Features
There’s no doubt that the 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and the 2017 Ford F-150 come generously equipped across their respective lineups, but the Silverado 1500 has some technologies that are unavailable on the F-150. For example, an available upgraded infotainment system incorporates OnStar telematics, which provides a 4G LTE Wi-Fi connection that allows up to seven devices to connect to the Internet at once while on the go. The Ford F-150, on the other hand, can’t be fitted with Internet connection capabilities, meaning drivers and passengers will have to drain their data plans if they want to access social media or stream videos when they hit the road.
