The year 2024 begins electrifyingly with one of the most anticipated duels in the automotive segment: the triumphant entry of the Chevrolet Silverado into the Brazilian market in December of 2023 intensified the rivalry with the already established RAM 1500 and the newly arrived Ford F-150, transforming the competition into a spectacle of power and innovation. In this in-depth comparison, we explore every aspect of these three machines to find out which one takes the crown as the undisputed leader in terms of power, efficiency and luxury.
Rise of the RAM 1500: Dominating with power
The RAM 1500, launched in Brazil in December 2020, quickly became a milestone in the pickup truck segment, attracting attention with its Rebel version and, later, with the introduction of the luxurious Limited version. Equipped with a 8 V5.7 engine, which generates up to 400 hp of power and 56,7 kgfm of torque, this pickup not only set a high standard, but also prepared the ground for the arrival of its competitors.

Chevrolet Silverado: The new contender
The Chevrolet Silverado entered the arena in December 2023, bringing a different proposal with its 8 V5.4 engine with 360 hp and 53 kgfm. Less powerful than its competitors, the pickup compensates with DFM technology (Dynamic Fuel Management), which optimizes fuel use, resulting in more efficient consumption. Although it is the least powerful of the three, the Silverado draws attention for its advanced technology and efficiency, standing out in crucial aspects such as consumption and comfort.
Track performance: Acceleration and agility
On the test track, agility and acceleration become decisive factors. The F-150 and RAM 1500 demonstrate a slight advantage over the Silverado in terms of acceleration, with the F-150 leading the race. The difference, although small, becomes significant in everyday use, especially in overtaking situations and driving on highways.
In acceleration tests, the F-150 and RAM 1500 demonstrate an advantage over the Silverado, with the F-150 leading the race from 0 to 100 km/h in just 7,5 seconds. The RAM 1500 follows closely with 7,6 seconds, while the Silverado completes the route in 8,6 seconds.
Ford stands out in fuel efficiency:
With regard to fuel efficiency, the Ford F-150 stands out with the best consumption averages, followed closely by the Chevrolet Silverado, whose DFM system plays a crucial role. The RAM 1500, with its added size and weight, lags a bit behind, but still offers respectable numbers for a pickup of its caliber.
Interior comfort and onboard technology are aspects where the Chevrolet Silverado shines. With a remarkably quiet interior and an advanced infotainment system, the Silverado offers an experience of luxury and connectivity. The RAM 1500 and Ford F-150 also don't disappoint, providing a comfortable cabin and a series of technological features that ensure safety and entertainment while driving.
Off-Road capabilities, space and technology
Off-road capability is a critical factor for many pickup truck enthusiasts. In this regard, the Ford F-150 and Chevrolet Silverado offer off-road packages specific, while the RAM 1500, with its adjustable air suspension, offers a comfortable ride that is adaptable to different terrains.
Internal space and cargo capacity are fundamental in pickup trucks. The Chevrolet Silverado leads in terms of cargo capacity, while the RAM 1500 and Ford F-150 offer generous, practical interior space suitable for both work and play.
Connectivity and onboard technology are aspects where the Chevrolet Silverado stands out, especially with its built-in Google system. The other two pickup trucks also offer advanced systems, but the Silverado has the advantage with its unique integration and features.
Price: The cost of excellence
When evaluating cost-benefit, it is essential to consider the price of each model in relation to its offerings. The Ford F-150 and Chevrolet Silverado have similar prices at approximately R$519.990, while the RAM 1500 is slightly more expensive, costing R$535.990. However, each model justifies its price with a distinct set of features and capabilities.
The final verdict: Who wins the crown, Chevrolet Silverado, RAM 1500 or Ford F-150?
We have reached the culmination of this epic confrontation. The Ford F-150 emerges as the winner, combining superior performance, fuel efficiency and versatility. The Chevrolet Silverado, with its advanced technology and superior comfort, takes second place, and the RAM 1500, with its robustness and luxury, completes the podium. The Ford F-150, therefore, stands out not only for its impressive engine, but also for its economy and versatility, solidifying its place as the undisputed leader of this monumental pickup truck duel.
