The column shifter frees up center-console space, and the Silverado's infotainment system was the easiest to master using the eight-inch touch screen built into the center stack. The dash design is straightforward, with most controls oversized and conventional dial gauges where so many vehicles have gone digital.
Although the F-150 has not yet been crash-tested by the federal government's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, it will be hard to be beat the Silverado's perfect 5-star rating. As for warranty length, the Silverado and F-150 offer the same bumper-to-bumper terms, 3 years or 36,000 miles, though the Chevy boasts a slightly stronger 5-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty to the F-150's 5-year/60,000 mile plan.
