2021 Ford F-150 vs. 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
The Ford F-150 boasts a six-engine lineup that delivers the performance you need from your truck. The new 3.5L PowerBoost™ Full Hybrid V6 engine combines the power of gas and electric energy for optimal results.

You can also tow up to 14,000 pounds when the truck is properly equipped. You can also learn more about the Ford F-150 bed size.

2020 Ford Explorer vs. 2021 Chevrolet Traverse
Unlike the Chevy Traverse, the Ford Explorer has a powerful hybrid engine option that can offer up to 400 hp, giving you greater performance on Myrtle Beach roads. You can also expect 87.8 cubic feet of max cargo space in the Explorer. Additionally, the Explorer also has the advantage of available Ford Sync 3, which Edmunds calls “one of the easiest touchscreen tech interfaces to use.” Options like leather with quilted seats and a Sony audio system are also Explorer exclusives. They Traverse is capable of up to 5,000 pounds of towing capacity while the Explorer can tow as much as 5,600 pounds.
