If you're looking for a new pickup truck in Newark, DE, there's only two models worthy of note; the new 2023 Chevy Silverado 1500 and its rival, the Ford F-150. Both light duty trucks are great for work and recreation, but one among them is clearly better among the two. Read on to learn more about how these two models stack up to each other.
Size and Dimensions
Both the new Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and Ford F-150 are relatively even when it comes to interior space. Both offer regular, double, and crew cabs to accommodate anywhere from three to five passengers when properly equipped. However, when it comes to bed space, the new Chevy Silverado 1500 has more cargo capacity in its short Bed thanks to its DuraBed design than you'd get with the similarly equipped Ford F-150 and its short bed.
Power and Fuel Economy
While the new Ford F-150 may be bit better bet on the fuel economy front thanks to its available hybrid powertrain options, it lags behind on standard horsepower. With its entry-level powertrain, the new Chevy Silverado 1500 boasts a robust 310 horsepower, while the Ford F-150 manages just 290 horsepower with its entry level engine.
Technology
On the tech front, the new Chevy Silverado 1500 and Ford F-150 are on relatively even footing, both offering Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and even an onboard Wi-Fi hotspot support.
Safety
With featured like blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, both the new Chevrolet Silverado and Ford F-150 are well-equipped to keep you secure on the roads of New Castle and Wilmington, DE.
