The Silverado offers a diesel and tows up to 13,300 pounds, ahead of the Ram’s 11,610. The Ram answers with the returning HEMI V8 and a 540-horsepower Hurricane High Output, the strongest engine of the pair.
The Ram 1500 leads on ride comfort and interior quality, with a coil-spring rear and available air suspension. The Silverado is a capable, roomy truck with a wide range of configurations.
The Silverado starts a bit lower, around $39,695 versus about $40,500 for the Ram. Trim and engine choices matter more than the small base difference.
Choose the Silverado for a diesel option and slightly more towing. Choose the Ram 1500 for the HEMI V8, a stronger top engine, and a smoother ride. At ALM CDJR Perry, a new Ram 1500 can add ALM VIP Club benefits and our Included Lifetime Warranty on qualifying vehicles.
