Compare the 2025 Chevy Silverado 1500 vs. the Ford F-150 and Ram 1500
The 2025 Chevy Silverado represents a better option than major competitors from Ford and Ram. Here's a comparison of these three trucks and why you'll want to buy the new 2025 Chevy Silverado 1500 at Bunnin Chevrolet of Santa Paula in Santa Paula, CA.

A comparison of engines and performance
The Chevy Silverado 1500 offers Simi Valley, CA buyers a wider variety of engines than the Ford F-150 and Ram 1500. Your Silverado 1500 choices include a 3.0-liter Duramax® diesel, a 2.7-liter TurboMax inline-four and V8 options. The Ford F-150 offers a 2.7-liter V6 as the standard option with choices that include a twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6 and a naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V8. The 2025 Ram 1500, unfortunately, has discontinued the legendary HEMI® V8 engine and has downgraded its powertrain options to include a V6 and twin-turbo inline-six gasoline powertrains. So the Chevy Silverado 1500 edges out the Ford F-150 in terms of engine options and leaves the Ram 1500 far behind the leaders.
The Chevy Silverado 1500 wins again in terms of award-winning dependability
The 2025 Chevy Silverado 1500 displayed its excellence in the J.D. Power 2025 US Vehicle Dependability Study. The Silverado 1500 came in first in the Large Light Duty Pickup category. When you make a major investment like a pickup truck, dependability is a significant factor. This study proves that the Chevy Silverado 1500 is more dependable than the Ford F-150 and the Ram 1500.


Another Chevy Silverado 1500 win: Hands-free trailering
The 2025 Chevy Silverado and Ford F-150 each offer a version of hands-free driving. The Ram 1500 has yet to introduce that technology, so it leaves the Silverado 1500 to square off against the F-150. When it comes to the Silverado's Super Cruiseâ„¢ with Trailering, we believe it delivers more than the F-150's BlueCruise system.
With Chevy's Super Cruise, you have an extra hand on the wheel, even when yours can't be. When you need to haul a load, or have your trailer hitched to the back, you want a truck built to help you achieve an easy and dependable driving experience. No other truck in its class can compare.
A comparison of off-road capability
The 2025 Chevy Silverado has a formidable ZR2 model, the F-150 has the Raptor, and the Ram 1500 offers the Rebel. Each has something that off-road fans will appeciate, but the ZR2 takes things to a higher level for Ventura, CA off-roaders. The Chevy ZR2 model comes with a standard Duramax® 3.0-liter Turbo-Diesel engine, or you can select an available 6.2-liter V8. The 10-speed automatic transmission with Electronic Transmission Range Selector, Multimatic DSSV™ dampers, 33-inch Goodyear Wrangler Territory® MT tires with ZR2-specific 18-inch aluminum wheels are outstanding off-road features. The enhanced 2-speed transfer case with Terrain mode gives you even more off-road capability that competitors from Ford and Ram can't match.


A comparison of bed sizes
The Chevy Silverado bed is wider and taller than what you'd get with the Ford F-150. While both offer multiple bed lengths, the Silverado's standard bed at 6-feet-7 inches is 71.4 inches wide, and that's much more than the F-150's standard bed, which is only 50.6 inches wide. That means you'll have more room to haul whatever you need around Oxnard, CA. In fact, the Chevy Silverado 1500 has the most cargo volume in the full-size pickup class, beating both the Ford F-150 and the Ram 1500. The Chevy Silverado gives you 89.1 cubic feet while the Ford F-150 has only 77.4 cubic feet, and the Ram 1500 is ever further behind with a max of only 68.5 cubic feet. That's a major difference that can have a significant impact on your productivity.
