Ohio drivers love pickup trucks and, at Jim Schmidt Chevrolet of Delphos, we're proud to be the area's trusted dealership for one of the best pickup trucks around – the Chevy Silverado 1500. To demonstrate what makes our truck the best you can buy, we've compared it side by side with the Ram 1500. Read on to learn more and stop by for your next test drive, soon.
To begin our side-by-side examination of these two trucks, we looked at the level of power that each one has to offer. Both models have four distinct powertrain options available, with a range of performance outputs and types of engines included in the lineup, including diesel power, V8 gas power, and more. However, the Chevy Silverado has a greater output across the board than the Ram. Not only does it start out with more power, producing 430 pound-feet of torque at its base, compared to 269 pound-feet of torque for the base Ram 1500, but it also tops out with a higher performance output for its top-of-the-line engine.
There is one engine for the Ram 1500 that's more powerful than the Chevy Silverado 1500 options. However, that's only available on one trim level, versus the wide availability of Silverado engines, which are all currently available as options across multiple trims.
The Chevy Silverado 1500 is a classic, full-sized truck and the engineers at Chevy know that drivers from St. Marys, OH to Wapakoneta, OH like choices when they're personalizing their new vehicles. As such, this truck is available in three great cab styles, letting you decide the number of seats and interior space that best suits your needs. Comparatively, the Ram 1500 is only available with two cab options, giving you less opportunity for personalization.
Not only does the Silverado 1500 have more cab styles available, but it also has more interior space as well. Regardless of which Chevy cab you choose, you can expect more room to stretch out in than in the Ram 1500, especially in the front seat, where our pickup has four extra inches of legroom standard than the competition.
