Truck bed

Chevrolet has designed the 2021 Silverado 1500 truck bed to be more functional than any competitor, including the Ford F-150. When you’re out to do hard work, you need a truck bed that has the strength to handle whatever you throw at it, and the Silverado 1500 Durabed is that bed. It’s made with roll-formed high-strength-steel, as opposed to the aluminum alloy in the Ford F-150, and it has the best-in-class standard cargo volume at 89.1 cubic feet.* 

Durabed also includes 12 standard tie downs, more than twice of any competitor, and an available segment-first power-up/-down tailgate.  

Tailgate

Say goodbye to your outdated tailgate expectations, and hello to the new Multi-Flex Tailgate on the 2021 Silverado 1500. This versatile tailgate offers six configurations that help you work smarter on the job in Mechanicsburg, Ohio. With both a primary gate and an inner gate, you get easier access to the truck bed, two load stops, a full-width step, and a convenient work surface. The Ford F-150 is without these unique tools, leaving you wanting more from your truck’s tailgate.

Technology

Capability is nothing without the prowess to get the job done. The Silverado 1500 maintains its status as an icon of innovation by offering a number of advanced trailering technologies to help you make the most of its capability. For one thing, Silverado 1500 offers more available camera views than any other competitor, with 15 total angles. Although the Ford F-150 does have some tools like Blind Spot Information System with Trailer Coverage, it can’t compete with the Silverado 1500, which even has a transparent trailer view. 

The 2021 Silverado 1500 also boasts the segment-first available Advanced Trailering System, which lets you create customized trailer profiles, look at pre-departure checklists, and monitor the lights and the tires.
