The 2018 Chevrolet Silverado features StabiliTrak with Trailer Sway Control, which automatically detects trailer sway and applies vehicle and trailer brakes to keep everything in line. Finally, Hill Start Assist is also included, which holds the brake momentarily so you do not slide back when you’re starting on a steep grade.
As far as safety features for the truck, the 2018 Chevrolet Silverado has a myriad of safety features to keep you, your family, and your friends and coworkers safe.

The F-150 also has many smart towing features available that will make trailering and towing cargo that much easier. The vehicle includes smart capabilities like ProTrailer BackUp Assist – which syncs the vehicle and the trailer when you back up, dynamic hitch assist, smart trailer tow connector – which alerts you to any connectivity issues, factory installed trailer brake controller, and a Blind Spot Information System.
The 2018 Ford F-150 also includes a couple of safety features like Pre-Collision Assist with Pedestrian Detection and Lane-Keeping systems. With fewer safety features on the vehicle than the 2018 Chevrolet Silverado, we think that this vehicle still lags behind on the best new truck on the market competition.

The interior of the 2018 Chevrolet Silverado is something to behold. With black and cream leather seating to choose from, chrome accents, leather-wrapped steering wheel, and the latest technologies making up the command center, the interior of this vehicle is truly the pinnacle of style and sophistication.
The vehicle seats a spacious five, with plenty of legroom in the back seats to stretch out and relax.

This is a smart, comfortable, and sophisticated interior for the modern truck buyer – with any and all of your needs met in this spacious and stunning space.

2018 Ford F-150

The interior of the 2018 Ford F-150 is, unfortunately, a bit clunky for our taste. The instrument panel and command center is overly large and obtrusive, taking away from a possible sophisticated exterior. With all of the buttons and instruments included in the command center, it’s a little overwhelming at first glance. Drivers and critics question if the large center is necessary, and wonder if subtlety overall would have been preferred. However, the truck also has premium black leather seating, which adds a touch of style, as well as a choice of camel fabric seating. A futuristic touch is the ambient blue lighting that can be turned on in the interior of the vehicle. Overall, we prefer the classy and yet refined minimal interior of the 2018 Chevrolet Silverado to this vehicle.

• 6.2L V8 – 420 hp and 460 lb-ft of torque, and a towing capacity of 12,500 lbs.

The towing capacity of the 2018 Ford F-150 is 5000-8000 lbs, a little less than the 2018 Chevrolet Silverado, and does not have the same amount of horsepower. With these criteria in mind, we think that the 2018 Chevrolet Silverado has the 2018 Ford F-150 beat hands down.
