Let’s find out how the 2020 Ford F-150 compares to the 2020 Chevrolet Silverado.

Both of these trucks have a versatile engine lineup. If you demand maximum performance, step up to the Ford F-150’s 3.5L EcoBoost engine. Upgraded versions of this engine develop a staggering 450 horsepower and 510 lb-ft of torque. This is more muscle than you get from the Silverado’s range-topping V8 engine, which produces 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. Class-leading towing capabilities make the F-150 an even more capable workhorse. You can use the F-150’s muscle to pull up to 13,200 pounds. Meanwhile, Chevy rates the Silverado with a 12,200 maximum towing capacity.
Off-Roading
Like the 2020 Ford F-150, the 2020 Chevrolet Silverado is tough enough to be taken off the beaten path. While the Silverado Trail Boss can handle a rugged adventure, it’s no match for the award-winning F-150 Ford Raptor. Ford equips this adventurous model with many exclusive off-road upgrades. Special FOX racing shocks automatically adapt to changing terrain. Meanwhile, Trail Control technology gives you even more confidence when traveling through rough backcountry. When activating Trail Control, this system will control acceleration and braking over challenging terrain.

With so many drivers now choosing pickup trucks as their primary family vehicle, passenger safety has become a significant point on emphasis. You can certainly trust the 2020 Ford F-150 to keep your loved ones secure. It scored a five-star overall safety rating from the NHTSA, which is better than the Chevrolet Silverado’s four-star overall rating. Furthermore, a higher number of accident-avoidance technologies come standard on the new F-150. Designed with automatic emergency braking and pedestrian detection, Ford’s Pre-Collision Assist will help you to avoid road hazards daily.
