The 2026 Chevrolet Silverado EV outperforms the 2025 Ford F-150 Lightning in several key areas. The Silverado EV delivers 760 horsepower versus the Lightning's 462, and boasts 12,500 pounds of towing capacity compared to the Lightning's 10,000 pounds. Cargo bed length is dramatically longer: 10 feet, 10 inches on the Silverado EV versus just 5.5 feet on the Lightning. The Silverado EV also features available Super CruiseTM hands-free driving technology, which the F-150 Lightning doesn't offer. Inside, the Silverado EV provides more legroom and premium materials with a driver-focused design.
