How Do Fuel Economy Ratings Compare Between the Ford F-150 and Chevrolet Silverado 1500?

The Ford F-150 achieves up to 25 mpg highway and 25 mpg combined when equipped with the 3.5L PowerBoost Hybrid V6 engine, outperforming the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 2.7L Turbo, which reaches 22 mpg highway.

Fuel efficiency varies across powertrain selections and drivetrain layouts for both full-size truck lineups. For standard gasoline configurations, the F-150 XL equipped with the 2.7L EcoBoost V6 in two-wheel drive delivers 19 city / 25 hwy / 21 combined MPG. Adding four-wheel drive shifts ratings on the F-150 XL 4x4 Regular Cab 6-1/2’ Box to 18 city / 23 hwy / 20 combined MPG. Specialized performance models trade fuel economy for extreme capability, with the F-150 Tremor 4x4 earning 16 city / 21 hwy / 18 combined MPG and the F-150 Raptor 4x4 returning 14 city / 18 hwy / 16 combined MPG.

The Chevrolet Silverado 1500 offers a 3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel that reaches up to 26 mpg highway on two-wheel-drive models, but its standard 2.7L four-cylinder turbo engine yields 18 city / 21 hwy on four-wheel-drive builds. The F-150 hybrid setup generates 430 hp and 570 lb-ft of torque, giving drivers a substantial advantage in horsepower and towing capability without sacrificing daily efficiency on regional highway runs toward Augusta. Shoppers evaluating efficiency and pre-owned value can inspect our selection of pre-owned trucks to find efficient hybrid and EcoBoost models ready for daily work.

Which SUV Has More Cargo Space, the Ford Explorer or Toyota Highlander?

The Ford Explorer provides up to about 86 cubic feet of maximum cargo volume behind the first row, exceeding the Toyota Highlander, which offers about 84 cubic feet of total cargo space.

Cargo flexibility behind individual seating rows remains essential for families packing gear, luggage, or sporting equipment. Behind the third-row seats, the Ford Explorer delivers about 16 cubic feet of dedicated cargo space, allowing full passenger seating while keeping bags enclosed in the rear. Folding the 50/50 split-folding third row expands rear cargo capacity to 46 cubic feet behind the second row. By comparison, the Toyota Highlander provides 16 cubic feet behind its third row and about 48 cubic feet when the third row is stowed flat.

The Ford Explorer cabin design emphasizes interior utility with standard power-folding third-row options, multi-tier cargo floor configurations, and wider rear door openings that simplify loading heavy coolers or bulky storage bins. Powered by a standard 2.3L EcoBoost I-4 engine producing 300 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque, the Explorer XLT also handles up to 5,000 lbs of towing capacity when equipped with the Class III Trailer Tow Package. Drivers searching for family-ready three-row transport can explore our certified pre-owned Ford inventory to find multi-passenger SUVs featuring factory-backed protection.

​

What Credit Score Is Typically Required for Ford Credit Approval?

Ford Credit evaluates applicants across all credit spectrums, and while tier-one prime APR offers generally target credit scores of 720 or higher, approval programs exist for applicants with subprime scores in the 500s and 600s.

Auto financing decisions depend on a comprehensive review of an applicant's financial profile rather than a single credit score figure. Underwriters assess debt-to-income ratios, employment history, consistency of monthly income, past automotive payment history, and the total loan-to-value ratio. Applicants with credit scores between 600 and 670 frequently secure competitive approvals by placing a larger down payment, which reduces the principal loan balance and lowers monthly payment obligations.

To streamline the finance approval process before visiting the dealership, buyers should gather necessary documentation in advance:

• Recent pay stubs or proof of steady income showing year-to-date earnings
• Utility bills or bank statements verifying current residential address
• Valid driver’s license and current vehicle insurance information
• Details on trade-in vehicle title status or payoff balance

Initiating pre-approval allows buyers to confirm their target monthly budget prior to selecting a vehicle trim or options package. You can start the process from home by submitting an online financing application through our secure finance portal. If you plan to trade in your current car or truck toward your purchase, you can also value your trade-in online to calculate available equity.

​

What Are the Ford Service Hours and Maintenance Costs?

Our Ford service center operates Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 7 PM and Saturday from 9 AM to 6 PM, providing factory-certified vehicle maintenance and warranty repairs.

Routine maintenance costs for Ford vehicles vary based on engine displacement, oil capacity, and synthetic oil requirements. A standard Ford oil and filter change utilizing Motorcraft synthetic blend motor oil and OEM oil filters generally ranges from $65 to $110 for standard passenger cars and light crossover SUVs. Heavy-duty diesel engines or high-capacity V8 powerplants requiring full synthetic oil and larger filter capacities may incur higher service charges.

Essential scheduled maintenance intervals for Ford vehicles include:

• 7,500 to 10,000 miles: Engine oil and filter change, tire rotation, brake pad inspection, multi-point safety inspection
• 20,000 miles: Cabin air filter replacement, fuel system inspection, steering and suspension check
• 30,000 miles: Engine air filter replacement, climate control inspection, brake fluid moisture check
• 60,000 to 100,000 miles: Transmission fluid flush, spark plug replacement, coolant drain and refill

Regular maintenance protects vehicle engine components, maintains fuel efficiency, and preserves warranty coverage. Vehicle owners can secure convenient appointment times by scheduling a service appointment online or order OEM components directly by ordering genuine Ford parts through our parts department.
