See Why the Ford F-150 is the Best Bet for a Midsized Pickup Truck

When you're looking at midsized pickup trucks, you're going to see plenty of options. Obviously we here at our Windber, PA Ford dealership serving Johnstown, Altoona, Ebensburg and Bedford have our preferred choice in our favorite brand's iconic flagship truck, but we understand why you'll want to carefully consider all your options. With that thought in mind, we're showing why the new 2017 Ford F-150 is going to prove to be your best option.

Now, even among a wide selection of F-Series trucks of varying sizes and capabilities, the F-150 can come in several different setups. You have three cab configurations and two bed sizes to choose from, you can opt for 2WD or 4WD, and there are several engine options to consider as well. The amount of options available for your new truck here are endless, making the F-150 already a great choice.

To give you an idea about how it stacks up to the competition, we're comparing the new F-150 to another popular midsized pickup, the 2017 Chevy Silverado 1500. This quick comparison shows the base-level, regular cab, 6 1/2-foot bed trucks, so keep in mind that changing things up for either will change the bottom line price.

2017 Ford F-150 vs. 2017 Chevy Silverado 1500

• At the base levels, the F-150 comes in at a slightly lower price compared to the Silverado 1500. This will give you more wiggle room to upgrade your truck with more features and added capability while sticking to a tighter budget.
• When considering options beyond the base level, you'll be pleased with four available F-150 engines, compared to only three offered in the Silverado 1500.
• The Ford F-150 is rated at having a heavier payload capacity than the Chevy Silverado 1500, and by about 1,000 pounds, which is considerable.
• Furthermore, at the base levels, the F-150 is rated to tow considerably more than the Silverado 1500, giving you more capability at its most affordable option.
• The many trim levels, special features and available cab amenities found in the F-150 are far more comprehensive than what's offered throughout the Silverado 1500 lineup. You'll want to visit us in Windber for a closer look at all your available F-150 options.
