and Safety

Inside every Silverado is a touchscreen infotainment system that you can connect to via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Keep your family connected while you’re on the road with the standard mobile hotspot. While the Ford F-150 has a 12.0-inch display screen, the Silverado is available with a 13.4-inch display.
