Compare the Chevy Silverado 1500 to the Competition

How does the new Chevy Silverado 1500 compare to the competition?

As one of the premier new Chevy truck dealer serving shoppers from Burlington, VT to Plattsburgh, NY, we get asked questions like these quite a lot. Fortunately, the short answer is that the new Chevy Silverado 1500 stands toe-to-toe with the competition with confidence and even comes out ahead in many key categories of comparison. Feel free to read on to our competitive comparison below to see how the new Chevy Silverado 1500 stands out from the crowd and discover why it may just be the perfect pickup truck for you.

Chevy Silverado 1500 vs. Ford F-150

Performance

The Chevy Silverado 1500 and Ford F-150 stand on roughly even footing when it comes to performance, since both allow you to tow over 13,000 pounds when properly equipped. That's more than enough for most travel trailers and boats, giving you ample opportunity to get out and enjoy your time on the lake or at your favorite campgrounds around the state. Of course, the new Chevy Silverado 1500 does offer more standard torque than its Ford rival, so keep that in mind when making your purchase or lease decision.

Design

Style is subjective, but there's no denying the utility of design innovations in the new Chevy Silverado 1500 like its innovative Durabed design. With more cargo volume than the similarly equipped new Ford F-150, the Durabed on the new Chevy Silverado 1500 makes it easy to haul larger loads with ease.

Technology

Both the new Chevy Silverado 1500 and Ford F-150 are on roughly even footing on the tech front, offering robust suites of safety technologies onboard and innovative and intuitive infotainment systems that seamlessly pair with most modern smartphones thanks to wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Chevy Silverado 1500 vs. GMC Sierra 1500

Performance

Given that the new Chevy Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 are both GM vehicles at their cores, their performance credentials largely mirror one another. As a result, whether you're tackling tough terrain or towing a heavy trailer, you'll find that both these light-duty trucks are capable traveling companions.

Design

You'll find similar equipment on both the new Chevy Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 due to their shared heritage. However, the GMC Sierra 1500 is a bit more upscale and offers a few more top-end trim options. If you're simply looking for a no-nonsense work truck, the new Chevy Silverado 1500 may be a better fit for you with a more competitive starting price point.

Technology

Many of the technologies onboard the Chevy Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 are similar due to their GM origins. As a result, you can expect seamless connectivity and even innovations like SuperCruise™ onboard both models, which will prove invaluable for long highways drives between Swanton and all points south.

Chevy Silverado 1500 vs. Ram 1500

Performance

The Ram 1500 was once a formidable competitor to the Chevy Silverado 1500, but those days are gone with the introduction of its middling new Hurricane engine lineup. Even in its most powerful form, the new Ram 1500 can only tow up to 11,500 pounds, which pales in comparison to the towing power of the new Chevy Silverado 1500 which tops out at 13,300 pounds.

Design

There's a lot to love about the looks of the new Chevy Silverado 1500, particularly when you opt for its premium High Country trim level. With eye-catching enhanced LED lights up front, and a cabin clad in real wood trim and plush leather upholstery inside, the new Chevy Silverado 1500 outclasses even the highest end trim in the Ram 1500 portfolio.

Technology

Don't forget to bring your charging cord if you want to connect to the infotainment system on the new Ram 1500, as it does not offer the wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity that comes standard for the new Chevy Silverado 1500.
