2018 Chevy Silverado vs. Ford F-150 Comparison
Silverado High Country vs. F-150 Limited
The new 2018 Chevrolet Silverado is at the top of its class, earning straight As across the board. But how does it compare with the new Ford F-150, a rival that’s worthy of its regular accolades?
For 2018, Chevy built the Silverado to accommodate the needs of everyone, offering seven trims in all. At the top of the range is the Silverado High Country, which goes shoulder-to-shoulder with the F-150 Limited. Here’s how the range-topping Silverado compares to the Limited F-150:
Price: The Silverado High Country is priced well below the F-150 (about $5k, depending on location). You can grab a Silverado from our Post Falls Chevy dealer for less than any local Ford store offers the new F-150.
Power: An available and super-beefy 6.2-liter V8 sits inside the top Silverado, while a smaller 3.5L V6 is seated underneath the F-150’s hood. That puts Chevy’s truck at a 40-horsepower advantage (420 hp vs. 375 hp).
Features: The 2018 Silverado High Country offers a few standard and available features that the top F-150 model doesn’t, including an AUX port, mini overhead console with storage, in-vehicle assistance, stolen vehicle tracking software, mud flaps, and Chevy MyLink.
Most Silverados are available with noteworthy features like:
- StabiliTrak with Trailer Sway Control
- Under-rail LED lamps
- Rear Vision Camera
- Hill Start Assist
- eAssist powertrain (Crew Cab LT and LTZ trims)
- EchoMaster® Trailering Camera System
- Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
- Advanced safety systems, like Low-Speed Forward Automatic Braking, Lane Keep Assist, Lane Departure Warning, and Forward Collision Alert
- Chevy’s exclusive Teen Driver Technology
Over a century in the making, the 2018 Chevrolet Silverado is about as good as it gets. To learn more about the new Silverado, contact our Chevy dealer in Post Falls, ID.
