Ram 1500 vs Chevy Silverado

Chevy Silverado vs Ram 1500: Interior

The Ram and Chevy pickups offer cabin amenities worthy of the title if you’re looking for a truly luxurious truck. The Silverado looks sharp in 2-tone Jet Black and Umber leather. Meanwhile, your Ram 1500 Rebel trim takes adventurous tones with Black and Ruby Red interior colors.

Another valuable cabin feature in the Ram 1500? The available 12-inch Uconnect 5C® touchscreen. It sits in portrait mode and includes a split-screen view so that you can display your maps and audio info at the same time! The standard 8-inch diagonal touchscreen in the Silverado lacks the same modern capability.

Silverado vs Ram 1500: Towing Capacity

When adventure calls and you need to hitch up that boat or camper trailer, the Ram 1500 and Chevrolet Silverado are more than game. Each can tow at least 12,750 pounds when properly equipped, so expect your excursion to go off without (or, actually, with) a hitch!

These pickups can be customized to meet the exact capacities you need with various engines to choose from. The Ram offers five engine options, including the 3.6L Pentastar® V6 and the 5.7L HEMI® V8 to a powerfully efficient 3.0L EcoDiesel V6. The Chevy also offers V8 and diesel powertrain options.

The Ram 1500 does have a slight payload advantage: It can haul up to 2,300 pounds. The max payload of the Chevy Silverado is a bit lower at 2,280 pounds.

Your Pickup Bed: Multifunction Tailgate

The 2022 Ram 1500 is well known for its available multifunction tailgate. The 2022 Chevy Silverado has its own version, but the Ram 1500 gives you a little bit more.

How does it work? The 60/40 split swing-away doors open to 88 degrees. Close and latch them together, and they’ll swing down in unison like a traditional tailgate. However, when you swing them to the sides, you can access the truck bed directly—no more leaning over the tailgate!

Flanking both sides of the Ram 1500 truck are the available RamBox® Cargo Management System boxes. These lockable, weatherproof, and drainable storage boxes can be loaded with small gear—or filled with ice to chill drinks for the tailgate.
