Looking for a new truck in Tallahassee? You’ve probably thought about one common comparison: the 2021 Chevy Silverado vs. RAM 1500. So, which is best for you? Dale Earnhardt Jr. Chevrolet covers the important details in the 2021 Chevy Silverado vs. RAM 1500 comparison below.

RAM 1500 vs. Silverado 1500: Engines and Performance

One of the first major things that Crawfordville drivers consider in any RAM 1500 vs. Silverado 1500 comparison are the engine options. Whether you want to go on trailering adventures outside of Quincy or use your truck for tough jobs, you’ll need responsive performance. Here are the engine options that come with each truck:

 

2021 RAM 1500 vs. Silverado 1500 Engines: 

  • Horsepower: The base V6 on the RAM 1500 is slightly more powerful than the base V6 of the Silverado 1500. But if you want to max out your horsepower, the 420-hp top engine on the Silverado is your choice.
  • Torque: Torque is important for towing, so go with the 305 lb-ft of torque on the Silverado 1500 over the 269 lb-ft of torque on the RAM 1500.
  • Transmission: The RAM 1500 has a standard 8-speed automatic transmission. The same kind of transmission is available on the Silverado.
  • Towing Capacity: The Silverado has a max towing capacity of 13,300 pounds with its V8 engine, while the RAM 1500 towing capacity maxes out at just 12,750 pounds.

It’s the powerful engine and robust performance of the Silverado 1500 that makes it stand out when compared to the RAM 1500 and Ford F-150.
