Do you need a light-duty pickup truck to help supplement your business? Do you just like the feeling that driving in a ready-to-conquer-the-world vehicle gives you? While there are several trucks you can consider for those purposes, some are better than others. Martin CDJR has compared one of our most popular pickup trucks, the 2015 Ram 1500, with its common competitor, the 2015 Chevy Silverado 1500, to help Union Grove, WI area drivers select their perfect vehicle.
For the purposes of this comparison, we'll be looking at the 2015 Ram 1500 Crew Cab with 2WD and the 2015 Chevy Silverado 1500 LT Crew Cab 2WD.
2015 Ram 1500 SLT vs. 2015 Chevy Silverado 1500: Power & Performance
When drivers in the Union Grove, WI area choose the 2015 Ram 1500, they'll get a truck that can withstand just about any condition. A 3.6L V6 engine with an 8-speed transmission powers the Ram 1500 over even the toughest terrain and leaves the Silverado in its dust.
- The Ram 1500's size doesn't hold it back because it gets 305 HP @ 6,400 RPM. It's too bad the Chevy Silverado only gets 285 HP @ 5,300 RPM.
- You'll get 25 MPG on the highway in the Ram 1500, but only 24 MPG in the Silverado.
- The Ram 1500 gets a highway driving range of up to 754 miles while the Chevy gets only up to 624 miles.
2015 Ram 1500 vs. 2015 Chevy Silverado 1500: Capability
No matter what you need to tow and haul, the Ram 1500 has your back. Sure, you can choose the Silverado 1500, but it won't be nearly as capable and reliable as the 2015 Ram 1500 to withstand Union Grove, WI roads.
- With a max payload of 1,851 lbs., take along the family plus whatever you need to throw in the Ram 1500's bed. The Chevy Silverado is only capable of a 1,800 lbs. payload.
- The 2015 Ram 1500 has a maximum towing weight of 7,550 lbs., but the 2015 Chevy Silverado only has a maximum of 5,600 lbs.
- A combination of Trailer Sway Control, Hill Start Assist, and an integrated trailer hitch help make much more of an impact of how much the Ram 1500 can haul and tow.
2015 Ram 1500 vs. 2015 Chevy Silverado 1500: Interior
Just because the Ram 1500 gets dirty and works hard doesn't mean the interior has to match. Elegant touches and advanced technologies are plentiful in the 2015 Ram 1500 and greatly outweigh the 2015 Chevy Silverado's available features.- The incomparable Uconnect infotainment system with voice-activation is available in the 2015 Ram 1500. The 2015 Chevy Silverado is available with a different infotainment system.
- The 2015 Ram 1500 has been completely redesigned for optimal comfort and class, including real wood accents and leather upholstery. The 2015 Silverado seems to have remained the same.
- For easier shifting, the Ram 1500 comes with a rotary shifter. Unfortunately, the Chevy Silverado 1500 does not offer this advanced feature.
On top of all the incredible features the Ram 1500 delivers, it's slated at an MSRP of $36,170. The 2015 Silverado has an MSRP of $37,485 and doesn't offer nearly as many awesome features as the Ram 1500.
