In the field of trucks, the battle between the automobile designers is ferocious given how great the innovations are, the changes fast, the motorizations always more performant, the functionalities and the characteristics more and more technological. But in the market of this full-size segment, the Ford F-150 remains a North American reference and for cause, since it has been on the market for over 50 years and has never stopped improving. Today, it has the upper-hand, and to convince ourselves of it, we will compare it this time with another good full-size truck, the 2020 Chevy Silverado.
The South Shore dealership in Montreal, near Longueuil, Brossard, Carignan and Chambly, Krono Ford St-Basile, is distinguished by exceptional service and refined knowledge of 2020 Ford products. They excel in this field because they get to the bottom of things and, when it comes to full-size trucks, they know much more than the others. Today, they are talking about the 2020 Ford F-150 by comparing it with the 2020 Chevrolet Silverado.
The 2020 F-150 vs. the 2020 Silverado
At the start line, from an aesthetic point of view, the 2020 F-150 Ford looks imposing with its wide rear trunk that allows you to carry a lot of equipment and the finishes are neat. It quickly becomes clear that this is a high-end vehicle, and as you get a little closer, you'll appreciate the interior look of this full-size truck with super-comfortable leather seats on most F-150 models. The seating is comfortable, right down to the rear seat which offers the same level of standing as the front seats, in addition to the other innovative features in a spacious, versatile and user-friendly cabin with avant-gardist features worthy of the builder with the blue oval.
As far as the 2020 F-150 is concerned, its size now allows it exemplary handling, even if it carries a lot of goods. The pickup is stable and initiates turns in a flexible manner. Most of the engines in the range are powerful and lively, including the 3.5-liter Ecoboost V6, which has 450 horsepower and 510 lb-ft of torque. Its towing capacity is not left out since Ford's 2020 F-150 can reach up to 5,987 kg or 13,200 pounds, enough to largely satisfy you on construction sites or when you go on an adventure with all your gear. In 2020, the manufacturer will offer you the 360 Ford Co-Pilot and a new aesthetic package for the XL, SLT and Lariat versions with many features, including ingenious 4G LTE, USB sockets, Bluetooth, built-in Wi-Fi, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity and its six engines available in many versions.
Even though the 2020 Chevrolet Silverado has cutting-edge features and functionalities, and that this full-size truck is a vehicle in demand, the F-150 is at the top with more than 150,000 units sold on the market compared to barely 115,000 for Silverado and GMC Sierra combined. This statistic gives relief to the F-150 against its rival. In terms of comfort, the latter is comfortable and well-rated in front of other trucks of the same segment, except that the 2020 F-150, with its new aesthetic sets beats its rival at the finish line. Over the years, Ford has improved the aesthetics of its full-size star truck.
The 2020 Silverado also has excellent road behaviour, but its engines are significantly less powerful and much less numerous than those of the 2020 F-150. Even with the 6.2-liter V8 engine, which develops 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque, the latter fails to outperform the Ford F-150 with its Eco boost engine. The same can be said of the towing capacity, where you can only reach 5,443 kg or 12,000 pounds, a gap of 1,200 pounds in favor of the F-150. In 2020, Chevrolet has developed a new diesel engine for its Silverado RST with an adaptive regulator and towing assistance system. These features were already present on the 2020 Ford F-150 long before Chevrolet discovered this idea.
St-Basile Ford: Built tough
What we can understand from this text, without a shadow of a doubt, is that the 2020 Ford F-150 dominates again and again and wins this comparative match. Krono Ford St-Basile, on Montreal's South Shore near Longueuil and Chambly, invites you to discover its 2020 F-150 with all its new features added especially for you.
