Power, Performance, and Powertrain: How does the 2024 F-150 compare to the 2024 Chevy Silverado?
Ford takes power, performance, and powertrains seriously when it comes to the 2024 F-150 model lineup. These models are at the top of the class for power, handling, and towing. Ford’s light-duty pickup truck series offers buyers the option to power through with a V6 30.6-gallon (PowerBoost® engine only), the 3.5L PowerBoost® Full Hybrid V6, or the Hybrid model with an electronic 10-speed automatic transmission. Ready for more power? The F-150 is a full-size pickup truck ready to tow and haul up to 8,500 lbs. It also has off-road capability.
Available in eight trim models (XL, STX, XLT, TREMOR, LARIAT, King Ranch, Platinum, and the Raptor) the Ford F-150 series has engine options and optional packages for every Ford truck buyer. Choose between the 3.5L EcoBoost V6 and the 5.2L Supercharged V8, maximizing your towing, hauling, and off-road capability.
The 2024 Chevy Silverado is a competitor in its class. With nine trim packages and 2WD and 4WD options, it is a powerful 10-speed automatic transmission truck with a 5.3L EcoTec3 engine delivering 355 horsepower and 383 lb.-ft. of torque. With a max trailer capacity of 9,300 pounds, the 2024 Chevy Silverado has much to offer shoppers in this class of trucks, but is it enough to switch from a Ford to a Chevy in 2024?

With heated leather seats and enough space to comfortably seat up to five passengers, the Ford F-150 is the ride you are always ready to drive.

The 2024 Chevy Silverado is still an excellent choice for comfort. It is a comfortable truck with foldable seats and plenty of room for equipment and passengers.
The Silverado's touch screen is smaller, at only 7 inches, it does offer Bluetooth audio streaming and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. There are two charging ports and a 12-volt auxiliary front power outlet, which makes charging on the go a breeze.
