The only rivalry stronger and older than Chevy vs.
Ford would be the Hatfields vs.
McCoys.
They both have their loyalists and critics, good points and MyFord Touch points.
In the end, what we can say when it comes to comparing the Silverado 1500 and Ford F-150 is that neither truck does much to sway the other camp.
Ford's aluminum body F-150 could tempt some to defect from Chevy, or vice versa, but it's still too early to tell.
In third, the Ram 1500 has an available diesel powertrain that we like very much, but its interior is a few years behind.
Toyota and Nissan are around to tempt buyers with their name and warranties, respectively, but are distant competitors for now.
The GMC Sierra 1500 is nearly mechanically identical to the Silverado 1500, so they're usually not rivals for the same buyer.
