Ford 150 versus competition

The New Ford F-150 Rises Above Its Rivals in Chesaning, MI

Pickup trucks are exceedingly popular in Chesaning, MI because of their utility and convenience. Today's trucks are versatile enough that you can use them for everything from towing a horse trailer to commuting in the city. The new Ford F-150 is still the best in its class for towing and hauling, and it's now available with a new Rattler off-roading package.

The Chevy Silverado 1500, the Ram 1500, and the GMC Sierra 1500 are also full-size, light-duty trucks, but they can't match the F-150's capability. Mel Ervin Ford has the F-150 in our new inventory, and financing is available to help you acquire it.
