Keep reading as our Monument Chevrolet team in Pasadena, Texas, highlights these two models’ key similarities and differences to help you decide which is best for you.
2024 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 vs. Ford F-150: Engine Performance
Let’s start by looking at the available engines for both trucks. The 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 has several engines to choose from. Your options include a turbocharged four-cylinder, two V-8s, or a Duramax 3.0-liter Turbo-Diesel inline six.

For more torque, check out the inline-six Duramax, which has 495 lb-ft of torque. With so many engine options available for the 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, you’re sure to find one that fits your needs.
