Tough work calls for a tough truck, and the American full-size truck market is home to intense competition. The Silverado 1500 and RAM 1500 are long-time rivals in the pickup arena, as they both pack serious muscle under the hood. Which truck delivers all the capability and quality that you’re looking for? Let’s compare some essential factors to find out.
Trucks are measured by their ability to get the job done no matter how challenging it gets, and the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 has earned drivers’ trust with impressive horsepower and torque. The Chevy also delivers incredible towing ability, allowing you to pull heavy payloads with confidence. When the 2021 Silverado 1500 is fully equipped for trailering, it can tow up to 13,300. That’s hundreds more than the 2021 RAM 1500’s maximum towing capacity.
A high-powered machine doesn’t have to cost a high price, and Chevrolet keeps their hearty Silverado affordable with an approachably low starting price for the full-size truck class. Even if you opt for the upscale Silverado High Country at the top of the truck’s trim range, you’ll still find that the Silverado asks a relatively low price for a top trim in the pickup market. Even though it tows less, the RAM costs more than its competitor, and its top trim doubles the price.
You can equip either truck with a variety of handy tech tools, but the individual options and interface varies from model to model. The Silverado makes accessing your features easy with its responsive 7-inch touchscreen, while the RAM’s standard screen is notably smaller. Both trucks can be equipped with a range of driver assistance options, and while a rearview camera comes standard on each truck, only the Silverado comes with the Teen Driver program. This safety system lets you set speed and volume limits any time you hand the keys to a secondary driver.
