How Do the Ford F-150 and Chevy Silverado Stack Up to Each Other?

- Ford F-150 — Maximum Payload Capacity: 2,455 pounds
- Chevrolet Silverado 1500 — Maximum Payload Capacity: 2,260 pounds

Engines

Most F-150 trucks come with an EcoBoost® V6 engine that delivers 325 horsepower and you get 400 horsepower with the V8 powertrain.

The Silverado 1500 tops out at 420 horsepower, while a new Ford F-150 can generate up to 720 horsepower through an exclusive supercharged V8 engine.
