Two of the best trucks going head to head. What one would u pick off? Chevy or Ford. Two truck titans that are constantly grouped together are the Ford F-150 and the Chevy Silverado.  These trucks are often grouped together because they are both American made.

Engine- The Chevy has a 4.3 L V6 , 5.3 L V8 6.2 L V8 and the Ford F150 has a 2.7 LV6 , 3.0 LV6 diesel , 3.3 L V6 , 3.5 VL6 and a 5.0 LV8. I would get a Chevy truck if I towing heavy things with a V8. I would want a Ford truck to drive places and not towing and the chevy has the better engine because it has more options for people.

Bed size – The Ford F 150 2018 has a 66 inches to 96 inches for the  bed size in the back.The Chevy Silverado have a 69.6 to 98.4 bed size in the back. I would get the Chevy to get some wood or other things that would not fit it would fall out of the bed.

Towing – The Chevy Silverado can tow 5,500 to 9,400 lbs.The Ford F-150 can tow 5,000 to 8,000 lbs. I would buy the Chevy truck because if I need to tow something that is 9000 I can tow it.

Mileage – The Ford truck has 15-20 city and 18-26 highway. The Chevy trucks have 15-18 city and 19-24 highway.  The Ford has the better mileage in the city and on the highway. I would get the Ford so I can go farther than the Chevy on the highway and in the city.

Horsepower- The Ford has 250-450 horsepower on their trucks. The Chevy has 280- 420 horsepower on there trucks. I think that Ford have the better horsepower then the Chevy trucks.  

Two of the teachers would rather get a chevy over ford . Three of the teachers would get ford over chevy
