When you check yearly sales figures and see that the Silverado is usually within 100k units of the F-150, you can say that Ford is best. But, what you don't account for then is that GM also sells the Sierra. Looking at those numbers, GM makes the best selling trucks. But, no one compares those numbers, so Ford will outsell Chevy's even though Chevy's are better trucks.
(This is the same principle used when deciding against a Firebird being brought back too...maybe GM is finally learning to not cannibalize its own brands)
Not that Chevy's are perfect. I wish GM would put the 6-speed auto into the Silverados and more power would be good too. Chevy does have a couple things going for them over Ford. Chevy's are almost always less expensive to buy, get better gas mileage, have a better warranty, and hold their value longer.
Oh, and far fewer recalls too.
