Two of the most celebrated American automotive powerhouses have to be Ford and Chevy, which has led many auto enthusiasts around Camp Lejeune and Richlands to lively debates. Which is better, Ford or Chevy cars? Which truck is better, Ford or Chevy? We’ve done the research, and we’re here to help you determine which is the better buy for your Sneads Ferry driving needs.

 

 

Ford vs. Chevy: Warranty

Which is better, the Ford or Chevy warranty? A good warranty will not only give you peace of mind on your everyday commute, but it can help save you money from unexpected costs. And if great coverage is a deciding factor in your purchase, you’ll be happy to know that the Chevy warranty includes 40,000 miles of additional powertrain coverage compared to Ford. See the two head to head below: 

  • Chevy Powertrain Warranty: 5 years / 100,000 miles
  • Ford Powertrain Warranty: 5 years / 60,000 miles

Chevy vs. Ford: Reliability

Which is better, Ford or Chevy reliability? J.D.Power and Associates conducted their Vehicle Dependability Study, measuring the number of problems during the first 90s days of vehicle ownership and over three years. Chevy vehicles fared far better than Ford models with 115 problems per 100 vehicles. Ford owners reported 146 problems per 100 vehicles – or over 30 extra issues for Ford owners.

Ford vs. Chevy: Hybrids and EVs

Which is better, Ford or Chevy hybrids? Chevy again has the advantage for multiple reasons. First, the Chevy Bolt is one of the most affordable hybrids available anywhere with one of the longest ranges as well. Additionally, Chevy has a long history in the hybrid market with the debut of the Hybrid Tahoe back in 2007! That’s far more time perfecting hybris and EV models compared to the Ford.

Which Truck is Better, Ford or Chevy?

Finally, which truck is better between Ford or Chevy? The Ford F-150 and Chevy Silverado are two of the most popular pickups around, but the Silverado is in a league of its own. J.D. Power and Associates gave the 2021 Silverado a perfect 5-star reliability rating, while the 2021 F-150 didn’t quite make the cut at just 4.5 stars. Beyond the reliability, the Chevy Silverado is also a better choice than the Ford F-150 if you’re interested in diesel performance. The Silverado maintains its Duramax® 6.6L turbo-diesel V8 in 2022, while the Ford lineup discontinued their diesel option in 2021.
