Which Truck Packs More Punch? F-150 vs Silverado 1500
When it comes to raw power, the 2026 Ford F-150 offers a more diverse and potent engine lineup than the Silverado. Ford's range starts strong with the 2.7L EcoBoost V6 (325 hp / 400 lb-ft) and culminates in the beastly 5.2L Supercharged V8, pushing a massive 720 hp and 640 lb-ft of torque. If you're looking for the future of towing, the 3.5L PowerBoost Full Hybrid delivers an incredible 578 lb-ft of torque, along with the game-changing 7.2 kW Pro Power Onboard system. While the Silverado 1500 remains a solid contender with its 6.2L V8 and Duramax Diesel, it can't quite match the F-150's peak horsepower or the versatility of its onboard generator.

- Max Torque: Ford with 640 lb-ft (5.2L V8)

Ford F-150 vs Chevy Silverado: Interior Space & Features
The 2026 Ford F-150 cabin is more than a seat—it's a mobile office. While the Silverado 1500 offers a functional interior, it lacks the clever "work-from-the-road" features that define the F-150. With an available stowable shifter that folds flat to create a large Interior Work Surface, you can easily use a laptop or sign documents right from the driver's seat. Coupled with Max Recline Seats for those much-needed breaks between jobs, the F-150 is designed for the person who lives out of their truck. See how these smart solutions can upgrade your workday at Mt. Orab Ford.
- Sound: Ford 14-speaker | Chevy 7-speaker

Advanced Safety Features: 2026 Ford F-150 vs 2026 Chevy Silverado 1500
Safety isn't an "upgrade" on the 2026 Ford F-150—it's the standard. Every F-150 comes equipped with Ford Co-Pilot360 2.0, a suite that includes critical features like Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) with Cross-Traffic Alert and Reverse Brake Assist—tools that often cost extra on the Silverado 1500. While Chevy's Safety Assist is a strong foundation, Ford goes further with standard Post-Collision Braking to help prevent secondary impacts. Whether you're navigating Cincinnati traffic or backing up a trailer in Mt. Orab, the F-150 is designed to see what you might miss.
- Collision Braking: Ford standard | Chevy N/A
- Blind Spot: Ford standard | Chevy optional
