Long-haul drivers need more than power in a pickup. Before heading to the dealership, learn which trucks combine comfort, convenience, and capability to make those long trips in style.
Truck buyers can find plenty of powerful pickups at almost any dealership. Which of them has what it takes to get long-haul drivers and their cargo comfortably?
To answer that question, let’s look at the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 High Country and how it compares to competitors like the Ford F-150 Platinum and RAM 1500 Limited.
Power to Tackle Even Long, Tough Jobs
Whether drivers are towing trailers on vacation or hauling goods long distances for work, they need trucks with power to get the job done right. Ideally, truck buyers should have options when it comes to powertrains.
In the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 High Country, drivers can choose from three gas engines or a Duramax 3.0L Turbo-Diesel, the only diesel engine in its class.
The Ford F-150 Platinum offers a hybrid model featuring its 3.5L PowerBoost V6. In the RAM 1500 Limited, drivers can choose from three different engines, including two versions of the automaker’s Hurricane I-6.
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems
Drivers and their passengers should feel safe and at ease whenever they get in their vehicles, but safety becomes even more critical on longer rides. The Chevy Silverado 1500 comes standard with Chevy Safety Assist, which includes six essential driver assistance features. The High Country model also offers additional advanced safety tech and eight cameras with up to 14 views.
The Ford F-150 Platinum and RAM 1500 Limited also have basic driver assistance features like cross-traffic alerts in the Ford and forward collision mitigation in the RAM. However, advanced features don’t come standard.
The Silverado 1500 High Country offers one crucial feature that is unavailable through Ford or RAM. It offers Chevrolet’s SuperCruise hands-free driver assistance package. SuperCruise manages speed and steering on compatible roads and is the most advanced hands-free driving system in its class.
Which Trucks Deliver Total Comfort for the Long Haul?
Few things are worse than making a long trip in an uncomfortable cab with cheap plastic materials. Luxury pickups like the Chevy Silverado 1500 High Country feature premium leather surfaces and authentic open-pore wood trim for extra comfort and class.
In addition to the quality of the materials, pay attention to whether the truck has heated and ventilated seats, automatic temperature control, wireless charging, and other premium features. They all make a difference after long hours on the open road.
