The F-150 Has Another Challenger

Let’s Introduce the Contenders

The 2020 Ford F-150 pickup truck has earned a solid reputation as one of America’s favorite pickup trucks. Thanks to generations of service, the F-150 brings capability, power, and dependability to every job. For 2020, the F-150 shines even brighter thanks to cutting edge technology, invaluable capability aids, and an ultra-capable EcoBoost engine.

However, the 2020 Chevy Silverado 1500 won’t rest until it steals some of the F-150’s shine; it doesn’t but that doesn’t stop the Chevy from trying. Strap yourself in as we unpack both trucks, and discover how the F-150 stays at the top of its game. To explore this dynamic pickup truck in person, make your way down to Zeigler Ford Plainwell and get behind the wheel.

Leading Style

The 2020 Ford F-150 sits comfortably in its own sense of style that incorporates dynamic available LED headlights and an oversized grille. Strong character impressions travel up its muscular hood, while strong lines travel down its body. The F-150 utilizes high-strength, military-grade aluminum alloy to ensure that no matter how stylish the truck is, it's even stronger than it looks.

The 2020 Chevy Silverado has been taking notes because it features a striking resemblance to the F-150. Also featuring sleek headlights and an oversized grille, the 2020 Silverado plays copy-cat in the style department, but still falls short, as the F-150 is far more appealing to the eyes.

Uncompromised Performance

The standard engine powering the F-150 is a 3.3-liter V6 that generates 290 horsepower. Opt for the 2020 Ford F-150 Limited and you'll enjoy all that the pickup truck has to offer, including a High Output 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine that generates an incredible 450 horsepower and 510 lb-ft of torque. Mated to a 10-speed SelectShift automatic transmission, there’s nothing that the F-150 can’t do. Thanks to an incredible intelligent four-wheel drive system, you can drive with the freedom to conquer the offroad while the powerful engine gives you the ability to tow up to 12,000lbs. Pop open the hood of the 2020 Chevy Silverado and you’ll enjoy power from the standard 4.3-liter V6 that generates 285 horsepower. Mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission, the Silverado is not nearly as refined as the 2020 F-150, nor does it offer the many capabilities of the Ford.

All-Around Safety

The F-150 lets you command the road with confidence thanks to Ford Co-Pilot360^™, an advanced suite of driver-assist safety features. The suite includes amenities like BLIS^® (Blind Spot Information System) with Trailer Coverage, which not only uses radar technology to let you know if it's safe to change lanes but also factors in for your trailer so you never have lane change woes even while you have a trailer attached. Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection can apply emergency brake force when necessary, while Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go works even in stop and go traffic to reduce fatigue.

Once again taking cues from the Ford, the 2020 Chevy Silverado offers safety features like automatic emergency braking, lane assist, and a rearview camera. What it fails to offer is Ford’s Pro Trailer Backup Assist that allows you to maneuver your trailer with ease.

First Class Luxury

Climb inside the 2020 Ford F-150 and you’ll enjoy luxuries and amenities that ensure that your commute can handle all of your dirty jobs in first class. Hop in the Ford F-150 Limited and you’ll enjoy plush accommodations that include an expansive panoramic moonroof, dual-zone automatic climate control, and plush leather seats. Remaining just as functional as it is luxurious, the F-150 features generous in-cab conveniences like a flat loading floor and under-seat storage for incredible storage when you need it.

Once again, the 2020 Chevy Silverado takes strides to replicate the luxury and capabilities of the 2020 Ford F-150. Leather seating is also available, as is dual-zone automatic climate control, and seatback storage.

Touching on Technology

The 2020 Ford F-150 gives you a connected experience thanks to the available 8-inch productivity screen set between your analog gauges. Feeding you a constant flow of information, the F-150 feeds you tow, trip, off-road, and all your vital information. Providing all of your infotainment is the 8-inch Ford SYNC3^™ that brings available built-in navigation, along with conveniences like Apple CarPlay^® and Android Auto^™. The Ford F-150 even stays connected to you while you’re apart thanks to the FordPass Connect^™ app. The invaluable app lets you connect with your pickup truck even while you’re away, locking the doors, starting the engine, and even checking vitals.

The 2020 Chevy Silverado brings touchscreen infotainment through a rather small display, yet gives you Apple CarPlay^® and Android Auto^™ capabilities.
