Compare The New Ford F-150 Against The Competition

The New Ford F-150 Vs. the Chevy Silverado 1500 and Ram 1500: Finding Your Correct Truck Option

Competing in the modern pickup truck market is a daunting task. So many brands are equipped with high-quality features, immense towing power, and capable engines. Here at Hammonasset Ford, we carry every Ford F-150 model on the market, and each offers extreme performance, an array of additional features, and the versatility you need on the job site. Let's see how the Chevy Silverado 1500 and Ram 1500 compare to this truck, and find out why the Ford F-150 is a great all-around vehicle.

Ford F-150 Vs. Chevy Silverado 1500

     
  • One feature that makes the Ford F-150 so unique is its wide variety of trims. With eight different options to choose from, there's a model for everyone. You might need a primary work truck, like the XL trim, or you're looking for the premium luxury offered in the Platinum trim. While the Chevy Silverado has seven available trims, it's hard to compete with the additional features, engines, and power the Ford F-150 provides.
    •  
  • When you're looking at your next truck, you need a range of engine options. The Ford F-150 features four engines. A twin-turbocharged 2.7-liter V6, 5.0-liter V8, twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6, and a hybrid powertrain. The Chevy Silverado also features four different engine choices, but there's no hybrid option. In an industry that's becoming more electric by the day, you always need an available option for electric fans.
    •  
  • Towing capacity determines whether you're fit to hang with the powerhouses or not. The Ford F-150 is currently at the top of its game, boasting an impressive 13,500 pounds of towing capacity, and a maximum payload of 2,445 pounds. The Chevy Silverado is close behind, with 13,300 pounds of towing capacity and 2,280 pounds of payload. The numbers speak for themselves.
    •  
  • Interior comfort is a modern-day truck factor, which the Ford F-150 proudly shows off. When you're on the move, you can turn the center console into a flat workstation, making those quick notes easier to take on the job site. The Silverado has a generous amount of space like the F-150, but nothing beats a portable office.

Ford F-150 Vs. Ram 1500

     
  • When you're searching for a low-cost truck, the Ford F-150 should be your go-to vehicle. The base XL model has a price tag of $38,565. Compared to the base Ram 1500 Tradesman trim at $41,415, you can see the price difference for yourself. Find the affordable F-150 model that works within your budget.
    •  
  • While the Ram 1500 offers a similar hybrid powertrain, there are fewer engine options. Only two engines are available, while the Ford F-150 treats drivers to four choices. Furthermore, even though every Ram 1500 comes with an eight-speed automatic transmission, the Ford F-150 utilizes a ten-speed automatic transmission, demonstrating even more power when towing large loads.
    •  
  • Much like the Chevy Silverado, the Ram 1500 falls a little behind the Ford F-150 towing power. With a maximum towing grade of 12,750 pounds, this truck is still extremely capable but not as strong as the Ford F-150 and its 13,500-pound towing capacity.
    •  
  • You should find luxury in every nook and cranny of your truck. Multiple cubbies make storing your tools a breeze inside the Ford F-150. There's also an optional generator in the bed that provides up to 7.2 kW of power. The Ram 1500 is known for its lavish interior, but there's no generator option or multiple small storage compartments.
