How does our new Chevy Silverado 1500 compare to the Ram 1500?
Whether you hail from Savannah or Fort Stewart, it's no secret that pickup trucks are some of the most popular vehicles out there for Georgia drivers. Whether you're looking for something strong and stylish that'll turn heads while you're out on the town with family or tailgating with friends or a powerful pickup that'll aid you at work every day, there's nothing out there like the new Chevy Silverado 1500.
Of course, the Chevy Silverado 1500 is a half-ton pickup truck, which means that it competes directly against rivals from the Ram brand like the Ram 1500. And if you're looking to explore which of these two pickups is the best fit for your lifestyle, we'd love to invite you to visit us here at Mike Reed Chevrolet to browse our new Chevy truck inventory and take a test drive in the new Chevy Silverado 1500 today.
Performance
One of the key differences between the new Chevy Silverado 1500 and the Ram 1500 can be found under the hood.
For starters, when you compare the standard powertrain of the Chevy Silverado 1500 with that of the Ram 1500, you'll see that the former offers more standard horsepower than the latter. So, if you're looking for a pickup with the power to get you around the greater Jesup area right out of the gate, choose the new Chevy Silverado 1500.
Plus, it's worth noting that the new Chevy Silverado 1500 has a more diverse array of powertrain options than the Ram 1500. With powerful gasoline and turbo-diesel engine options, the Chevy Silverado 1500 is considerably more flexible than the Ram 1500, which recently ditched its diesel engine options in favor of its lineup of Hurricane gasoline engines, which have received middling reviews at best.
Capability
While there's a minor discrepancy between the standard horsepower offerings of the new Chevy Silverado 1500 and the Ram 1500, there's a clear difference in the capabilities that each model offers.
For example, if you're like a lot of drivers around the Pooler area, then you might have a boat that you take on fishing trips, a travel trailer for family vacations, or even a utility trailer that you take along to work at different jobsites. That means that you need a pickup truck with the power to tow heavy loads. Luckily, the new Chevy Silverado 1500 can confidently tow up to 13,300 pounds when properly equipped. By comparison, a new Ram 1500 can only tow up to 11,550 pounds, making it a much weaker option than the new Chevy Silverado 1500.
Cargo Space
While the new Ram 1500 may offer up to 61.5 cubic-feet of cargo space in its long bed, it pales in comparison to the cargo capacity of the new Chevy Silverado 1500 with its innovative DuraBed design. In fact, with up to 89.1 cubic-feet of cargo spae, you'll have much more room for tools and gear in the new Chevy Silverado 1500 than you would with the new Ram 1500
Technology
Both the new Chevy Silverado 1500 and Ram 1500 can be had with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, but only the new Chevy Silverado 1500 boasts standard support for wireless connectivity of those technologies, making it easier to stay connected in the Chevy Silverado 1500 than it is with its Ram rival.
