The Chevrolet Silverado and Ford F-150 have been rivals for as long as both trucks have been in production. For the current model year, a comparison between the 2025 Chevrolet Silverado vs. 2025 Ford F-150 shows just how competitive this class is and how much buyers need to know. The team at Davis Chevrolet thought it would be helpful to examine these trucks side-by-side. Basically, both trucks are evenly matched in several areas, but the differences matter in the margins. Follow along while we take a closer look.

Performance
Engine Options
Both trucks are among the top-performing entries in the segment, and both have a wide range of engine options to consider. However, when buyers need to balance performance and fuel economy, only the Silverado offers a diesel engine option.
Towing Capacity
When the 2025 Silverado 1500 is properly equipped, it can tow up to 6,033 kg (13,300 pounds), another of the top marks in the class demonstrated by the Chevrolet pickup. The current F-150 lineup does offer very similar towing specs at its top range.
Design
Interior Comfort
Both trucks offer similar systems for keeping drivers and passengers comfortable on the coldest or hottest days. However, people sitting in the front seats of the 2025 Silverado will have more legroom than front passengers in the current F-150. The same is true for rear passengers in crew cab models.
Payload Capacity
When it comes to hauling items in the cargo bed, the two trucks are evenly matched. Chevrolet offers a few advantages for securing cargo with more available tie-downs. Also, the Multifunction tailgate is available with the Silverado. Ford doesn’t have a similar tailgate system.
Technology
Advanced Connectivity
Chevrolet and Ford both offer commonly available smartphone access to the Apple CarPlay and Android Auto suites of applications. The Silverado takes that connectivity a step further by offering Google Built-In, with easier access to Google products for email and navigation.
Safety
Each automaker takes a different approach to protecting drivers and passengers on the road. The Chevrolet Safety Assist system is standard equipment across the board, with the following sensors installed on every 2025 Silverado:
- Forward Collision Alert w/ Automatic Emergency Braking
- Front Pedestrian Braking
- Lane Keep Assist w/ Lane Departure Warning
- Following Distance Indicator
