When we're looking at vehicle reliability, we can't apply the same standards to trucks as we would to passenger vehicles. Although trucks suffer from defects in quality, they're tough and built to do heavy work. Yet there are some models that stand out more than others, such as the 2020 Ford F-150, and to prove it, we will compare it to the full-size 2020 Chevrolet Silverado and determine an overall winner.
The 2020 F-150 is by far the truck of excellence for Canadian and American consumers, and it has proven to be practical and useful for over 50 years on the Quebec and Canadian markets. Your Blainville Ford dealer, located on the North Shore near Laval and St-Jérôme, strongly recommends it because its customers are so satisfied with it and return to it time and time again when upgrading their pickup trucks.
First of all, from an outsider’s point of view, this vehicle looks imposing with its large box that can carry tons of material plus the finishes are meticulous. Therefore, it quickly becomes obvious that this is a high-end vehicle. You'll appreciate the interior of this beautiful model with leather upholstered seats on most F-150 models.
The seating is comfortable, right down to the rear bench, which sits on the same level as the front seats, plus other innovative features in a spacious, versatile and user-friendly interior.
The F-150’s driving performance allows for exceptional handling, even when carrying a lot of cargo. The pickup is stable and handles corners easily. Most of the engines in the lineup are powerful and responsive, including the 3.5-litre Ecoboost V6 with 450 horsepower and 510 lb-ft of torque. The towing capacity is second to none, as Ford's F-150 can tow up to 5,987 kg or 13,200 pounds, which is more than enough on construction sites. In 2020, the big blue oval is offering the Ford Co-Pilot 360 and a new trim package for the XL, SLT and Lariat models, with many features including the ingenious 4G LTE, USB, Bluetooth and integrated Wi-Fi.
While General Motors' 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is loaded with innovative features and functionalities, and even though this full-size truck is in high demand, the F-150 is at the top of the list with over 150,000 units sold on the market, compared to just 115,000 for the Silverado and the GMC Sierra combined. When it comes to comfort, the Silverado is comfortable and well-rated ahead of other trucks in the same segment, except that the F-150, with its new styling packages, tops its rival at the finish line.
The 2020 Silverado 1500 has excellent handling, but its engines are significantly less powerful and varied compared to those of the F-150. Even with the 6.2-litre V8 that produces 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque, the latter can't outperform the F-150 with its Ecoboost engine. The same can be said for towing capacity, where the long-wheelbase Multi-Passenger model can tow up to 5,443 kg or 12,000 pounds, a difference of 1,200 pounds in favour of the F-150. In 2020, Chevrolet developed a new diesel engine for its Silverado RST with Adaptive Cruise Control and Towing Assist. These features were already present in the 2020 Ford F-150 long before Chevrolet and General Motors implemented the concept.
In short, whether you're working or spending time with your family, you'll be more comfortable at the wheel of the new 2020 Ford F-150 than in many other trucks of the same style. The comparison we've just made shows that the American manufacturer Ford takes ingenuity a step farther than the competition, and indicates that the 2020 Ford F-150 easily wins the match-up.
Just like the 2020 Ford F-150, Blainville Ford on the North Shore of Montreal, near Laval, Mirabel and Saint-Jérôme, offers an exceptional experience thanks to a team of veteran advisors and technicians. When we say that Blainville Ford is solid from start to finish, we mean that the dealership’s dynamic enthusiasm is contagious, driving us to develop a partnership with a manufacturer that has built a solid reputation over many years.
