Between the two, it's the Silverado that has the best outright value proposition, with its new additions making for a pickup that’s just as exciting to own on day one, years down the line. The Ram is a looker, and it brings luxury that's hard to beat, but the Silverado’s unmatched practicality is what gives it the edge in this head-to-head.

The best part of being in a new year is new trucks, and if you’re in the market for a new pickup, there are two you’re probably thinking of: the 2025 Chevy Silverado, and the F-150. We’ll be comparing the 2025 Chevy Silverado and 2025 Ford F-150 for towing and hauling, as well as some standout features. Key takeaways The Silverado comes with two engines capable of towing 13,300 pounds. The Silverado comes with some new features, and while it’s not too many new things, the F-150 doesn’t come with any new features. The Silverado comes with a slightly higher price for the starting trims, it’s not as expensive as the F-150 for the higher-end trims. Will the 2025 Chevy Silverado be redesigned? The Silverado does see some change, but nothing too massive. For 2025, the Silverado comes with two new paints for 2025. These colors are Cypress Gray and Riptide Blue. Another change to the Silverado is a Universal Vehicle Module for the Work Truck, but that’s for public safety agencies. Will the 2025 Ford F-150 be redesigned? No, the F-150 isn’t being redesigned. For 2025, the F-150 has no change from the 2024 model, making it a complete carryover. How much does a 2025 Chevy Silverado cost? For 2025, the Silverado comes with 9 trims, and their prices are: WT starting at $44,695 Custom starting at $47,895 LT starting at $54,540 RST starting at $53,495 Custom Trail Boss starting at $53,795 LTZ starting at $59,490 LT Trail Boss starting at $60,795 High Country starting at $64,490 ZR2 starting at $71,995 If you’re looking for the most basic work trucks, then the WT or Custom trims are for you. They’re powerful and capable, but don't come with all of the bells and whistles that make the price go up. This is perfect for tradespeople and handymen that need something rugged. If you’re not looking for something rugged, then Car and Driver thinks that the LT trim is the way to go. This is because it “is where the fancier interior comes into play.” How much does a 2025 Ford F-150 cost? The F-150 has a starting price of $38,810. The F-150 comes in 8 trims that you can find, and their prices are: XL starting at $38,810 STX starting at $42,015 XLT starting at $45,695 Lariat starting at $63,360 Tremor starting at $64,915 King Ranch starting at $74,905 Platinum starting at $74,905 Raptor starting at $79,005 For the 2025 F-150, the trim that Car and Driver thinks you should get is the Lariat trim. This is because they “prefer the additional luxuries” that the trim comes with. But if you look at the prices of the two recommended trims, the Silverado is almost $9,000 less than the F-150.

We will look at these trucks' different features to find key differences that will help you decide which is the right one for you and your needs. Key Takeaways: The 2024 Chevy Silverado 1500 and the 2024 GMC Sierra 1500 offer a range of engines. These engines include the following: a TruboMax turbocharged 2.7-liter 4-cylinder, a 5.3-liter V8, a 6.2-liter V8, and a 3.0-liter Duramax turbodiesel. Even with the different engine options, both the Silverado and the Sierra offer great fuel efficiency. The 3.0-liter Duramax diesel engine is especially good and has nearly identical towing capabilities with the ability to tow up to 13,300 pounds. The Silverado’s interior is more rugged and practical while the Sierra’s interior has a more luxurious feel. Each comes with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and optional Wi-Fi hotspots. The Silverado’s base trim has a few extra standard features compared to the Sierra’s base trim. There is a minimal price difference between the Silverado and the Sierra. The Silverado starts at $36,800 while the Sierra starts at $37,700. How much power do the 2024 Chevy Silverado and 2024 GMC Sierra have? The 2024 Chevy Silverado and the 2024 GMC Sierra offer the same range of engines. The standard engine for these trucks is a TurboMax turbocharged 2.7-liter 4-cylinder engine. This engine is 310 horsepower with 430 lb-ft of torque. This engine produces the most power while achieving maximum fuel efficiency. For buyers who want a little more power, there is an engine option that is a 5.3-liter V8 with 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque. If this is not enough engine power for you, there is an even more powerful engine option. This powerful engine is a 6.2-liter V8 with 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. Each of the above engines comes with a 10-speed automatic transmission which allows for smooth shifting. The Silverado and the Sierra also offer a 3.0-liter Duramax turbodiesel. This engine has lower horsepower compared to the other engines at 305 horsepower. However, it has a surprising amount of torque. This 3.0-liter Duramax turbodiesel engine has 495 lb-ft of torque which is even more torque than the 6.2-liter V8. This high amount of torque makes this engine a great option for towing or hauling heavy loads and can make your truck an impressive work vehicle. What is the fuel efficiency and towing capacity of the 2024 Silverado and 2024 Sierra? When we look at the fuel efficiency of these trucks, there is not a huge difference between the two. When equipped with the TurboMax engine, each truck gets up to 19 mpg in the city and 22 mpg on the highway. If equipped with the 3.0 Duramax diesel engine, each of the trucks get up to 23 mpg in the city and 29 mpg on the highway. In addition to having good fuel economy, the Silverado and the Sierra also have great towing capabilities. Depending on the configuration, the towing capacity can reach up to an impressive 13,300 pounds. When it comes to driving dynamics, these trucks are evenly matched. Both offer a comfortable ride with precise handling due to their well-built suspension. However, the Chevy Silverado’s higher trims do have the option of a four-wheel steering system. This increases the truck’s maneuverability at lower speeds. How do the interiors of the 2024 Chevy Silverado and the 2024 GMC Sierra compare? The Silverado’s and the Sierra’s interiors are where these trucks start to differ. The Silverado has a more rugged and functional interior. The materials used for the Silverado’s interior are practical, durable materials. However, the Silverado’s upper trims do offer more refinement. Overall, the interior of the Silverado has a practical feel. To contrast this, the Sierra leans more towards a luxury feel. The plush leather seating, a well-designed center console, and chrome accents throughout the cabin give this truck a more high-end vibe. Furthermore, the Sierra’s upper trims have features such as a 13.4-inch touchscreen infotainment system and a head-up display which further emphasizes the luxury feel of the Sierra over the Silverado. What technology do the 2024 Chevy Silverado and the 2024 GMC Sierra have? The base trim for both the Silverado and the Sierra include some of the same technological features that are standard across the board. These features include Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and optional Wi-Fi hotspots. However, the Silverado does include a few extra features in its base trim that are only available as additional add-on features for the Sierra. These extra features for the Silverado include satellite ratio and a hands-free communication system. Both of these trucks are evenly matched in the safety technology they include. Each has automatic emergency braking, forward-collision warning, and lane departure warning as standard features. In higher trim packages for both trucks, additional safety features can be added like adaptive cruise control and a 360-degree camera system. What is the price of the 2024 Chevy Silverado and the 2024 GMC Sierra? The price of the Silverado and the Sierra is another area where these trucks are pretty evenly matched. The Silverado starts at a slightly lower base price of $36,800 while the Sierra starts at a slightly higher base price of $37,700. This $900 price difference is not likely to be a huge deciding factor between these two trucks. However, the base package for the Silverado does have a less luxurious feeling interior and a few less standard features than the Sierra’s base model. But ultimately the key selling points depend on what features are most important to you. Should I buy the 2024 Chevy Silverado or the 2024 GMC Sierra? Deciding whether to buy the 2024 Chevy Silverado 1500 or the 2024 GMC Sierra 1500 ultimately comes down to your preferences and priorities.

Vehicles in the midsize truck segment are in close competition to come out on top as the vehicle with the best fuel efficiency, capability, and affordability. Two trucks that are top competitors in the midsize truck segment are the 2024 Chevy Colorado and the 2024 Ford Ranger. These two trucks offer impressive features and designs making them close competitors. To decide which truck is best for you we will look at each of their features and capabilities. Key Takeaways: The 2024 Ford Ranger comes out ahead of the Chevy Colorado in base horsepower because of the variety of engine options offered. However, the Chevy Colorado shines when it comes to muscular towing capability. It can haul up to an impressive 7,700 pounds while the Ranger can haul up to 7,500. When it comes to fuel economy, the Ford Ranger’s rating is 21 mpg in the city and 25 mpg on the highway while the Chevy Colorado’s is 20 mpg in the city and 25 mpg on the highway. The Colorado ZR2 and the Ranger Raptor have off-road features such as increased ground clearance, locking differentials, and skid plates. The Chevy Colorado has a standard 11.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system equipped with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The Ford Ranger’s infotainment system is a standard 10.2-inch infotainment system that is slightly smaller and a little less intuitive. The 2024 Chevy Colorado starts at a slightly lower MSRP than the Ford Ranger which could potentially offer buyers looking for an off-road vehicle better value. 2024 Chevy Colorado Performance vs. 2024 Ford Ranger Performance To determine which truck has better performance, it is important to evaluate the vehicle’s engine. The Chevy Colorado has the choice between two turbocharged engine options. The first option is a 2.7-liter four-cylinder engine that is 237 horsepower and has 260 lb-ft of torque. The second option is a 2.7-liter TurboMax with an impressive 310 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque. Each of these engines comes with an 8-speed automatic transmission. Like the Chevy Colorado, the Ford Ranger also has two different engine options. The first engine for the Ranger is a 2.3-liter EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder engine. This engine generates 270 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque. The second engine is a 2.7-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine that is 315 horsepower and produces 400 lb-ft of torque. Both of these engines come with a 10-speed automatic transmission. The Ford Ranger also offers a special engine that is made just for the Ranger Raptor. This engine is a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine with the highest horsepower and torque of all the engines coming in at 405 and 430 lb-ft respectively. However, this engine comes at a premium price and puts the buyer at a higher price point than the Chevy Colorado. If the buyer is looking at just horsepower, the Ranger comes out ahead of the Colorado. However, reviewers of the Chevy Colorado praised it for its muscular towing capability. The Chevy Colorado can haul up to 7,700 pounds while the Ranger has the ability to haul up to 7,500 pounds. Both trucks offer almost equally good fuel efficiency for the midsize truck segment. The Chevy Colorado can get up to 20 mpg in the city and 25 mpg on the highway. The Ranger had only marginally better fuel economy in the city and got up to 21 mpg. On the highway, the Ranger was equal to the Colorado and got up to 25 mpg. When it comes to driving dynamics, the Chevy Colorado offers an arguably better user experience. The Colorado’s well-weighted steering and composed handling give it a more car-like feel. On the other hand, the Ranger prioritizes stability and providing a comfortable ride. Some buyers might find this to be less exciting than the driving dynamics of the Colorado. How do the off-road capabilities of the 2024 Chevy Colorado and Ford Ranger compare? The Colorado and Ranger offer great off-road trim packages for buyers seeking off-road adventure. The Colorado ZR2 comes with features such as a suspension system that has increased ground clearance, locking differentials, and a skid plate that makes it a force to be reckoned with on challenging terrain. The Ranger Raptor has many similar features and even some superior ones that make it an equally capable off-road vehicle. However, given that both of these trucks have very similar features, some buyers find the Colorado's price point to be a better bang for their buck. The Colorado’s setup starts at a lower $48,395 while the Ranger Raptor starts at $55,470. What are the interior features of the 2024 Chevy Colorado and Ford Ranger? We will now open the doors and take a look at the inside of these two vehicles. The Chevy Colorado offers a more driver-oriented cabin. The seating options are either a comfortable cloth or leather depending on the trim level. The Colorado’s infotainment system is a responsive, user-friendly, standard 11.3-inch touchscreen. The infotainment system is equipped with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Compared to the Colorado, the Ranger’s interior has a more modern design with upscale materials in higher trims. However, the Ranger’s infotainment system is a slightly smaller standard 10.1-inch touchscreen. While the Ranger’s infotainment system also offers Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, it can be less user-friendly than the Colorado’s infotainment system. Despite these differences, both trucks offer a comprehensive range of driver-assistance features like automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, and blind-spot monitoring. What is the cost of the 2024 Chevy Colorado and the 2024 Ford Ranger? Cost is the ultimate deciding factor for many buyers so let’s look at the price difference in these two vehicles. The Colorado’s MSRP for the base model is $29,200 which is a little lower than the Ranger’s MSRP of $32,670 for the base model. However, the Colorado’s higher towing capacity could be the deciding factor for some buyers which could justify the price difference for higher Colorado trims. Ultimately, what a buyer is willing to pay comes down to his or her needs and priorities. Should I buy the 2024 Chevy Colorado or the 2024 Ford Ranger? Choosing between buying the 2024 Chevy Colorado and the 2024 Ford Ranger comes down to what you prioritize. The Chevy Colorado is a good choice for those looking for good driving dynamics, towing ability, and off-roading capabilities. The Ford Ranger shines when it comes to riding comfortability, having a more modern interior, and a powerful engine selection. It is a good option for buyers looking for a good blend of on-road comfort and off-road capability.

Depending on trim model, Ford’s popular full-size truck offers everything from a payload-friendly V8 to a thrifty hybrid powertrain. Besides the Raptor trims, which are only available with their exclusive engine options, most F-150 trim models are available with an engine upgrade: Turbocharged 2.7L V6 (325 horsepower, 400 lb-ft) 5.0L V8 (400 hp, 410 lb-ft) Turbo 3.5L V6 (400 hp, 500 lb-ft) Raptor-specific turbo 3.5L V6 (450 hp, 510 lb-ft) Raptor R-specific supercharged 5.2L V8 (700 hp, 640 lb-ft) PowerBoost hybrid powertrain (430 hp, 570 lb-ft) Although the Silverado 1500 doesn’t offer the same level of diversity, it’s the right choice for drivers who want to maximize their V8 performance. Compared to the F-150’s only available V8, which makes 400 horses, the Silverado 1500 can do a little better, pumping out 420 horses for a muscular performance. When it comes to power, the Silverado 1500 is also pretty versatile, offering four engine options to suit your need for power: Turbocharged 2.7L four-cylinder engine (310 horsepower, 430 pound-feet of torque) 5.3L V8 (355 hp, 383 lb-ft) 6.2L V8 (420 hp, 460 lb-ft) Turbo 3.0L six-cylinder diesel engine (305 hp, 495 lb-ft) Is the 2024 Chevy Silverado Fuel Efficient? Even without a hybrid powertrain, the Silverado 1500 manages to be the thriftiest option! Thanks to its peppy turbodiesel engine, Chevy’s full-size truck can help you save at the pump. EPA ratings reach 26 mpg combined ( 23 city/29 highway)! Like you might expect, the F-150 earns its highest EPA ratings when equipped with its PowerBoost hybrid powertrain. Depending on configuration, a hybrid 2024 F-150 earns up to 23 mpg combined ( 22 city/24 highway). Is the 2024 Chevy Silverado 1500 Worth the Money? While the 2024 Ford F-150 is big on selection, the 2024 Chevy Silverado 1500 is our first choice. Not only does Chevy’s full-size truck treat you to a classic V8 performance, but it also gives you a great price on a very capable ride. And if you want to save at the pump, there’s no better option!

But the Toyota’s most expensive models have a little more kick than their Colorado counterparts. Both trucks are available with four-wheel drive to help you maintain a steady performance over soft surfaces, like sand or mud. The 2024 Colorado is available with two impressive engine options, depending on which trim model you select: WT, LT: Turbo (237 horsepower, 260 lb-ft of torque) Standard for Trailboss, Z71, ZR2 and optional for WT, LT: TurboMax (310 hp, 430 lb-ft) Eight-speed automatic Rear-wheel drive or optional four-wheel drive The 2024 Tacoma offers your choice of three engines, depending on trim model: Base, SR: turbo 2.4L four-cylinder engine (228 hp, 243 lb-ft) TRD PreRunner, TRD Sport, TRD Off-Road, Limited: high-output 2.4L four-cylinder engine (278 hp, 317 lb-ft with automatic or 270 hp, 310 lb-ft with manual transmission) TRD Pro, Trailhunter (and optional for the TRD Sport, TRD Off-Road, Limited): i-Force Max hybrid powertrain (326 hp, 456 lb-ft) Eight-speed automatic transmission Optional six-speed manual transmission Rear-wheel drive or optional four-wheel drive Is the 2024 Chevy Colorado Good For Towing? If you’ve got a pretty big boat or camper that needs a lift, the Colorado should be your first choice! Properly equipped, this midsize truck tows best-in-class loads of up to 7,700 pounds. By comparison, the Tacoma’s max tow rating of 6,500 pounds forces you to get a smaller boat. On the other hand, these midsize trucks can haul nearly the same payloads. Depending on configuration, the Colorado can tow max payloads of 1,685 pounds. The Tacoma can tow 24 extra pounds, with tow ratings of up to 1,709 pounds. What Features Are Seen From the 2024 Chevy Colorado? Every Colorado comes standard with an easy-to-use infotainment system, including an 11.3-inch touchscreen display and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Also on the list of standard features is an 11-inch digital gauge cluster, which shows you the performance stats you want to see on its crisp, configurable display. Plus, every trim model makes it easy to hitch a trailer, thanks to a rearview camera with hitch guidance. But the fun doesn’t end with Colorado's excellent standard lineup. Moving up the list of trim models (WT, LT, Trail Boss, Z71, and ZR2) means more to love, including tech upgrades like wireless smartphone charging and a surround-view parking camera. You’ll also appreciate available conveniences like the EZ-Lift-and-Lower and StowFlex tailgate. The StowFlex tailgate includes a lockable, watertight storage compartment with a drain that can double as a tailgate cooler! The base Tacoma isn’t quite as handsomely equipped as the base Colorado. However, this truck does include an 8-inch infotainment touchscreen and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Only the top-trim Limited trim comes standard with infotainment upgrades like a 14-inch touchscreen or a 360-degree camera system. Although the top-trim Limited comes with a power tailgate, the Tacoma isn’t available with a flexible or easy-to-lift tailgate. Is the 2024 Chevy Colorado Better than the 2024 Toyota Tacoma? Although the 2024 Toyota Tacoma delivers all the basics, it’s the 2024 Chevy Colorado that truly shines. With best-in-class towing capabilities and the best (and most affordable) tech lineup, we highly recommend Chevy’s cutting-edge midsize truck!

Paragraph Does the 2023 Ford F-1-50 Raptor stack up against the 2023 Chevy Silverado 1500 ZR2 Bison? Both Chevy and Ford have new 2023 models for the Silverado and F-150, and deciding between which is best when adding in trims also, the information stacks up. So how to know whether the 2023 Chevy Silverado 1500 ZR2 Bison or the 2023 Ford F-150 Raptor is the winner? To assist in navigating the tough terrains on the road and in the decision process, some main points are listed below to give a basic idea of what to expect. Key Takeaways: Silverado has 6.2L V-8 engine; F-150 has 3.5L V6 Ford F-150 Raptor has a little more HP than the Chevy Silverado 1500 ZR2 Bison The Bison has front and rear e-lockers The Raptor has internal bypass shocks Both have a 10 speed automatic transmission While these only show a few of the differences there is more to delve into regarding these 2 2023 trims. Depending on what you want in a new truck, either option comes with a multitude of features to keep any truck loving, off-roader happy. But here we have to find a clear winner and that we did! Why are the 2023 Chevy Silverado 1500 ZR3 Bison and the 2023 F-150 Raptor competing? Chevy has introduced the new 2023 Chevy Silverado 1500 ZR3 Bison to be a direct competitor to the 2023 Ford F-150 Raptor. This had led to a sparked debate on how to know which of the trucks is a better option. Although these two may be competitors of one another, they have a vast amount of differences when it comes down to the stats. Starting with the overall design, the 2023 Silverado 1500 ZR3 Bison is made with a sleeker component that lends a hand to the way this truck drives smoothly over any surface. The 2023 Chevy Silverado 1500 ZR2 also runs more quietly than the F-150 Raptor. While the Ford F-150 Raptor does pack in more horsepower and torque per lb than the Chevy Silverado Bison, it doesn’t wipe the Silverado off the map. The Chevy Silverado Bison still comes packing a punch and winds up using its low range-gearing and DSSV shocks to assist in climbing just as tough of terrain as the F-150 Raptor can handle. With a great amount of underbody protection and a clearance of over 11 in, the Bison is fitting into a number of places and not just in the ratings. Is Chevy or Ford the most reliable? Both Chevy and Ford have great ratings and reviews so it can be difficult to tell which is the more reliable option. Both date back to the early 1900’s so they have been around for over 100 years. When taking into consideration that there have been ups and downs in both over the years, it is something to be said that when encompassing all vehicles, Chevy comes out with a slight advantage over Ford. Chevy has some of the top picks when it comes to their pick-ups, sedans and SUVs with scores of 5/5 and 4/5 on some models. Ford does come in close with their ratings just sitting a little below Chevy. Ultimately it is a close call so reviewing all aspects before making a final decision is always wise. Summary: When it comes down to picking out your new 2023 off-roading truck, the consensus leans to the 2023 Chevy Silverado 1500 ZR2 Bison regarding the new trims available this year from these 2 companies. The Chevy has a more reliable past and coupled with the new sleeker trim that is jam packed with protection for any off-roading adventure, the total package is complete in this option. With any additional add-ons this truck will only be stacked up even more against the competition. Yet even as the standard trim features, the 2023 Chevy Silverado 1500 ZR2 Bison did not come to play!

Which heavy-duty truck should you drive home, the 2023 Chevy Silverado 2500HD or Ford F-250 Super Duty? Our side-by-side comparison gives you the details you need to make an educated choice. Best Price: 2023 Chevy Silverado 2500HD The Silverado 2500HD starts at around $40,500, giving you a great deal on a very powerful truck. Although Ford hasn’t released its official MSRP figures for its Super Duty trucks, we think it will cost a little more, perhaps starting around $45,765. Maximum Power: (Probably) Ford F-250 Super Duty Once again, Ford has yet to announce all the specs for its redesigned Super Duty trucks. However, we expect them to be packing slightly more power than their Chevy counterparts. This year, the F-250 offers a bigger standard V8 and a high-output version of its diesel V8, maximizing towing and hauling capabilities. Standard 6.8-liter gas-powered V8 Optional 7.3-liter gas-powered V8 Optional 6.7-liter Power Stroke diesel V8 10-speed automatic transmission Rear-wheel drive (XL) Four-wheel drive (XLT and up) The Chevy Silverado 2500HD offers two heavy-duty powertrains, both of which supply major power in their own right: Gas-powered 6.6-liter V8 (401 horsepower, 464 lb-ft of torque) + six-speed automatic transmission Duramax diesel 6.6L V8 (445 hp, 910 lb-ft) + 10-speed automatic transmission Standard rear-wheel drive Optional four-wheel drive Configuration Options: It’s a Tie! When it comes to body-style options, you’ll see a lot of overlap between these heavy-duty trucks. For instance, both offer three cabins: regular, extended or crew. And both offer a couple of bed sizes, leaving you to choose the amount of cargo and passenger space that’s right for you. And both trucks come in a variety of trim levels, so you can decide which comfort and convenience features are worth your dime. Rich Interior Comfort: 2023 Chevy Silverado 2500HD This was a close competition, but we love the Silverado 2500HD's top trim model, the iconic High Country. It’s loaded with upscale features, giving you a true luxury experience with its leather seating, heated and ventilated front seats, and chrome trim. Of course, the 2023 Ford F-250 also has some very luxurious trim models, including the King Ranch and Limited. These trucks also include leather upholstery and stylish chrome trim. However, in spite of any upgrades, the F-250 cabin can feel a little too plasticky, cutting back on its ability to deliver a luxury experience. Your Heavy-Duty Truck In the end, we think the 2023 Chevy Silverado 2500HD is absolutely the right choice. This heavy-duty pickup gives you the best price on a very capable ride, and it offers a wide range of upgrades to boot!

Which should I choose, the 2023 Chevy Silverado 2500HD or the GMC Sierra 2500HD? These heavy-duty trucks have so much in common that you might not see much of a difference between them — at least not at first. But our comparison guide is here to help you get there.

But the Silverado looks a little more modern, with its unique signature LED lighting and rugged stance. Both trucks offer a wide range of exterior upgrades, however, including flashy wheel options and chrome trim. Power & Performance: It’s a Tie! Because they have a parent company in GM, both of these heavy-duty trucks offer the same two engine options. For maximum towing capabilities, opt for the Duramax diesel engine. And every truck, no matter which trim model or engine you select, is available with trail-ready four-wheel drive. Choose from these powertrain options: Standard gas-powered 6.6-liter V8 (401 horsepower, 464 lb-ft of torque) + six-speed automatic transmission Optional Duramax diesel 6.6L V8 (445 hp, 910 lb-ft) + 10-speed automatic transmission Standard rear-wheel drive Optional four-wheel drive Towing & Hauling Capabilities: 2023 Chevy Silverado 2500HD In spite of offering the same powertrain options, these trucks’ towing and hauling capabilities differ somewhat.

2020 Chevrolet Blazer vs Toyota Highlander Inventory In the market for a midsize SUV? Chances are you’ve crossed paths with the 2020 Chevrolet Blazer and the 2020 Toyota Highlander. While both offer customers similar packages, they do have their differences. We can’t help but feel that the Chevrolet Blazer’s slick, stylish design and engaging ride is hard to pass up. Design The Blazer’s cool Camaro-inspired design with spacious seating and cargo space makes this SUV fun to drive. With 2 rows of passenger seating, it seats up to 5 people comfortably with plenty of head and leg-room. The Blazer’s cabin fits its Camaro-inspired design, with circular air vents, a hexagon-shaped infotainment system, and available red accents. Behind the rear seating, there is 30.5 cubic feet of space and folding down the back row expands the capacity to 63.2 cubic feet. While the Highlander is fully redesigned, it doesn’t feel like a redesign from the ground up and it is less exciting to drive than the Blazer. It’s third row seating is cramped, even for kids. Though the Highlander seats up to eight people, for a midsize SUV that makes seating a little uncomfortable. The XLE, Limited, and Platinum trims come with middle-row captain’s chairs that drop the capacity to seven. Cargo space is limited with only 16 cubic feet of space behind the third-row seats. If you’re not transporting any passengers, you can get up to 84.3 cubic feet with both rows folded down. Tech Features The Blazer’s graphics on its 8-inch touch screen are crisp and easy to see. It also has a handy shortcut bar and responsive touch controls. It comes standard with Chevrolet Infotainment 3 system with Android auto, Apple CarPlay, four USB ports, Bluetooth, a Wi-Fi hot spot, and a six-speaker audio system. The Highlander’s standard technology equipment includes an 8-inch touch screen, Apple CarPlay, Amazon Alexa, Android Auto, five USB ports, Bluetooth, a Wi-Fi hot spot, satellite radio, and a six-speaker stereo. Similar to the Blazer’s package, but the graphics are a bit dated on the navigation system. Price and Engine The base 2020 Chevrolet Blazer L starts at $28,800, which is low for the midsize SUV class. The top-of-the-line Premier trim starts at $42,700. All-wheel drive costs an additional $2,000 to $2,900, depending on the trim. The Blazer’s base engine is a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with 193 hp, but if you want more power, there’s a new turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that makes 230 horsepower or a top-of-the-line 308-horsepower 3.6-liter V6 that packs a punch. It delivers a 21/27 mpg city and highway rating. With a considerable price difference, the Highlander’s base price starts at $34,600 for the Basic L and ranges to $46,850 for the Platinum edition. Hybrid’s pricing starts at $45,050 to $48,250 for the Hybrid Platinum. The Highlander averages 21/29 mpg city and highway. Its 3.5-liter V6 that makes 295 hp and 263 pound-feet of torque is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Though that is perfectly capable, it may not feel as energetic as the Blazer’s turbocharged engines. Overall The 2020 Chevrolet Blazer and 2020 Toyota Highlander are two models worth considering but if you want an affordable midsize SUV that is roomy, useful, and will stand out in the crowd; the Chevrolet Blazer is your pick.
