American Icons Go Head to Head

Ford and Chevrolet. These names alone evoke images of the world’s most recognizable vehicles and one of the world’s biggest rivalries. For over 100 years, every Chevy and Ford dealer has been like cats and dogs of the Colts and Patriots. These brands compete for drivers’ hearts, minds, and wallets.

Read on to learn more about this age-old rivalry and why these two brands continue to fill driveways across America.

Built Ford Tough. Like a Rock.

Ford and Chevy are best known for producing incredibly capable and durable pickup trucks. The Ford F-150 and Chevy Silverado fill job sites, farms, and garages nationwide. Year after year, these trucks are ranked at the top of sales and owner satisfaction. For many, even the name “pickup truck’ makes them think of their local Chevy or Ford dealer.

Function and Fun

Ford and Chevy pickups share multi-function tailgates for more effortless loading, unloading, and accessing the truck bed. The Chevy Silverado’s Multi-Flex Tailgate opens in several configurations, including dropping down for use as a step. Ford’s similarly innovative Tailgate Step folds out of the top of the tailgate.

For the most hardcore off-road enthusiasts, Ford’s F-150 Raptor and Chevy’s Silverado ZR2 are purpose-built for tackling rugged terrain. These performance pickups boast enhanced suspension, all-terrain tires, and robust engines to dominate dirt, mud, sand, and more.

Strength in Numbers

Beyond pickups, Ford and Chevy compete in nearly every vehicle segment. Their lineups include best-selling SUVs like the Ford Explorer and Chevy Traverse, icons such as the Ford Mustang and Chevy Corvette, and even eco-friendly options with the Ford Escape Hybrid and Chevy Volt. With comparable models at similar prices, Ford and Chevy target the same wide range of buyers.

Leading the Charge in Safety

Ford and Chevy are committed to passenger safety, earning top honors from the IIHS and NHTSA. Advanced driver assistance features provide an extra set of eyes on the road. Chevy’s Safety Alert Seat vibrates to warn the driver, while Ford’s Blind Spot Information System monitors surrounding traffic.

An All-American Rivalry

Ford versus Chevy inspires passion and competition that benefits drivers, especially since Chevy and Ford dealer locations constantly try to one-up each other. Ford and Chevy push the limits of design, performance, capability, technology, and value.

For many, a Ford or Chevy was their first car. These brands are woven into our culture and make up the best memories of our youth. While loyalties may differ, Ford and Chevy have fueled our love of the open road over the last century. Their competition strengthens each brand and gives us more choices to ensure we always have a ride that can handle our modern demands for style, performance, and durability. Here’s to another 100 years of progress, rivalry,and enjoyable rides.
