Pickup trucks are the ultimate American vehicle. They combine utility with comfort, giving drivers the ability to use pickup trucks for work or
 everyday driving. By far, the most popular truck from the 2022 Ford lineup is the Ford F-150, and the best truck from Chevy is their Silverado.
We'll compare how these two pickups stack up with one another so you can make the best decision. And if you're looking to purchase either
 one, Lowell Ford is the place you can find them!
Performance
The Ford F-150 features several powertrain options ranging from a 290 horsepower V6 engine to a 400 horsepower twin-turbocharged V-6 engine.
 Additionally, the 2022 F-150 is the first-ever F-150 model that offers a 400-horsepower hybrid powertrain, which claims to offer up to 700 miles of
 driving range per tank. Drivers also have the option to choose between rear and four-wheel drive with any of the engines. In comparison, theÂ
Chevy Silverado has similar performance with powertrain options that range from 355 horsepower to 420 horsepower. It's hard
 to go wrong with either truck in terms of performance. If you're looking to maximize fuel economy, the Chevy Silverado may have a slight edge.Â
The optional diesel for the Silverado is estimated at 23Â mpg city and 33 mpg highway, while the most economical F-150 earns only up to 20 mpg
 city and 26 mpg highway.
Trailering Equipment and Tow Ratings
Trailing and towing are major components when it comes to pickup trucks. While both are excellent options, the F-150 does have an advantage
 over the Chevy Silverado. The F-150 maxes out at 8200 pounds with its 3.3-liter V-6 engine, but its 3.5-liter V-6 engine tows up to 14,000 pounds.
 Comparatively, the Silverado has a max towing capacity that ranges between 7,900 and 13,300. While the difference in towing capacities might be
 minuscule, the difference in payload capacity is noticeable. The F-150's payload capacity ranges from 1840 to 3250, while the Silverado's ranges
 from 1870 to 2280.
Safety
Nowadays, driving assistance is becoming a standard for many cars. Both pickups come with standard driving assistance, but the F-150 has a few
 more advanced options. Every F-150 comes standard with Ford's Co-Pilot 360 along with pedestrian detection. Buyers can choose to upgrade to
 more advanced technology, such as Ford's new Bluecruise technology, which offers hands-free semi-autonomous driving. The Chevy Silverado does
 offer an option package for lower trim levels, such as automatic emergency braking and forward-collision warning with pedestrian detection.Â
Higher trims receive other safety features like lane-keeping assistance, adaptive cruise control, and lane-departure warning.
