Chevy Silverado 1500 vs. RAM 1500

While sedans and SUVs have their place, sometime only a pickup truck will do. This is especially true when you need a vehicle for heavy-duty tasks. If you’re shopping for a new pickup, check out this side-by-side car comparison of the Chevy Silverado 1500 and RAM 1500 in two important categories:

Towing

If you’ll need a truck for towing, the Chevy Silverado 1500 won’t disappoint. When properly equipped, it can tow up to 13,300 pounds, which is an outstanding number.

You can also get your truck equipped with a trailer sway controller and a multicamera trailer system. The best the RAM 1500 can do in terms of towing is 12,750 pounds.

Tech

Besides being a rugged workhorse, the Chevy Silverado 1500 also comes with many standard tech features. In addition to a user-friendly infotainment system with a 7-inch touchscreen, you will get:

• Apple CarPlay®

• Android Auto™

• 2 USB ports

• Bluetooth®

You can also get:

• HD and satellite radio

• Navigation

• Remote start

Smartphone connectivity isn’t a standard feature in the RAM 1500, as it requires an upgrade. Plus, the standard infotainment system touchscreen is on the small side, measuring in at only five inches.

A Test Drive Can Be Your Ultimate Decider
