If you're in the market for a full-size pickup, you probably already know that the 2025 Ford F-150 is a leader in this hotly competitive class. The 2025 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is another standout in the category, but how does it stack up against its Ford counterpart? To see why the Ford F-150 is the better choice for most drivers, visit Lester Glenn Ford.
Capabilities
While both trucks are undeniably capable, the Ford F-150 can tow and haul more than its competitor. The Chevrolet Silverado 1500 can haul as much as 2,280 lbs and tow up to 13,300 lbs when it has the appropriate equipment. When it's outfitted properly, the 2025 Ford F-150 can haul up to 2,445 lbs and tow as much as 13,500 lbs, giving it a slight edge.
Technology Features
Although they're made to be workhorses, new Ford trucks are also outfitted to be digital hotbeds to assist on the job. The Ford F-150 and the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 have some tech features in common, including Wi-Fi® hotspot capabilities, Bluetooth® integration, and wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ connectivity.
Although each truck has an infotainment touchscreen, the unit in the Ford truck measures 12 inches while the one on its rival's dashboard is just 7 inches. A 12-inch digital gauge display is standard for the Ford F-150 beginning with its base model. A similar feature isn't standard for the Chevy Silverado until you reach its third trim, however.
Active Safety Equipment
Both the 2025 Ford F-150 and the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 share some advanced safety and driver-assistive features as well. Each truck has a forward collision warning and intervention system, for example. They both also have a lane departure warning with lane-keeping assist.
The Ford truck offers a few additional safety features that are either absent from or optional for the Chevy pickup. Rear parking sensors and a blind-spot monitor are standard for the 2025 Ford F-150 and optional for its rival. Reverse automatic emergency braking is also standard for the Ford truck, but it's not available for the 2025 Chevrolet Silverado 1500.
