Chevy v. Ford
Did you know that the Chevrolet Silverado 5.3 vortex engine gets 20 miles per gallon on the highway while the ford F150 5.4 triton gets 16 miles per gallon on highway, Chevrolet gets 4 more mile per gallon than Ford? Today I am going to compare and contrast the 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 5.3 vortec vs the 2008 Ford f150 5.4 triton in three different ways, the engine, Suspension, and safety.

Also the suspension that Chevy offers is a heavy-duty style which you can put more weight on the truck and it will hold just fine while the suspension that Ford offers is less stronger and might not handle the extra weight well. Both Ford and Chevy offer a different suspension than the stock one, Ford offers the sport suspension that makes the truck have a lower stance than the stock suspension. However, Chevy offer an off-road suspension that makes the truck have a higher stance and have more ground clearance than the original suspension. Now we do the transition from suspension to the tires and rims, Ford only offers all terrain tires but they give you optional rim sizes they offer the 18 inch rim and the 20 inch rim which will make your truck look nicer. On the other hand, Chevy offers all terrain tires and all-season tires and it also offer the 17 inch rim and the 18 inch
