Ford F-150 or chevy Silverado reliability?
Ford F-150 with either ecoboost v6 or the v8 or the chevy Silverado with v6 or v8 engines.
Which brand or truck has better reliability? I hear mixed reviews on both makes and like both.
I will be looking for a truck that's sade comfortable ride decent has as far as trucks go and reliability. Won't need to fix or breakdown/ in shop often with regular Maintenance.
So in your opinion which truck has better overall reliability and is longer lasting?
I will be towing small POp up campers and Using the bed for firewood but also using the truck for the family
I'm a Ford guy so the Ford would be my choice -drive both and see what you like the best - the engine configuration are quite different (even within the same model). I bought a 2010 F150 (lightly used) with the 5.4L and towing package. Drove a new V6 ecoboost too -and it just didn't have the balls from the start - and I was going to be towing a 4k lbs pretty regularly. Fuel mileage on the hwy is in the high teens - mid teens towing and around town. So not terrible and it is not used that often (long trips and towing).
Bottom line Ford or Chevy - not that much difference is quality more about driveability and economy.

- Why do my ford keys work in 01 Silverado and not the 04? They came out of a ford, but they look like ford ranger keys. I don't understand why they work on my friends 01 Silverado and not my 04?
- How long will a chevy silverado last? Trading in my ford ranger to many problems and issues. Anyways I'm looking at some used silverados they all have over 10000 miles on them. Are they built like toyota tundra and tacoma where they will last forever. In the 90s my mom owned a chevy caviler and a chevy mini van both had the transmission blow quickly and they leaked oil all over the place. Are the trucks like this are they good trucks
- Which should I consider 2001 Chevy Silverado 1500 or 1998 Ford f150? I'm wanting to trade my car in for one of the 2 but which will give me less trouble to keep maintained
