Chevy Silverado 1500 vs. Ford F-150

2017 Chevy Silverado 1500 vs. 2017 Ford F-150: Design

Ford designers engineered the 2017 F-150 with an aluminum alloy body. While the Ford pickup truck has lowered its weight, it's lacking in toughness. Aluminum alloy tends to dent, ding, scratch, and puncture under the rigors of a workday. A recent study showed that if you dropped a metal toolbox on its corner into the bed of a F-150, it left a deep gash. The 2017 Chevy Silverado is built with all-steel construction that's built to stand up to toolboxes and equipment. Other key design advantages for the 2017 Chevy Silverado include:

  • The Silverado comes with a CornerStep rear bumper to allow for easier access to the bed.
  • Heated adjustable power mirrors come standard on the Chevy Silverado and provide greater visibility, even when it's cold.
  • The rubberized vinyl flooring included with the Silverado 1500 makes cleaning up easy.
  • The Ford F-150 comes with an aluminum body.

When it comes to connected technology, both the 2017 Chevy Silverado 1500 and the 2017 Ford F-150 offer systems designed to put more entertainment options in your hands. The Chevrolet MyLink® audio system and Ford Sync® system come with similar features for hands-free calling, infotainment, and audio streaming, but there are differences drivers need to consider.

  • Chevy MyLink® has a standard 7-in. diagonal touchscreen, but the screen with Ford SYNC® is much smaller.
  • Voice-activated technology is standard with Chevy MyLink®, but only optional with Ford models.
  • Bluetooth® connectivity for streaming audio or hands-free calls are included with both systems.
  • Connect to Pandora® Internet radio with Chevy MyLink®, but the Ford SYNC® system doesn't offer this feature.
