The blue oval of Ford and the gold bowtie of Chevrolet are two of the most iconic logos in the automotive industry, evoking images of power, strength and unrelenting adrenaline. This is especially evident with the two pickup legends that either manufacturer produces – the Ford F-150 and Chevrolet Silverado 1500 have a rivalry that stretches back through the generations, which has forced each of them to grow and adapt to be more powerful and innovative than not only each other, but the rest of the class.
