Learn How The Chevy Silverado 1500 Compares to other Full-Size Pickup Trucks

The Chevy Silverado 1500 Offers Power and Features - See How it Compares to the Competition

The legendary Chevrolet Silverado 1500 half-ton pickup truck has been a go-to for drivers in the Cuyahoga Falls area for many years, and it's always been a fan favorite here at Progressive Chevrolet. We carry the latest, new Chevy Silverado 1500 models at our Massillon dealership, and we want to help you get to know them better today, by demonstrating for you how they compare side by side with similar models from competing brands.

Chevy Silverado 1500 vs. Ford F-150

Shopping for a new truck in this class around the Kent area can be confusing, with multiple options to choose from, such as the Ford F-150. However, when you dive a little deeper, as we have, you'll find that our Silverado 1500 comes our ahead in several key areas:

  • Diesel powertrain option. For our Canton customers who prefer the boost of power and efficiency found in a diesel-powered truck, consider the Chevy Silverado 1500 over the Ford F-150. After all, our Silverado 1500 model has a turbocharged 3.0-liter six-cylinder diesel engine with 305 horsepower and 495 pound-feet of torque in its menu of options, while the Ford F-150 doesn't have a diesel option available.
  • Passenger comfort. Whether you prefer a four-door crew cab, an extended cab, or a regular cab pickup truck, you'll have more room to stretch your legs out in the front seat of the Chevy Silverado than the Ford F-150. The Chevy truck offers extra inches of front legroom when compared to the Ford F-150, making it a great choice for drivers.
  • Features. Towing a trailer or a boat has never been easier than with the Silverado 1500, thanks to its available trailering features, which come standard as soon as the second trim level in the lineup. These include a trailering package and hitch guidelines for the backup camera, both of which you get as soon as the second trim in the Chevy lineup, but which aren't available until much higher up for the Ford F-150.

    • Chevy Silverado 1500 vs. Ram 1500

    Another in the crowded sea of half-ton trucks, the Ram 1500 also puts up a good fight for your attention. Next to the Chevy Silverado 1500, however, it pales in comparison across several key areas, such as:

  • Utility. When you have heavier loads you want to tow with your new pickup truck, the Chevy Silverado 1500 is there to help. Our truck can tow up to 13,300 pounds, making it useful in a variety of situations. Meanwhile, the Ram 1500 tops out at just 8,360 pounds for towing.
  • Engine options and output. In choosing the Chevy Silverado 1500, Ohio drivers get their pick of engine options, from a menu of four impressive powertrains. These top out with a 420-horsepower V8 engine that produces 460 pound-feet of torque. However, the Ram 1500, which boasts a top power of 395 horsepower and 410 pound-feet of torque from its traditional trimline, has less maximum power and only three engines to choose from.
  • Interior design and comfort. Driving or riding in the front passenger seat of the Chevy Silverado 1500 remains more comfortable than in competing models, thanks to an expansive front seat that offers more room to stretch out in. For example, here you'll find just around 40 inches of legroom for the front of the Ram 1500, but more than 44 inches for the front of the Chevy truck.
