Discover Three Top Ways that the Ford Pickup Comes Out on Top
At Peach State Ford, we know that you have plenty of options in the Cedartown and Dallas, GA area when it comes to shopping for a versatile and capable pickup truck. But at our Rockmart Highway dealership, we also know that you'd be hard-pressed to find any model that can match our legendary Ford F-150 in strength, power, and utility.
Take the Chevrolet Silverado 1500, for example. Although similar in some ways to our fan favorite Ford F-150 models, it lacks in several key areas.
If you're in the market for a new pickup truck for work or play in the Bremen, GA and Temple, GA, area, we want to help. To make your truck-shopping adventure as easy as possible, we've compared our perennially popular F-150 to the competing Silverado 1500. Contact our team for the latest information on the availability of the F-150 and read on to learn more about the three top ways we've discovered that help our F-150 come out ahead of the Silverado 1500.
Three Areas Where the Ford F-150 Offers More than the Chevy Silverado 1500
While both of these legendary models have been serving drivers in the Rockmart, GA area for decades, and both have a menu of trims, cab styles, and engines that you can choose from to personalize your ride, the F-150 has more to offer. Thanks to our research, we can tell you more.
- Hybrid power. It's no secret that more and more drivers are in search of vehicles that offer fuel efficiency these days, including hybrid and electric alternatives to the traditional gas powertrain. In recent years, Ford has gone above and beyond to present drivers with a selection of efficient and cutting-edge vehicles, including hybrid and electric versions of popular models such as the F-150. But the Chevy Silverado 1500 has not gone in the same diverse direction as the F-150. While both offer a range of engines to choose from, only the F-150 has a fully hybrid alternative, in the form of a turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 system that produces 430 horsepower and 570 pound-feet of torque.
- Standard safety features. Whether you're using your truck as a primary family vehicle for day-to-day drives around town, or it's your work truck that helps you haul heavy tools to the jobsite, there's an added peace of mind in knowing that you're driving a vehicle that's equipped with safety features to protect you. With the Ford F-150, that peace of mind comes standard, thanks to the nice list of advanced driver's aids that come with every model. These standard features include forward collision mitigation, automatic emergency braking, and lane departure warning. None of these safety features are standard with the Chevy Silverado 1500. In fact, to get them on the Chevy you have to order a special, add-on package, which is only available on select trims.
- Utility and strength. Let's face it. One of the biggest reasons why drivers appreciate the pickup truck style of vehicle is its ability to tow and haul heavy objects. You may have a family camper or boat that you want to take with you on the weekends, or you could have a work trailer that's loaded with heavy lawnmowers and tools. Either way, you want a truck that can handle your toughest jobs, and the F-150 is more than up for the job. Depending on how you have it configured and powered, the F-150 can handle up to 14,000 pounds towing. Comparatively, the Chevy Silverado 1500 is less powerful, with a top towing capacity of 11,000 pounds.
