*CORRECTION:* Ford's 3.5L EcoBoost specs are actually 400 Hp and 500 Lb-ft for 2021, when I filmed this I was reading an older Ford technical spec sheet, my mistake! And the towing and payload are 13,100lbs* and 2,300 lbs respectively. *This does not change the outcome of the video though, Chevy is still ahead in Horsepower and Towing while Ford leads in Torque and Payload!*
Also should be noted the term “max payload” is pretty meaningless.. this takes into account a very certain configuration with zero options.. a better comparison would have been to look at the actual payload sticker on the inside door panel of the two trucks.
I was as chevy guy then when it was time to buy I drove all 3 brands and Ford won easily. Now drive an F150. Just shows you should be open minded when shopping.
I personally like the F-150s front better because I like the design of the headlights. While the Silverado’s does look more aggressive I’m not a fan of the bow tie like design. And I do like the F150s bed features and interior better. Although I cannot wait for GM to release their 2022 interiors.
That is the problem. gm (God's mistake) always tries to make their truck look tough. Like the nerd kid trying to fit in. They try to hard. Maybe they should make a good truck?
Always been a. GMC guy. But with their quality control as of late we went with the F150 3.5 eco boost. Pull a 6k travel trailer all day long and a really nice ride to boot. Not to mention the tech in Lariat is awesome. By the way all almost all your numbers on the ford are wrong. It actually beats the Chev almost everywhere.
Ford is better really in every category. I still choose Chevy though. I like the column shifter and auto 4x4 and it’s just more old school and simplistic. I like the seating position and exterior styling is more appealing. Also several thousand less. I’ve had a few F150s. I liked them but Chevy is like that comfy boot that fits just right.
F150's with the 3.5L now have 400hp and 500 ft-lbs of torque and can tow (up-to) 14,000 lbs. You mentioned the F150 is super smooth and "car-like" but you didn't tell everyone how quiet it is. It's the quietest and smoothest truck on the market. Some testers are reporting 61db's, that's amazingly quiet. I've honestly never heard anyone say they actually wanted a rough and noisy ride from a $60k truck but whatever. There are only two faults I see with the F150, one is the "average" fuel mileage isn't great, for a little V-6 it can really burn fuel if you drive it even the least bit hard, and the other fault is the sticker price. New trucks are way overpriced IMHO. js
I think the reason the sticker is higher on this video ( and he forgot to mention or maybe check) is the interior trim is the HIGH pkg. which is what gives it the heated gadgets and the real nice running lights he mentions. Mid and entry pkg. don't have these. Canadian value on option I think is about 6K.
i find it amazing chevy is cheaper at this point, they are usually expensive with less power etc. its like coke and pepsi, coke (ford) was first, and they are innovative, and everyone copies them, but sometimes pepsi (chevy) out performs. Overall i love both. but ima edge out on ford, anytime chevy inches ahead, ford comes back n blows it outta the water.
2021 Silverado featuring an exclusive dated "throwback styled" interior that makes you feel like it's still 2013! GM interior is the absolute worse, imagine paying for one of the 70k optioned trucks and the inside is still garbage. 😂😂😂
i have to wonder if the fold down shifter is the realization that silverado column shifter makes more space sense. column shifters on trucks create a neccessary open space that is a premium in the drivers seat.
You don't have to get the fold down shifter in the Ford. Or the counsel mounted shifter at all. Ford still has the column shifter available. You cheby guys just don't know trucks because you are so blinded by gm crap.
@@chris1451 I’m a truck fan no matter who makes it just wish Toyota made the columns shifter . Was referring to the extra space more than anything negative about Ford .
@@TheCarCrazyGuy and the mfer will still run and drive, gm trucks needing a motor. Ford also has a recall for the cam phasers while gm has a lawsuit about lifters.
I have owned 11 f150s, 2 Chevy pickups, in other words 2 times I was a dummy and bought gm junk. Current f150 is 11 years old, bought new, never 1 single break down. Also had 2 dodges, 1 was junk.
@@xxsilver_gamingxx389 currently have 2010 fx4, bought new, nearly 200,000 miles, not a single break down, it is my work truck for landscaping. Also have a 2017 f150, 6 inch lift, coyote engine, 22 wheels, mainly a weekend show truck.
Both have too many non-essential features which make them cost way more than they are worth to the average person. I'm more concerned with reliability and durability than features and styling. All the bells and whistles are nice, but at the end of the day, what really matters is getting from point A to point B cheaply and reliably.
@@xxsilver_gamingxx389 Yeah, that is what everyone thinks. It isn't true. Not at all. Not to mention the japanese companies being passive aggressive. They build auto plants in America in right to work states, while American car companies are forced to be union. That gives japanese companies a large dollar advantage. Then the profits go back to japan. How is that fair or right? I am so tired of the paradigm that japanese cars are better. It is so inaccurate. Statistically, most manufacturers cars are very reliable. Your argument is a tired old argument.
@@chris1451 I guess I never thought of this, but I think most cars can last a while if you really take care of it although Japanese brands are known for reliability and I do see a large amount of them on the road old and new actually
I always think the Fords look less boyish and more sophisticated but thats just me. I like the softer look rather than the bold cartoonish front of the chevy. Just like I like the new accord much better than the toyota camry, one is overstyled IMHO
Ford engineered the 10 speed for longitudinal mount while GM engineered the 9 speed for the transverse mount and they shared the pattent as I've read .
In all honesty I LOVED my 2016 f150 with the 2.7 but it was in the shop 4 times with transmission issues and ford would not help me even though I was 20k under my mileage warranty but 3 months out of years so I went to GM and got a 6.2 high country with the performance pack and LOVE this truck it just feels good to drive a real truck again and it not sound like a weed Wacker when I get on it Don't get me wrong I do love ford products but the fact they shit on me made me start to look elsewhere N
It does come down to taste. For me it came down to price, which pushed me to used. I’ve owned both brands and enjoyed them both. The one thing about the Ford is that on the outside it has not really changed since 2008. I knowiknkwiknow! It’s aluminum now, but look at them side by side and you’ll see what I’m talking about. That’s a long time for just refreshes… It’s your money, get what YOU want. The ending-🤣
The 2121 is a totally new truck. It still looks "the same" for brand identity more than anything. A new look doesn't make a truck better. The chevy is just ugly. They are trying to hard.
Dean Ainsworth why has Ford kept the boring round wheel openings on fenders for such a long time? Ford should change that. I prefer the Ford f-150 though.
The comparison I want to see is the XLT 2.7 ecoboost vs RST 3.0 duramax. I know it's kind of apples and oranges, but these are the two engines I'm cross shopping and they are quite comparabl, in my opinion.
Both are amazing trucks, drove them both as I was test driving. I took the 2021 chevy silverado z71 rst crew cab with standard size bed. If y'all like Ford, go for it, if y'all like chevy go for it ad well and it's all about the preferences. The only reason why I don't like Ford is that you have to change the gear on the floor instead of behind the steering wheel and I know it's optional, that's just me.
Loved the ending, love the humor in your videos, also admire you making your faith part of your videos without thinking of how it may impact "views". Keep up the good work, hope to see you on a larger platform one day. Anyone ever said you remind them of a young Ryan Renolds? Stay safe and keep on the less traveled road.
I’ve owned both and honestly the 2021 F150 is just a flat out better truck. It’s better thought out in the interior, it feels more solidly built, it’s way more comfortable, and there’s no way you’re ever going to sell me a junk 8 speed from GM.
Have you owned 2021's or just both Silverado's and F-150's over the years? And the Silverado IS paired to a 10-speed automatic transmission, co-developed by both Ford and Chevy...
@@AlphaShark I owned a 2018 Silverado and then a 2019 Silverado because my 2018 the seats were SO uncomfortable. The 2019 I had was the 5.3 with the 8 speed and it was just a letdown of a truck. I recently bought a 2021 F150 and haven’t been this excited about a truck since my 2016 f150 I had. I’ve owned 5 GM trucks and my favorite was my 2004 but I’ve loved both F150’s I’ve had. I had a 2011 6.2 and just never got the wow factor from it, got tired of running 93 octane in it too.
@@robertfootball1 Congrats on your new truck! I hope it lasts you a long time and serves you well! Yeah the earlier GM trucks seem to have been much better from what I've heard.
@@AlphaShark Yeah... co-developed with Ford as the lead engineering partner. Mustang camaro F-150 and c1500 use that 10 speed. How about mentioning the 9 speed fwd transmission they were in collaboration with that gm was the lead engineering partner? Ford won't use that transmission.
I take the f-150 if it’s my money . I work with several guy that have had to replace the 5.3 and 6.0 and 6.2 on the Chevy because of the cylinder de activation. The lifters end up getting stuck I’m afraid for will have the same problem with the new 5.0 coyote that has cylinder de activation. I even have one co worker that had the same problem with his dodge 5.7 with a lifter that required to rebuild the top end .
I prefer the look of the Chevy, the Ford looks very bland to me although this bright blue color on this one helps a little. I do like the Ford interior, engines are both good power wise.
I used to work at a Ford dealer selling Fords mostly F-150s. I have a 2019 and love it. I’m now working for a Chevy Buick GMC dealer and this is going to be my biggest hurdle is selling trucks I know I don’t like 🤣. Fords truly are better trucks there is no doubt BUT you pay for it as well with them being the most expensive so there’s give and take. I do love the torque and the 17mpg I get compared to the other trucks
Smaller engine + turbocharged vs. naturally aspirated V8? It seems pretty logical which engine is actually going to last longer under heavy use... but I could totally be wrong
Chevy doesn't have crap my hybrid F150 has more power and better fuel economy with a better ride and more useful technology. Most of all its not so damn ugly!!!
No vehicle is built well nowadays. I'm generally a Ford guy but I've driven Ford Dodge and Chevy. Chevy was the only one I didn't care for and was EASILY the worst made but it was also the newest of the Three. I think Quality is more of a year issue more so than Make.
As a european we see trucks different. On the right side you see a truck symbolizing the future and on the left side you see a truck that drives you to retirement home !
RAM/Chrysler just announced the V8 HEMI is leaving, like Toyota a Turbo V6 is on its way. Have absolutely loved my tiny 2.7 Ecoboost since I bought brand new in 2017, not the first problem, quiet, plenty of power and driven easy returns 20.4 mpg calculator checked, the mpg meter is a little optimistic and back then during Trump The Greats reign the economy was booming and no one wanted a lowly STX and I got a great deal. You know to be honest the way I drive I’m sure I’d been just as happy with the Chevy and honestly think it’s a great looking truck, I’m not sure either truck is a bad buy, the Aluminum body doesn’t rust, but bang it up and it’ll cost you.
I’ll take the F-150. However, Ford needs to implement the same bed step access as Chevy. And very soon. I plane on keeping my Ranger for three years. If Ford hasn’t done so by then, I might get the Colorado next time.
Thanks for the great video. I am in the market for a truck, actually, I will wait for NEXT YEAR to get one, so I already started researching A LOT. I heard that the Silverado, having a LEAF rear suspension is not very comfortable, but I cannot confirm that as I never drove one. I am tending more towards the RAM 1500 as I hear that is the very best among the all, except that I DO NOT LIKE the front end...but I hear next year they will change the design... Anyway, if any comparison with the RAM, let me know, I would love to watch it and get your opinion. THANKS A LOT.
I’ll be in the market next yr also I can’t make up my mind between the gmc or ram I really don’t like how the Ford looks looks like an old mans truck to me but I hat the gmc and Chevys interior which they are redesigning this yr coming back from a deployment next yr can’t wait to drop that cash in a new truck lol
I've heard a lot of people claiming there is a rust issue with F150's, does it apply to the older F150's only? I'm in UT where we salt the roads in winter and my 2020 F150 is still relatively rust free underneath, only tiny little bit of surface rust here and there, like you'd expect to see under ANY vehicle, but even then, it was barely any at all. I was laying underneath it for 45 min a couple nights ago replacing the horrible felt splash guard with a real skid plate, so I had plenty of time to inspect it, and everything looks pretty pristine under there.
Regular gas here in Canada is $1.40/L Premium is $1.60/L And price is going nothing but up. Fuel economy in my experience is about the same....except the 6.2L I owned absolutely needed premium. Both pulled my 7k trailer well. My Ecobooosts have been extremely reliable(200k kms on 2 trucks) My 6.2L Silverado was a POS nightmare. I've flipped between Ford and Chev last 4 trucks but am going with another F150(ordered). The last Silverado was such a bad experience,refuse to run just premium too.
@@kuldeepaulakh4886 - But that's what the BC tree huggers want, isn't it! Gas that is too expensive to afford so you are being forced to look at alternative ways to get a round.
I have the 3.5 in my f150. compared to my 5-liter V8 in previous F150s I appreciate the gas mileage and really do not miss the coyote motor. I can tow more with this truck. RAM LOL.
I was hell bent on a new gmc/ Chevy 1500 product. It was Chevy or nothing but…….. 1: wanted the Duramax but their 100-150k oil pump belt replacement (40+ hrs labor) scares me even if I sell it before then… resale 2: transmission. Felt all the engines were hunting for gears. Didn’t drive the 6.2. But If I have to use premium I’m going to get a diesel. 3. Comfort and tech. No comparison Out of anger I went by the ford dealer next door. Went with a f150 lariat. Just the second you sit in one it feels like you went up a level. more features then gmc comps. comfortable seat, huge screen, insanely smooth Trans, comfortable ride, felt light and nimble…. Anyway both great trucks but I’m a convert now. All I will say is drive both. 1: even in 23 supply was limited at the three dealers in the area🎉
All of the F150's that have the center console shifter come from the factory with the folding shifter but you need to separately opt for the center console work surface
The question you should ask is which one will be still up n running 20 years from now n still putting that performance in the long run, moreover, which one is more reliable within the years…. And the real answer is Chevy… till this day we see early 80s, 90s n 2000s Chevy’s out there on the road still hauling ass compared to ford
Haha yeah but 80’s, 90’s and 00’s Chevys had far less technology, and different transmissions and engines assembled by different people. Honestly recently Chevy has had a worse track record than Ford with their transmissions stalling out at really low mileages.
Well interior of new ram just kills the competition, agresive exterior looks of gmc trucks are amazing and spec of ford is unbeatable so would be nice to have a outsider joining the pack combining all into one❤😊
