Shoppers in Westbrook considering a truck have lots of options. But Rowe Ford Westbrook thinks there's one that stands head and shoulders above the competition: the Ford F-150. Today, we line it up against the iconic Chevy Silverado 1500 to see which is best qualified for work and play in the Portland area.

Performance

The Ford F-150 comes ready to work. A twin-turbocharged 2.7-liter V6 producing 325 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque comes standard on every truck. Plus, it has a ten-speed automatic transmission for maximum fuel efficiency and efficient power delivery. Compare that to the Silverado, which has to make do with just 310 horsepower from its tiny four-cylinder engine and an eight-speed gearbox. Furthermore, the new Ford F-150 boasts a towing capacity of 13,500 pounds, compared to the Chevy's 13,300. There's no question which is better suited for going anywhere in the Scarborough, ME, area.

Technology

The Ford F-150 comes packed with tech goodies to keep you focused and on track. A 5G LTE modem and 12-inch touchscreen both come standard. The Silverado gets a 7.0-inch touchscreen but no Wi-Fi, and both trucks offer Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto® compatibility.

Efficiency and Range

The Ford F-150 goes easy on your wallet, achieving an EPA-estimated fuel economy of 25 mpg on the highway. The Silverado, on the other hand, only delivers 22 mpg on the highway. Plus, only the Ford F-150 offers a 36-gallon fuel tank – allowing you to cozy in for the long haul and get wherever the next destination is without stopping for unnecessary fuel-ups. Cover up to 900 miles in optimal conditions when you're cruising in the Ford F-150.
