2019 Ford F-150 vs 2019 Chevy Silverado


Some folks are calling the new 2019 Ford F-150 the epitome of technology, endurance, and efficiency with features never before offered in a pickup truck. And you know, they may be right. The new 2019 Ford F-150 is stronger and lighter than ever before thanks to the use of effective high-strength steel, and military-grade aluminum alloy. In addition, Ford’s ingenious engineers have hardened the new F-150’s body and cargo box by heat treating the metals involved in the truck’s construction to produce greater strength throughout. Thanks to all their efforts, the new F-150 now achieves best-in-class maximum ratings for overall towing, overall payload, and an available diesel EPA-estimated fuel economy rating of 30 mpg hwy. There are 7 dynamic F-150 models in all: XL, XLT, Lariat, King Ranch, Platinum, Limited and Raptor. And when it comes to power—regardless of which model you choose—the new 2019 Ford F-150 is practically unstoppable thanks to its 5 available engines. One such engine is the 450-hp High-Output 3.5L EcoBoost, an engine that comes standard on the Limited and Raptor trims.

When we compare the new 2019 Ford F-150 to other trucks in its class, the rivalry between the Ford F-150 and the Chevy Silverado is bound to come up.
