EFFICIENCY

Whether you’re using your electric truck for work or vacation, you’re sure to be traveling the roads a lot. When it comes to efficiency, these models answer to no one. If you’re ready to charge down the roads less traveled, take a look at how they perform.

What’s Your Range?

If you’re a truck lover, then there’s no doubt you know the names Ford and Chevy. These two brands have cemented themselves as two powerhouses in the industry, building pickups that are ready for extreme off-roading, huge worksite projects, tough farming tasks, and whatever else you can throw their way.

But now, Ford and Chevy want to make a name in the efficiency sector with the Lightning and the 2024 Silverado EV, respectively. Both models will be able to charge quickly to help you hit the road and journey over 300 miles when properly equipped.

Charge Up and Hit the Road

However, you may find road trips in the Lightning easier thanks to the over 84,000 Ford charging stations around the country . Chevy, on the other hand, is slightly behind their competitor with just over 50,000 public charging stations available.

That means you may have to drive out of your way to charge your Chevy.

PERFORMANCE

Just because these trucks will be outfitted with electric motors doesn’t mean they compromise on power and strength. With electric engines, both models put out tremendous amounts of power, but which one will make your drive easier?

Electric-Powered Muscle

The Ford Lightning and the 2024 Chevy Silverado EV are just as brawny as ever with their ability to tow 10,000 pounds when properly armed. With this capacity, you can easily tow items such as a:

Sailboat

Camper

Car trailer

Livestock trailer

Easy Towing

To help load your water ski boat into the water or back a larger camper into your site, the Lightning is available with Pro Trailer Backup Assist™ . This system seamlessly syncs your truck and trailer, so you can control the direction it turns when in Reverse with the simple turn of a dial.

This feature is a Ford-specific system, so the Silverado EV is not expected to have a comparable feature.

SAFETY

A big part of hitting the road these days is the peace of mind that comes from safety and driver-assisting features. These systems help keep you safe and aid your driving. Trucks like the F-150 Lightning and the Silverado EV come with many systems.

Efficient and Safe

Both the F-150 Lightning and the Silverado EV are packed with advanced tech designed to help keep you out of harm’s way, such as the following:

Auto High-Beam Headlamps

Lane-Keeping System

Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking

Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control

Parking Help

To assist with parking, the Ford Lightning is available with Active Park Assist 2.0 . This system automates parking by intelligently steering your truck into detected parking spots—it doesn’t get much easier than that!

As of right now, the 2024 Chevy Silverado EV is not expected to have a comparable safety system to offer, so you’ll have to park your pickup the old-fashioned way.
