Top Four Reasons to Consider the Chevy Silverado 1500

1. Interior space and comfort. While both trucks have multiple cab style options, including a two-door regular cab with no backseat, a four-door extended cab with smaller backseat, and a four-door crew cab, the Silverado 1500 has more room to stretch out in than the Ford F-150. This is especially true in the front seat of all three cab styles, where you'll find that you get more headroom and more legroom than you get in the competing truck.
2. Cargo area. The bed of the Chevy Silverado 1500 is also more useful and accommodating than the Ford F-150. Both trucks have a menu of options available when it comes to bed length, with which one you get depending on the trim and cab style. But the Silverado 1500 bed is deeper, with higher walls and more tie-downs than the F-150, which makes it more useful for carrying a lot of cargo and bigger loads.
3. Configurable tailgate. It's been a couple of years now since GM first introduced their foldable, customizable tailgate feature, and now it's available across the board as an option on every Chevy Silverado 1500. Called the Multi-Flex tailgate, this unique feature can be configured and serve six different purposes, with a variety of functions to choose from. It makes work easier when you choose the Silverado 1500, and it's completely unique to GM brand trucks, which means you won't find anything like it available with the Ford F-150.
4. Diesel power. Love the clean-burning efficiency and strength of a powerful diesel engine? Consider the Chevy Silverado, which counts a 3.0-liter six-cylinder diesel powertrain among its options. This impressive and capable system can help you tow up to 9,300 pounds and earn a combined highway/city fuel economy EPA rating for 27 mpg. Meanwhile, Ford recently discontinued its 3.0-liter diesel option for the F-150, which means the Silverado 1500 is the way to go when you need the type of power only a diesel engine can offer.
