The age old battle in America has been Chevy versus Ford. While it is a battle that is likely to rage on and on for years to come, hopefully it is a friendly feud. The Dodge trucks available at Dodge Chrysler Fort Worth have typically been in their own class and don’t get sucked into the American rivalry quite as much; yet! Plus, think of how many advancements have come about in the auto industry due to fierce competition. America is a nation of truck drivers and VW Dealer lots have dominance when it comes to sporty cars, but not the truck market. It is likely that Bradenton used cars employees are well familiar with both of these models; the Ford F-150 and the Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The first-place prize is likely to continue to be passed back and forth between the two, but let’s take a look at who wins for 2010!
The F-150 gets 15 mpg city and 19 mpg highway, and the base MSRP is $21,820. However, it can range up to $46,500, so there are a lot of options available on the Ford model. It gets praised from U.S. News for its towing capacity, comfortable and roomy interior, and the technological innovations found on the exterior of the truck. Ford missed the mark though because the competition offers larger engines, while the F-150 comes with a 4.6 liter engine and there are seven trim levels consumers can choose from.
The Silverado 1500 will give drivers estimated 15 mpg in the city and 20 mpg on the highway. It is a little cheaper and MSRP starts at $20,850 with fully loaded options costing $41,775. U.S. News liked the Silverado for its smooth and comfortable ride, and also that it feels rugged and has capable towing capacity. The truck comes pretty basic and does not offer a lot of the innovative features its competition does. However, it does come with a much larger 6.2 liter engine that is new since 2009.
