Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Chevrolet Silverado 2500 is somewhat more expensive than the Ford F-150.

Dimensions
Since the Chevrolet Silverado 2500 is much wider than the Ford F-150, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. For some people, bigger is better.

Handling
The Chevrolet Silverado 2500 has a larger turning radius than the Ford F-150, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.
