Ram 1500 vs. Chevy Silverado 1500
Ram might be one of the biggest names in the pickup truck market, but Chevrolet is one of the oldest names around - period. With that in mind, it should be no surprise that Chevy knows how to make a rock-solid truck. That doesn't answer the question of whether the Silverado 1500 is a better truck than the Ram 1500, however!
The Chevrolet Silverado 1500 does boast some advantages. Its truck bed offers up to 72 cubic feet and a classic design that draws from Chevy's long lineage of popular trucks. The Silverado 1500's performance and towing abilities fall short of the Ram 1500's, however. While a properly-equipped Silverado 1500 can produce up to 310 horsepower compared to the Ram 1500's 305 horsepower, its towing capacity falls well short of Ram's truck. The Ram 1500 delivers up to 12,750 pounds of towing capacity. The Chevy Silverado 1500, by comparison, can only tow up to 9,100 pounds, performing at its peak.
The Ram 1500 also impresses with its interior features and options. The Chevy Silverado 1500 is no slouch and offers a wealth of amenities. The Ram 1500, on the other hand, has won an array of awards praising it for its family-friendly design. If you want a truck that can handle your toughest jobs and then double as the family car? The Ram 1500 is the new model you need.
