Neither brand gets away with zero maintenance. In fact, no vehicle brand in the world can claim that. So which one is cheaper regarding repairs? In a report put together by Four Wheel Trends, they found that the annual repair cost for a Ford F-150 is an average of about $800. This puts Ford roughly twenty-five percent higher than the average yearly car repair maintenance costs.
By contrast, the Chevy Silverado 1500 came in $100 lower than the average annual repair cost for a Ford F-150. While still slightly above the average yearly maintenance costs for all vehicles, it does come in a solid ten percent lower than Ford as a whole.
An additional finding from RepairPal came quite close to the two vehicles’ average costs. It also found that the frequency of Chevy repairs was lower than Ford. That’s coming in at a rate of 0.23, closer to repairs required less often. Whereas the Ford F-150 came in at 0.28, resulting in more annual repair shop visits.
