The standard engine of the 2020 Chevy Silverado is a 285 horsepower, 4.3L V6 that runs on regular gas. Note, however, that you can also upgrade this to a 355-horsepower 5.3 L V8 if you prefer. This runs contrary to the 290-horsepower 3.3 L V6 that comes standard on the 2020 Ford F-150, which can be upgraded to a 325-horsepower 2.7 L V6. As was true with the 2020 Chevy Silverado, the Ford F-150 engines also run on regular gasoline.

Dimensions
The 2020 Chevy Silverado and the Ford F-150 may look similar, but when you break things down by their dimensions, it becomes clear that looks can be deceiving.
