Ford F-150 vs. Chevy Silverado 2026: Which Full-Size Truck Wins?

The Ford F-150 outsells the Chevy Silverado by roughly 200,000 units per year and has been America's best-selling vehicle for 47 consecutive years. In 2026, the F-150 wins on towing capacity at the upper trims (14,000 lbs vs. 13,300 lbs), payload (2,238 lbs vs. 2,280 lbs — Silverado leads here), powertrain variety (including the turbocharged 2.7L EcoBoost), and technology integration. The Silverado wins on base price ($38,000 vs. $41,000), optional 8-speed Allison transmission, and GM's MultiPro tailgate. For most buyers, the F-150 is the better truck. For towing-focused commercial buyers, the Silverado's Allison transmission option gives it a durability advantage.
