Silverado 3500 vs F-350: A Potent Performance

With heavy-duty trucks, you can always count on a brawny V8 under the hood. The 2019 Silverado 3500 and F-350 each offer two of them: a traditional gas V8 and a turbodiesel V8. With the latter engines, you can max out these trucks’ muscle with roughly 450 horsepower and more than 900 lb-ft of torque!

Ready to put all that power to work? You’ll find the Chevy truck can tow more. With a max conventional towing capacity of 23,100 pounds, it can move even the heaviest equipment and trailers stacked high with all your products and materials. The Ford comes close but falls short with a 21,000-pound capacity.

Both trucks come equipped with smooth-shifting 6-speed automatic transmissions. They’ll help you drive as efficiently as possible and send power exactly where it’s needed for the toughest tasks!

Technology Features for Your Productivity

Eager to get more done behind the wheel? The Chevrolet Silverado 3500 and Ford F-350 make it possible with advanced infotainment. With the Chevrolet Infotainment System and its Ford equivalent, you can:

• Make hands-free calls and stream audio via Bluetooth®
• Access your messages, maps, and music library via Apple CarPlay™ or Android Auto™
• Follow voice-guided, turn-by-turn navigation directions to your destination

Keep in mind, the Chevy system lets you store up to 60 apps, icons, and features for easy access on the road. For items of a more physical nature, you’ll have a nifty center console that doubles as a filing cabinet. It may not be high-tech, but it helps put your business on wheels—and lacks a counterpart in the F-350.

Interior Style: Sophisticated Work Trucks

Work trucks these days know how to deliver on comfort and style. The Ford and Chevy trucks are on point in this respect and sure to satisfy aesthetically.  

Each offers premium seating. In the F-350 Limited, you’ll find Camelback two-tone leather. The Silverado 3500 counters with leather available in adventure-ready Dune with Cocoa accents—or a rich Saddle shade.

So, where does the Chevy stand out? Upper trim levels like the High Country offer real wood accents on the door panels and center console. They especially compliment those rugged cabin colors we mentioned above. The Silverado 3500 features sharp styling, but it lacks those same high-quality materials.

Is the Chevy Silverado 3500 or Ford F-350 Right for Me?

Lansing, Grand Ledge, and East Lansing shoppers have seen these heavy-duty pickup trucks go at it. Now, does the 2019 Chevy Silverado 3500 or Ford F-350 seem best suited for your driving needs?

While both vehicles size up quite nicely, the F-350 stands out for its towing muscle, stylish cabin, and top-tier technology. If these qualities align with your needs, it’s time to get behind the wheel. Schedule a test drive at Feldman Chevrolet of Lansing today!
