If you’re on the hunt for a pickup truck that’s both worksite- and weekend-ready, you’re in the right place! Both the 2022 Chevy Silverado 1500 and the 2022 Ford F-150 provide a powerful performance, remarkable towing and hauling capabilities, and advanced technology.

Both the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and the Ford F-150 offer a wide variety of impressive powertrain options. Standardly, the 2022 Silverado 1500 is powered by a 2.7L Turbo engine with 348 lb-ft of torque. However, this engine can be swapped out for several impressive powertrains, including an available Duramax® 3.0L Turbo-Diesel engine.
This engine provides the best of both worlds with an impressive 460 lb-ft of torque and EPA-estimated 23 city/33 highway MPG on 2WD models. This results in over 700 miles of uninterrupted highway driving.
Unfortunately, the Ford F-150 can’t quite live up to these specs. The F-150 offers six engines in its powertrain lineup, but its standard engine doesn’t quite match the expectations set by the Silverado 1500’s standard engine. With its base equipment, the F-150 boasts just 265 lb-ft of torque. Plus, its diesel engine is only capable of an EPA-estimated 20 city/27 highway MPG.
As competitively capable pickup trucks, both the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and the Ford F-150 boast impressive towing capabilities.
When properly equipped, both models have the capability of towing over 13,000 pounds of trailer weight. On top of that, you’ll also be able to haul over 2,000 pounds of payload weight when the vehicles are properly equipped.
However, without any extra equipment, the Silverado 1500 is still capable of towing up to a whopping 9,500 pounds of trailer weight. Unfortunately, the F-150 can only handle 5,000 pounds of trailer weight with its standard equipment. You also won’t get quite as many helpful trailering features that you get in the Silverado 1500.
Both trucks offer similar infotainment systems. The Silverado 1500 comes with the Chevrolet Infotainment System equipped with a large touchscreen display, Bluetooth®, and smartphone app integration via Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™.
These intuitive trucks don’t stop there, though. You can also opt for helpful turn-by-turn navigation and a built-in 4G LTE Wi-Fi® hotspot that your passengers can use to surf and stream right from the comfort of your vehicle in both models.
In the Silverado, there is a segment-first available Advanced Trailering System with an in-vehicle trailering app. It comes with innovative features that are largely unavailable in the Ford, such as:
- Trailer Theft Alert
- Trailer tire pressure/temperature monitoring
- Pre-departure checklists
- Trailer lighting diagnostics
As you’ve learned, the 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 takes the cake when it comes to potent performance, standard towing power, high-tech trailering equipment, and advanced technology.
