RAM 1500 vs. Silverado 1500: Performance

These pickup trucks are top competitors for a reason, but when you compare their performance, you’ll see why the new 2019 RAM 1500 comes out on top:

• RAM 1500: The base level engine on the RAM 1500 is a powerful V6 that delivers an impressive 305 hp. Or, if you’d like to upgrade, you can get a 5.7L HEMI® V8 that will amp up your horsepower to 395. When properly equipped, the RAM 1500 maximum towing capacity is 12,750 pounds.
• Silverado 1500: The Silverado offers a significantly lower horsepower of 285 at the base level, generated by a V6 engine. With its most powerful engine, the Silverado 1500 can tow up to 12,500 pounds.

If you want to haul your equipment to Bartonville in one go, it’s clear which truck will get you there.

RAM 1500 vs. Silverado 1500: Cargo Management

What’s under the hood is important, but it’s not the only thing that matters. With the RAM 1500, you’ll get these organizational interior cargo features:

• Reconfigurable Center Console: Rework your console to what best suits your needs so you’ll never be searching for your belongings.
• RAMBox® Cargo Management System: This feature is not standard, but it’s worth the upgrade. You’ll get two boxes built-in to your bed, and the best part is they are lockable, drainable, weather-proof, and brightly lit by LEDs.

The Silverado 1500 simply doesn’t offer such features.

RAM 1500 vs. Silverado 1500: Interior Features

The RAM 1500 and the Silverado 1500 both stay up-to-date with technology features such as Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto®, but RAM offers a few more features that you won’t get with the Silverado:

• Uconnect® 4C NAV: Safely make and receive phone calls with hands-free voice command. You’ll also enjoy a one-year SiriusXM™ All Access Package free trial, and you’ll never get lost thanks to 3D maps with Uconnect® Navigation.
• 12-inch touchscreen: This available touchscreen is largest-in-class, and you can customize the home screen much like you would a smartphone.
• Harman Kardon® Premium Audio System: This available 900-watt sound system is the most powerful in its class.

You might think pickup trucks are only meant to be tough and hard-working, but with the RAM 1500, you’ll never have to compromise on luxury when you’re driving around the Macomb area.
