2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 vs. Its Competition

2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 first drive, Wyoming, August 2018
Kirk Bell Kirk Bell Senior Editor

The Silverado faces stiff competition from Ford and a new Ram 1500.

The Ram offers luxury-car levels of interior quality and a strong V-8, but it doesn’t have the bed utility of the Chevy.

The Ford F-150 has a controversial aluminum bed, a trim level for every taste, and a cool off-roader in the Raptor.

Japan gets in on the traditionally American act with the Nissan Titan and Toyota Tundra.

The Nissan is much newer and drives better, while the Tundra offers Toyota reliability but hasn’t moved the needle in years and is falling behind in fuel economy.

Chevy also faces competition from its sister vehicle, the GMC Sierra, which is also new this year and promises more luxury.

Quick Specs
5.6
The 2019 Chevrolet Silverado is more refined and useful for cargo, though it isn’t as polished inside as the new Ram 1500.
6.5
The 2019 Ford F-150 hangs on to its best-selling truck title with a bevy of powertrains, thousands of build possibilities, and a seemingly endless reserve of truck bona fides.
5.6
The 2019 GMC Sierra steers out of the max-tow race; instead, it puts its marker down on smart and easy-to-use technology.
4.5
The 2019 Nissan Titan is out of step with far more advanced rivals that don’t cost much more.
5.0
The 2019 Toyota Tundra has its virtues, but it’s a dated pickup truck ripe for redesign.
