2024 Ford F-150 vs Chevy Silverado

Light-duty pickup trucks have taken the U.S. automotive market by storm over the past few years, and rightly so. The fact that they’re great for working professionals who need to tow and carry large loads comes as no surprise, but newer models can do much more than that. From off-roading capability to infotainment technology, trucks are arguably the most versatile vehicles on the road today.

Two quintessential names in this segment are Ford F-150 and Chevrolet Silverado. Their 2024 models slightly enhance existing versions. Here’s how they compare.

Interior Comparison

Both the 2024 Ford F-150’s interior and the Silverado’s have seen massive improvements over the past few years. The 2024 Chevrolet Silverado features high-quality materials, particularly in the higher trims, and its controls are easy to find. The 13.4-inch touch-screen interface is compatible with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, making it easy to connect your smartphone wirelessly. However, the interior comfort levels are still a bit truck-like, especially on uneven roads.

The 2024 Ford F-150 excels in this department and makes everyone inside feel like they’re in an upscale SUV. The seats are both soft and supportive, and they can come with many additional features, such as massage, lumbar adjustment, cooling, and heating. The suspension and insulation system both contribute to the interior comfort, canceling out most bumps and noises. Tech-wise, the F-150 also includes the latest infotainment system and has easy-to-use functions.

Safety Features Comparison

Although the full list of safety features for the 2024 Ford F-150 and Chevrolet Silverado isn’t yet official, they will likely be similar to the 2023 models. Both feature an impressive list of driver aids meant to help their drivers maximize their chances of avoiding any danger on the road. Some of the standard features available on both models are:

• Forward collision mitigation system: It alerts the driver if a collision with an object or vehicle in front of the truck is imminent and even applies the brakes in certain scenarios.
• Lane departure warning: It senses if the truck begins drifting out of its lane without the turn signal being activated.

The 2024 F-150 also comes with standard automatic high beams, while the 2024 Silverado has a standard lane-keep assist that steers it back into its original lane if the driver doesn’t do so after the lane departure warning is activated. The F-150 also provides this in its second XLT trim and other helpful active safety systems, such as blind-spot warning and rear automatic braking. For both models, higher trims add even more driver aids. In conclusion, both are very well-equipped when it comes to active safety.

Towing Capacity Comparison

The 2024 Ford F-150 has the best towing capacity in its category and can tow up to 14,000 pounds. The 2024 Silverado has a 13,300 towing capacity, which is also very good compared to many other similar vehicles. The F-150 is the winner in this category, however.

Another crucial quality of a truck is its ability to carry heavy loads. The 2024 Ford F-150 also excels in this category, with an amazing 3,325-pound payload capacity. The 2024 Silverado’s 2,250-pound payload capacity is almost 1,000 pounds lower.

2024 Ford F-150 and 2024 Chevrolet Silverado Price Comparison

While the 2024 Ford F-150 and 2024 Chevrolet Silverado prices aren’t definitive yet, both are likely to be similar to their previous versions. The 2024 Silverado’s estimated starting MSRP will be around $39,000. The 2024 Ford F-150 will likely be even less expensive, with a starting MSRP of around $35,000.

Dimensions

The 2024 Chevrolet Silverado has a length of 241.3 inches, a width of 81.2 inches, and is 75.4 inches tall. Its total passenger volume is 139 cubic feet. The Ford F-150 is slightly smaller, with 231.7 inches in length, 79.9 inches in width, and 79.9 inches in height. It has a similar passenger volume, at 136 cubic feet. This may make the F-150 more appealing to drivers who want to take their trucks on tight city roads.

Engines

The 2024 Ford F-150 and 2024 Chevrolet Silverado come with long lists of engine choices, allowing drivers to choose a configuration that fits their needs. The available engines on the F-150 are:

• A 3.3-liter V-6 with 290 horsepower and 265 lb-ft of torque.
• A turbocharged 2.7-liter with 325 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque.
• A 5.0-liter V-8 with 400 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque.

• A hybrid powertrain named PowerBoost combines an electric motor and battery pack with a 3.5-liter V-6 to produce an aggregate of 430 horsepower and 570 lb-ft of torque.

While the 2024 Silverado also boasts a multitude of engine choices, the variety is smaller than that of the 2024 F-150. The available engines on the Silverado are:

• A turbocharged 2.7-liter four-cylinder with 310 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque.
• A 5.3-liter V-8 with 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque.
• A 6.2-liter V-8 with 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque.
• A turbocharged 3.0-liter V-6 diesel with 305 horsepower and 495 lb-ft of torque.

Both vehicles will also feature fully electric versions for their 2024 lineup, but they will be sold separately from the gas-powered and hybrid models.
