2020 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 vs The Competition in Sioux City, IA
If you’re excited to visit Knoepfler Chevrolet to test out the latest iteration of the Silverado 1500, we certainly don’t blame you! Chevy has undoubtedly raised the bar with the 2020 edition of this much-loved pickup truck, so we know you’ll be thrilled once you finally place yourself behind the wheel. Therefore, to help you feel completely confident in your choice, we’re comparing this vehicle to the 2020 versions of the Ford F-150, Ram 1500, and Toyota Tundra.
Chevy Silverado 1500 vs Ford F-150
We’ll get this review started by seeing how the 2020 Silverado 1500 measures up against the 2020 Ford F-150. Given that you’ll likely rely on this Chevrolet to haul your heaviest loads, you’ll be thrilled to learn that it delivers up to a 13,400-lb. maximum towing capacity1 when properly equipped. Although the F-150 puts up a good fight, it falls short with its 13,200-lb. maximum towing capacity2. However, the truck from Ford also misses the mark when it comes to cargo capacity, as its bed supplies 77.4 cubic ft. of space3 to the Silverado 1500’s 89.1 cubic ft. of storage4. Finally, the Chevy also excels with interior space, as evidenced by the 44.5 inches of front legroom, which tops the F-150’s 43.9 inches for this area.
Chevy Silverado 1500 vs Ram 1500
Next up on the docket is the 2019 Ram 1500. Once again, the 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 manages to best it regarding trailering potential, truck bed space, and interior room! Starting with front leg space, the model from Ram falls well short of the mark established by its rival with 40.9 inches to the Chevy’s more accommodating 44.5 inches. You’ll also have less storage in the bed for gear and other items in the Ram 1500 due to its cramped 66.4 cubic ft. of space. The Silverado 1500, meanwhile, offers up to 89.1 cubic ft. of room4 in this area. Finally, the Ram doesn’t come close to besting the truck from Chevrolet when put to the test with hauling. As you know, the Silverado 1500 provides a 13,400-lb. towing capacity1. Its rival, on the other hand, supplies a 12,750-lb. maximum towing capacity5.
Chevy Silverado 1500 vs Toyota Tundra
The final pickup truck we’ll compare to the Chevy Silverado 1500 is the 2020 Toyota Tundra. Just like the other competitors, this set of wheels simply can’t keep up with the Silverado. By now, you’re already aware that the Chevy pickup arms you with a 13,400-lb. towing capacity1 and up to 44.5 inches of front legroom. To compare, the Tundra delivers a rather uninspiring 10,200-lb. towing capacity6 and just 42.5 inches of front-row leg space. In addition, the Toyota’s longest truck bed is 97.6 inches, which doesn’t quite match the Silverado 1500’s maximum bed length of 98.1 inches. Therefore, you might not be able to fit your longest pieces in the Tundra.
