The New Ford F-150 Vs the Competition
Compare the Ford F-150 Against the Competition at Candy Ford
Here at Candy Ford, you can check out the Ford F-150 here at our dealership in Charlotte, MI serving those in areas like Mason, Eaton Rapids, Grand Ledge, Hastings and Lake Odessa. Out selection offers plenty to choose from, and there are many reasons why a new F-150 should be your truck of choice. The 2026 Ford F-150 continues to set the benchmark in the full-size pickup segment, with its blend of performance, capability, and innovation that gives it an edge over competitors like the 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and 2026 Ram 1500. We're here to highlight those for you and show you why the F-150 is the definitive choice.
Compare Performance and Capability
With more raw power and utility, the Ford F-150 offers best-in-class towing capacity of up to 14,000 pounds, surpassing that of the Silverado 1500's 13,300 pounds or the Ram 1500's 12,750 pounds. Additionally, the F-150 is tops in payload capacity as well with a maximum of 2,455 pounds compared to the Silverado 1500 and its 2,260 pounds, or the Ram 1500 which doesn't have the ability to haul as much. This is why so many count on the F-150 to be their vehicle of choice for any type of job be it for work or personal use and recreation around the area.
Compare Engine Options and Power
The Ford F-150 offers the most diverse powertrain lineup among the three major pickup trucks, including:
- A 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 with up to 400 horsepower
- A 5.0-liter V8 option that also provides 400 horsepower
- A PowerBoost Hybrid V6, which not only improves fuel economy but also doubles as a mobile generator (a feature unique to Ford) and offers 430 horsepower
Drivers will also find that though it is a separate model, the F-150 Lightning is among the options. This is a fully electric variant with up to 536 horsepower and a range of 290 miles, all while offering standout capabilities for towing and hauling, without the use of fuel.
Contrast the F-150 and its engine options against the Chevrolet Silverado 1500, its diesel-powered engine, or the Silverado EV, and you'll find a close comparison, but one that doesn't offer a full range of options that combine efficiency, power, and leading capability. With the Ram 1500, there are V6 and V8 options, and no hybrid or EVs are currently available.
Compare Features and Technology
One of the ways the Ford F-150 is able to stand out is through its features. This includes the available Pro Power Onboard system, a standout feature that allows users to power tools and appliances directly from the truck, making it ideal for job sites or camping. The F-150 also offers BlueCruise, Ford's hands-free driving system, now available even on base trims with a one-time payment option. While the Silverado 1500 counters with Super Cruise, it's limited to higher trims and lacks the same breadth of integration. As a result, those looking for a futuristic truck driving experience can find it in the F-150, offering more options than its rivals.
There's also plenty of technology that allows you to enjoy the experience as the F-150 comes with SYNC 4 infotainment, smartphone integration, a 12-inch touch display and over-the-air updates.
