An American Matchup 

For decades now, Ford and Chevy have been neck and neck regarding who the superior American manufacturer is. The Ford F-150 and the Chevy Silverado are some of the most popular pickups on the roads, trails, and almost every job site. Their impeccable reliability and power have driven them to great success amongst their competitors and their consumers. 

However, only one of these highly capable pickups can be considered a “Minnesotan choice.” Here at Fury Ford Waconia, we believe the pickup is the 2024 Ford F-150, and our consumers agree. Why do Minnesota drivers choose the 2024 Ford F-150 over the 2024 Chevy Silverado? 

Performance Comparison of the 2024 Ford F-150 and the 2024 Chevy Silverado   

One of the main factors when deciding on a new pickup truck is performance. It would be best if you had a truck capable of getting the job done and doing so efficiently. That truck is the 2024 Ford F-150. The 2024 Ford F-150 has a maximum towing capacity of nearly 14,000 pounds when properly equipped with a trailer package and has a maximum payload of 3,325 pounds. The 2024 Chevy Silverado has a maximum towing capacity of 13,300 pounds and a payload capacity of 2,225 pounds.

The Ford F-150, when properly equipped, is the more robust truck and allows you to bring all your tools and toys wherever you travel.

Ability To Customize  

If there’s one thing we know about Minnesota consumers, it is that they enjoy having the power of choice. One area in which Ford excels over Chevy is their numerous options to customize the truck you need fully. 

The 2024 Ford F-150 offers three-bed lengths that can be paired with any of the three available cab setups and has six unique engine options, including a 3.5L Powerboost Hybrid V6 engine. The list of available engines is as follows:

• 3.3L V6 with 290hp and 265 lb. ft. of torque
• 2.7L Ecoboost V6 with 325hp and 400 lb. ft. of torque
