The Sierra 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.
Both chase luxury at the top. The Sierra has its well-known Denali and Denali Ultimate trims; the Ram counters with Limited and Tungsten, plus the class-leading ride comfort.
The Sierra starts lower, around $37,000 versus about $40,500 for the Ram, though loaded Denali and Tungsten trims land in similar territory.
Choose the Sierra for a lower entry price, a diesel, and the Denali badge. 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.
