CHEVY HAD TWO YEARS TO BEST FORD -- DID THEY DO IT? | MOTORTREND

EV Channels Review

MotorTrend pits the Chevrolet Silverado EV against the Ford F-150 Lightning in a head-to-head comparison, evaluating their capabilities as electric pickup trucks. While the Silverado EV boasts a longer estimated range of 400 miles and faster charging speeds thanks to its 800-volt architecture, the F-150 Lightning offers a more familiar driving experience and superior towing stability. The Silverado EV's innovative features, like the midgate and a more spacious bed, are praised for their utility, but their execution is criticized for being complex and sometimes unreliable. Interior quality is a significant point of contention, with the Silverado EV's cabin perceived as less premium than the F-150 Lightning's, especially considering their high price points. Despite its drawbacks, the Silverado EV's more advanced, purpose-built EV platform and superior regenerative braking and one-pedal driving systems ultimately give it a narrow victory in this comparison, though the margin is smaller than anticipated.
