As part of a much-needed halftime break in the gong show that is 2020, Ford unveiled the all-new 2021 F-150 on Thursday night. If you live in America, you're probably already aware of [how big of a deal this is](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/34328/heres-why-the-2021-ford-f-150-is-such-a-huge-deal>), but in case you aren't, Ford's F-Series range of pickup trucks is the best-selling automotive nameplate in the country. By revenue, it generates more funds than McDonald's, Nike, Coca-Cola, and Starbucks.

With a new F-150 come the inevitable comparisons to its two domestic arch-rivals, namely, the [Ram 1500](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/29662/2020-ram-1500-and-hd-get-sporty-new-looks-colors-and-night-edition-package>) and [Chevy Silverado](<https://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/22662/2019-chevrolet-silverado-first-drive-review-the-peoples-chevy-picks-up-changes-big-and-small>). While this week's reveal detailed the new Ford's [not-that-different-than-before styling](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/34247/its-evolution-over-revolution-for-the-all-new-2021-ford-f-150>), available hybrid powertrain, flat-folding Max Recline seats, and hands-free driving capabilities, the company frustratingly hasn't released many specs on the new F-150 that aren't measured in inches. [Price](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/34333/heres-how-much-the-ford-f-150-has-increased-in-price-over-the-decades>), horsepower, torque, towing, payload, curb weight, and fuel economy figures are all being saved for a later date. Y'know, the deets truck people actually care about.

So, without further ado, here's how the all-new 2021 Ford F-150 numerically stacks up against its main competitors. All figures represent crew cab trucks with 4x4, entry-level V8s, and 6.5-foot beds.

Wish we had more specs for the F-150? Yeah, we do too.
