2020 Ford F-150 vs. 2020 Silverado 1500
The Ford F-Series has been America’s top-selling trucks for 42 years, and the 2020 Ford F-150 expands upon that legacy, especially when compared to the competition, such as the 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 1500.
Powertrain & Performance
Ford lets you choose from a six-engine lineup when you buy the 2020 F-150, ensuring you’ll find the powertrain you want and need. The 3.5-liter EcoBoost® provides you with 375 and best-in-class 470 pound-feet of torque, eclipsing the 2020 Silverado’s torque numbers.
The High-Output 3.5-liter EcoBoost® refuses to be outdone, pairing with a 10-speed automatic transmission and offering a best-in-class 450 horsepower to go with 510 pound-feet of torque.
The 3.0-liter PowerStroke® Turbo Diesel leads the diesel class in every category. Use this engine to tow 11,500 pounds or fill the bed with 1,940 pounds of payload. In addition to earning 29 mpg on the highway,* it pumps out 250 horsepower and 440 pound-feet of torque — more than you’ll find in any other diesel full-size pickup, including the 2020 Silverado 1500.
Capabilities
No matter if it’s gas or diesel, the 2020 Ford F-150 can tow more than any other pickup in its class, outworking and outperforming the 2020 Chevy Silverado 1500. Tow up to 13,200 pounds with the 3.5-liter EcoBoost® twin-turbo V6.
Ford reduced weight in the 2020 F-150 by building the body and bed out of lightweight, high-strength, military-grade aluminum alloy. This enables the pickup to haul a best-in-class 2,309 pounds of payload, more than the 2,250 pounds offered by the 2020 Silverado 1500.
Ford knows that small business owners, contractors, and anyone with a job that requires high towing capabilities want assurances of safety when trailering. The 2020 Ford F-150 sports class-exclusive features such as Pro Trailer Backup Assist™, deployable box side steps, and Ford Co-Pilot360™ so you can enjoy best-in-class towing capacity with peace of mind.
