The Ford F-150 Lightning Goes Head-to-Head with the Chevy Silverado EV at Ciocca Ford of Flemington
Choosing your next pickup truck doesn't have to mean settling for a model that relies on the rising gas prices to keep you going. Thanks to the electrified vehicle explosion over the past couple of years, it's a new world - even pickup trucks haven't missed their chance to revolutionize the way you drive. Models like the Ford F-150 Lightning combine the power of the F-150 lineup with an efficient electric performance, providing you with a unique mix for your next work assignment or home project. Innovations and built-in tech make the Ford F-150 Lightning truly one of a kind.
However, the F-150 Lightning isn't the only model to explore the potential of an EV. The Chevy Silverado EV offers its only assortment of features and amenities, making it tough to choose the right pickup truck. Consider our comparisons below, where we detail the benefits of the Ford F-150 Lightning and why you'll want to schedule a test drive today!
Ford F-150 Lightning vs. Chevy Silverado EV
When you consider a pickup truck as your next vehicle, you most likely want to use it to handle your daily workload. Thankfully, both electric trucks won't disappoint. Each model can tow a maximum of 10,000 pounds, but the base models will differ. The Chevy Silverado EV can only manage a towing capacity of 8,000 pounds, while the Ford F-150 Lightning keeps a baseline of 10,000 pounds. The Ford EV can also handle up to 2,000 pounds in its cargo bed, 800 pounds more than the Chevy Silverado EV is rated to haul.
Why not consider an option that improves the towing experience? The Ford F-150 Lightning has you covered, thanks to its many towing technology options. Features like the Pro Trailer Hitch Assist, which improves the trailer connect process, Onboard Scales, Pro Trailer Backup Assist, which helps guide your trailer into its designated spot, and Trailer Reverse Guidance allow you to tow confidently. While the Silverado EV allows for heavy-duty towing, you won't find the same features in its lineup.
Speaking of features, the Ford F-150 Lightning isn't just a work truck - it's an all-around exceptional model designed to make your life easier. The Mega Power Frunk, a front trunk feature, is only possible without a gas-powered engine. The Mega Power Frunk employs four Pro Power Onboard 120V outlets for up to 2.4-kW of exportable power - you can keep working at the site for as long as you have a charge in your truck's battery. The Chevy Silverado EV lacks a gas-powered engine, too, but you won't find the same functionality available to the Ford F-150 Lightning. With up to 14.1 cubic feet of cargo space and the ability to handle 400 pounds of payload capacity, your F-150 Lightning is ready for anything.
Keeping your truck going comes down to your available battery options. The Chevy Silverado EV only offers one rechargeable battery, while the Ford F-150 Lightning features two options. The Standard Range battery gives you an estimated range of 230 miles, while the Extended Range battery improves the range to 300 miles.
What about convenience? The Ford F-150 Lightning has a few options we think you'll love. The lineup features the new SYNC® 4 standard infotainment system, complete with a 12-inch touchscreen, or the available SYNC® 4A system with a 15.5-inch touchscreen. Amenities range from leather-trimmed, heated, and ventilated front seats to advantages like the Interior Work Surface, the Ford Co-Pilot360™ Active 2.0 safety system, or multi-contour front seats with Active Motion® settings. The Chevy Silverado EV will have similar features, but you won't find a similar setup to the F-150 Lightning lineup. Your new pickup truck should add to your day, and the Ford EV pickup is more than ready for your next adventure.
