There are a lot of reasons why comparing Ford to similar models from Chevrolet can help you find the right fit, and there are a lot of ways that Ford vehicles come out ahead. Read on for our top three reasons.
Top Three Ways that Ford Craftsmanship Edges Out Chevy Trucks
- Alternative, fuel-efficient engines. Ford has been busy in recent years adding a selection of hybrid and electric-powered models to their lineup, including the new Ford F-150 hybrid option, F-150 Lightning electric truck, and Ford Maverick hybrid. These options give drivers who love pickup style, but who crave a more-efficient powertrain, plenty of options to choose from in various sizes. But the Chevrolet brand doesn't offer any hybrid or EV trucks in its lineup.
- Customizable pickup options. Not only does the Ford lineup give Michigan drivers additional, alternative engine options, but it also has a greater range of choice when it comes to personalizing your ride. Whether you're taking your family to the Whites Beach or Standish Nature Preserve, or you're single and like a compact truck for commutes to the office, there are more choices in the Ford family of trucks than the Chevy lineup. Ford offers their light-duty, easy-to-drive Maverick to start the lineup, followed by the popular Ranger, and then the beloved F-Series. But the Chevy brand doesn't have as many trucks to choose from.
- Power and performance. Drivers in Michigan and beyond can also expect more power from the Ford collection, depending on the style, model, and trim they go for. Looking at the F-150 model compared to the Silverado 1500, for example, will show you that Ford trucks start out with more power at their base version, and continue the trend throughout the lineup with a higher output and greater range of possibilities.
