The new Chevrolet Silverado truck looks good, there's no two ways about it. And while that's important, it's just one of the many things truck buyers consider when making a decision, so let's take a look at what's under the hood. The new Chevy Silverado truck features a 401-horsepower, 6.6L V8 Gas engine with a 10-speed automatic transmission.
How does that stack up against the Ram 2500HD? The new Dodge Ram truck features a 6.4L V8 HEMI HD Engine that can tow up to 15,220 pounds (compared to 16,000 pounds for the Chevy Silverado). The trade-off is the fuel economy. Overall, both trucks get similar performance and gas mileage.
The new RAM 2500 also has similar cargo space than it's competitor but offers unique storage solutions with the Rambox. Imagine all the additional stuff you can take with you that you otherwise would be forced to leave behind making the experience so much less enjoyable.

The infotainment systems of both vehicles is also similar (Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and USB ports come standard) but the Chevy Silverado truck has a bigger touch screen.
So you may be thinking, with so many similarities does it really matter which truck I choose. The key reason to buy the Ram 2500 is the superior ride quality and passenger space. There's no reason to feel like you're driving in an old wagon when you take on your tasks. With many customers using their truck for towing boats, campers and the like on long trips, comfort is everything. The Ram 2500 will provide more of it than the Silverado HD.
So what's the verdict? We know we have some bias here but the RAM 2500 truck is a better deal for the money. While both are quality trucks, the RAM is the winner for us. The new Silverado truck from Chevrolet is a good truck but we think that you shouldn't settle for less.
