Upgrades and Updates: 2024 Chevy Silverado vs 2024 Ford F-150
Updates and upgrades to the 2024 Chevy Silverado were mainly aesthetic; however, there were technology upgrades that made OnStar, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto standard for every Silverado.
This year, there was a big trend around turbocharged four-cylinder engines in trucks, and the 2024 Chevy Silverado model lineup was no exception. This year, Chevrolet renamed the 310 horsepower (HP) 2.7L four-cylinder engine the “TurboMax.”
The Silverado is now available in two more metallic color options: Lakeshore Blue and Slate Gray. Another great option for customizing your Silverado is adding the Blackout package, now available for the Custom, Custom Trail Boss, RST, and LT Trail Boss models.
The 2024 Ford F-150 series also received design upgrades and updates. Ford updated the design of the F-150’s grilles, exterior lighting, wheels, and more.
Following this turbocharged trend, Ford also made a big decision to switch the gas-powered V6 engine on its base model, the F-150 XL, for the turbocharged 2.7L V6, which was previously just an option for the 2024 F-150 XL.
Ford’s technology update made the 12-inch infotainment display standard for all 2024 Silverados.
Power and Performance: 2024 Chevy Silverado vs 2024 Ford F-150
The new 2024 Chevy Silverado WT, Custom, Custom Trail Boss, LT, RST, and LT Trail Boss come with a powerful 310 HP TurboMax engine. Other engine options are the 5.3L EcoTec3 V8, 6.2L EcoTec3 V8, and the Duramax 3.0L Turbo-Diesel, available depending on the model's options.
The towing capacity of the 2024 Chevy Silverado ranges from 9,500 to 13,300 pounds. This is where that model and engine will become important to your daily job requirements and the decision you make about the truck you need to accomplish the jobs you need to complete. The 2.7L four-cylinder TurboMax engine can tow a maximum of 9,500 pounds, but the 5.3L EcoTec3 V8 has a towing maximum of 11,500 pounds. The 2024 Chevy Silverado with the Duramax 3.0L Turbo-Diesel engine will reach an impressive 13,300 pounds of towing capacity.
The new 2024 F-150 model lineup has eight models: XL, STX, XLT, TREMOR, LARIAT, King Ranch, Platinum, and Raptor. These Ford pickup trucks also have excellent, standard, optional, high-powered engines, depending on model availability. Ford equipped their F-150 models with the 2.7L EcoBoost V6, the 3.5L PowerBoost Hybrid V6, or the 5.2L Supercharged V8. The F-150 SuperCrew 4x4 with the 3.5L EcoBoost V6 engine with the tow package slightly edges out the Chevy Silverado with a maximum towing capacity of 13,500 pounds.
Comfort, Cargo, and Technology: 2024 Chevy Silverado vs 2024 Ford F-150
The interior of your pickup truck cabin is just as important to finishing a job as the tough, rugged exterior. Comfort is crucial, especially when your Chevy truck doubles as your office space while on the job site or the road.
The new 2024 Chevy Silverado has plenty of front headroom, leg room, and shoulder room, so you and your crew can comfortably fit. The cargo bed is spacious, so you can bring equipment, tools, cargo, and bags along on the ride. The 2024 Chevy Silverado High Country trim includes real wood trim and leather seats.
The 2024 Chevy Silverado has large infotainment screen displays ranging in size from seven to thirteen inches, depending on the trim.
Chevy takes safety while driving seriously, so the Chevy Safety Assist package is standard on your 2024 Silverado. This safety suite includes six driver assistance features and alters, including Forward Collision Alert and Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian Braking, and Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning.
Like the Chevy Silverado, the Ford F-150 has plenty of room for passengers, cargo, and tools. The seats are foldable, making anything in the rear easy to store and access.
The new tailgate in the Ford F-150 is a nice feature because getting in and out of the bed of your pickup truck is why you drive a pickup truck.
Both the Silverado and F-150 trucks have rearview cameras. Where Chevy has its Cargo Assist system installed, Ford offers the Co-Pilot360 features, including BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System), Adaptive Cruise Control, and Pro Trailer Backup Assist, features you will also find on your Chevy.
