The 2024 model year has seen major refreshes for two of the most significant consumer trucks on the market, the Ford F-150 and the Chevy Silverado 1500. These two light-duty pickups have been battling head-to-head for decades, and they've been doing a fantastic job of evolving the segment and pushing forward with new technologies and ways to make trucking easier, more convenient, and more utility-rich.
For the latest model years, both the Chevy Silverado 1500 and Ford F-150 continue to push the boundaries on their capabilities—and anyone looking for an amazing truck will find that both offer some great features no matter which trim you go with when comparing the 2024 Chevy Silverado 1500 vs 2024 Ford F-150. Nevertheless, the Silverado 1500 bests the F-150 in a few key areas that truck shoppers will absolutely appreciate.
When it comes to new features, the 2024 F-150 is refreshed with some slight exterior changes to the grille, lighting array, and wheel designs. Additionally, the powertrain lineup has been slightly altered for the 2024 model year, with the 3.3-liter V6 removed altogether, which means the 2.7-liter turbocharged EcoBoost V6 is now the standard base powertrain. The 2024 F-150 is available in eight trims—the XL, STX, XLT, Lariat, King Ranch, Platinum, Tremor, and Raptor—and new tech updates have been made more widely available across these levels, with a heads-up display, larger touchscreen, and BlueCruise hands-free driving technology.
The 2024 Chevy Silverado 1500 comes with lots of new and exciting updates and features. The 2.7-liter TurboMax I-4 is now the standard base powertrain, while the 3.0-liter Duramax Turbo-Diesel I-6 is now available for the ZR2 trim. Two new exterior colors have been added, along with the availability of the Midnight Edition for the High Country; the Blackout Appearance Package is more widely available across the trims, as are tech features like Adaptive Cruise Control (now standard on the High Country) and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto (now standard on the base trim). You can get the Silverado 1500 in one of nine trims: the WT, Custom, Custom Trail Boss, LT, LT Trail Boss, RST, LTZ, High Country, and the off-road-oriented ZR2.
One of the more recent features to become standard across Chevy's lineup is the Buckle-to-Drive feature, an extremely well-designed effort to help young and teen drivers remember to buckle up before leaving the driveway. The inclusion of Buckle-to-Drive as a standard feature coincides with the Silverado 1500's other standard safety features, most notably Teen Driver mode.
Teen Driver has become a staple across Chevy's nameplates, and it represents a perfect combination of tech and forward-thinking safety measures for young drivers getting behind the wheel. Teen Driver provides report cards for how well your teen drove, as well as safety cues for maintaining proper discipline and safety habits before venturing out on the road. This ties in nicely with other great aids and warnings as part of Chevy Safety Assist, including front pedestrian braking, lane-keeping assistance, lane departure warnings, forward collision alerts, and a following distance indicator.
The 2024 Ford F-150 has some great safety features as well, but it comes up short in comparison to the Silverado 1500 as it lacks features comparable to Buckle-to-Drive and Teen Driver mode. The F-150 nevertheless has some great driver aids that come standard or are available with the Ford Co-Pilot360 suite, which includes interaction assist, a rearview camera with dynamic hitch assist, and BLIS, the blind spot information system with cross-traffic alerts.
You also have the SOS Post-Crash Alert System, which is similar to the OnStar Connected Services offered on the Silverado 1500, along with Curve Control for responsive handling and stability, which works in conjunction with AdvanceTrac, Ford's alternative to Chevy's StabiliTrak. While both trucks share similar safety features, the added tools on every Silverado 1500 (such as Buckle-to-Drive and Teen Driver mode) make it a cut above the competition.
Full-size pickup trucks need to be able to handle their challenges—everything from towing and hauling to hitching trailers and working as a mobile power station. Both the 2024 Silverado 1500 and 2024 F-150 are more than capable regarding basic utility, but there are a few key areas where the Silverado 1500 shines much brighter than its rival.
When it comes to your payload bed, the Silverado 1500 offers more total cargo volume than the F-150. The F-150 is available in three different bed box sizes, including a five-foot, five-inch short bed, a standard six-foot, five-inch bed, and a long eight-foot bed. The F-150's maximum cargo volume tops out at 77.4 cu.ft. of space; this is impressive and offers significant room for storing and hauling cargo in the truck's rear.
On the other hand, the Silverado 1500 offers more cargo volume and more space in its bed options. You can get the Silverado 1500 in three different bed configurations, including a five-foot, eight-inch short bed, a six-foot, six-inch standard bed, and an eight-foot, two-inch long bed. Each of the Silverado 1500's bed sizes offers more cargo volume than the F-150, with the long bed in particular offering up to 89.1 cu.ft. of total cargo volume of space for storage, which is approximately 13% more space than the F-150. So you can store longer and larger items in the Silverado 1500 compared to the F-150, which is great for haulers.
The Silverado 1500 also outdoes the F-150 in another key area: its tailgate. The F-150 comes with Ford's all-new utilitarian Pro Access tailgate, which boasts multiple angles of side-opening for access to the bed without lowering the tailgate; you have up to 100 degrees of opening so you can swing the tailgate out and step into the cargo box. You also have a bumper-step to conveniently get in and out of the bed.
While the Pro Access tailgate is a nifty utility device, the Silverado 1500's Multi-Flex tailgate offers so much more functionality, including six different positions and multiple ways to get into and out of the cargo box; this includes multi-level load stop positions for when you have cargo that extends beyond the cargo box, as well as the ability to use the inner tailgate as a step-ladder into the bed. You can even use the inner gate as a raised surface or use the tailgate itself as a workbench.
The comprehensive functionality of the Multi-Flex tailgate gives it almost innumerable uses, accessibility, and work-site reliability for all sorts of tasks, gatherings, or even recreational events, which makes it a lot more effective than the F-150’s offerings.
The tech advancements for the Silverado 1500 and F-150 have never ceased to amaze potential truck shoppers. These trucks constantly edge forward with new ways to make it easier for you to access vehicle health, connect to support services for navigation, and access your favorite media through apps and smart device integration. The F-150 has received a slight buff for the 2024 model year in the form of an improved infotainment display and new heads-up information, but it still doesn't quite compare to what you get with the 2024 Silverado 1500.
For instance, the F-150 has an all-new 12.0-inch HD touchscreen interface powered by the Ford SYNC 4 suite, offering you media access, app access, and smartphone integration via wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as well as Bluetooth wireless support and Wi-Fi connectivity for multiple devices. The Chevy Silverado 1500 also offers Bluetooth wireless connectivity, Wi-Fi hotspot support, and standard integration of wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto across the entire trim lineup.
Where the Silverado 1500 levels up over the F-150 is with its 13.4-inch HD touchscreen with the Google Built-In suite featuring voice-activated navigation, Amazon Alexa support, and the OnStar Connect Services. While the F-150 has the FordPass mobile app and the Co-Pilot360 driver assistance suite to rival OnStar, you get a larger and clearer touchscreen on the Silverado 1500, along with the available heads-up display on select trims—so it's basically everything the F-150 has, but more.
Another big tech advantage that the Silverado 1500 has over the F-150 is the semi-autonomous hands-free driving technology. Yes, Ford has been pushing the promotion of the BlueCruise hands-free suite for the 2024 F-150, but it doesn't quite measure up to the capabilities of the Silverado 1500's Super Cruise feature. With BlueCruise, you have access to 150,000 miles of hands-free roadways across North America, which includes Canada. With Super Cruise, you have access to more than 400,000 miles of compatible roads across North America and Canada, along with OnStar travel support.
While both the Silverado 1500 and F-150 also have driver assistance features enabled with their hands-free systems, such as lane-change assist, you also get Super Cruise trailering support with the Silverado 1500. So not only can you relax while letting the vehicle do most of the heavy lifting for you, but you can also do so while trailering and across more roads and highways than the F-150. This gives the 2024 Chevy Silverado 1500 a serious tech advantage over the 2024 Ford F-150.
