Full-size pickup trucks are versatile vehicles carrying plenty of cargo and accommodating up to six adults. There’s plenty of choice in the market, with renowned American names competing against foreign automakers. Two American contenders are the 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and the 2023 Ford F-150. You'd be surprised by how they've gotten comfortable and luxurious.
The 2023 Silverado 1500 is based on 2019's fourth generation that was refreshed in 2022. It goes head to head with the 2023 F-150, based on 2021's 14th generation of Ford's legendary F-Series. It will be interesting to find out which one is ahead in the best full-size pickup truck race. Let’s do a Silverado 1500 vs. F-150 comparison in terms of interior, performance, and safety features.

In their largest Double Cab configurations, the 2023 Silverado 1500 and the 2023 F-150 can carry up to six adults. You can choose workmanlike base trims or luxurious family-friendly passenger cabin environments sporting wood trim and leather seats. However, the 2023 Silverado 1500 seems to have the edge on build quality, according to reviewers.
The 2023 Silverado 1500 also offers a larger 13.4-inch touch screen than the 2023 F-150, which maxes out at 12 inches. Regardless of trim level, both full-size pickup trucks come with standard Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, which is essential in the current era. They also have automatic climate control, with an extensive options list. It includes heated and power-adjustable front seats, dual-zone climate control, extra phone charging ports, sound system upgrades, and storage solutions.
For the 2023 Silverado 1500, you've got four great powertrains to pick from. At the base level is a 2.7-liter turbo 4-cylinder with 310 horsepower. If that's not enough, two great American V8s are on offer. You can choose between a 5.3-liter unit with 355 horsepower or a great 6.2-liter unit that delivers 420 horsepower. Diesel aficionados haven't been forgotten, as there's a 3.0-liter Duramax 6-cylinder turbo diesel with 305 horsepower. You've also got a choice between 6, 8, and 10-speed automatic transmissions, plus rear- or all-wheel-drive, depending on trim and spec. The 2023 Silverado 1500 can tow up to 13,300 pounds as well.
A 10-speed automatic transmission is the sole gearbox; you can pick rear- or all-wheel-drive. While the 2023 F-150 can tow up to 14,000 pounds, you'll get confused about picking the right engine spec to get this.
You’ll find that the 2023 Silverado 1500 and the 2023 F-150 are well-equipped in terms of safety features. They come with at least six airbags, stability control, daytime running lamps, automated emergency braking with pedestrian detection, and child safety locks on four-door variants. The 2023 Silverado 1500 also includes blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-departure warning, and lane-keeping assist as standard fitment. These are optional features on the 2023 F-150.
It’s a tough contest, but the 2023 Silverado 1500 is the better option. It comprehensively beats the 2023 F-150 as being easier to choose a suitable variant, as well as coming with a more standard safety kit and a nicer cabin.
