Looking for a versatile and capable pickup truck to help you tow and haul from Bryan, OH to Fort Wayne, IN? The Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is worthy of a closer look. This longtime fan favorite has been turning heads for decades, the Jim Schmidt Chevrolet in Hicksville, OH can help you get acquainted with the current lineup and set you up with a test drive of your own.
While the Chevy Silverado 1500 has been a go-to for many drivers for years, we know that it's not the only full-sized pickup in its class that's vying for your attention. Other brand names also produce highly customizable and popular pickup trucks as well, such as the Ram 1500.
To help you understand some of the reasons why we believe the Chevy Silverado 1500 is the way to go for your commute, we've compared it side by side, next to the Ram 1500. As you'll learn, while the two appear to have a lot in common when it comes to surface attributes, when you dive a little deeper, they differ in a number of key areas.
2023 Chevy Silverado 1500 vs. 2023 Ram 1500
- Cab styles and size. When personalizing the 2023 Chevy Silverado 1500 for your Defiance, OH trips, this impressive pickup has not one, not two, but three distinct cab style options to choose from. These include a four-door crew cab, four-door extended cab, and two-door regular cab. However, the Ram 1500 has one less cab style option available, as it doesn't include the two-door regular cab among its list of options. Not only that, but regardless of which Silverado 1500 cab you choose, you'll be more comfortable and have more room to stretch out in than you would in the Ram 1500, because our Chevy model has a front seat that's more spacious and has extra headroom and legroom.
- Power and performance. With multiple engines and powertrains available for both pickup trucks, the Chevy Silverado 1500 delivers more power and a greater torque across all models than the Ram 1500. For example, where the Ram 1500 starts out its lineup with a V6 engine that produces 305 horsepower and 269 pound-feet of torque, the Chevy Silverado 1500 starts things off with a turbocharged four-cylinder engine and it produces 310 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque. From there, both trucks climb in terms of options and output, but the Silverado 1500 manages to produce more oomph and greater power along the way.
- Standard and optional features. When you want a new pickup truck that delivers all the features and bells and whistles that you're looking for, the Chevy Silverado 1500 is the way to go. Every Silverado 1500 trim level comes standard with amenities that are not standard with the Ram 1500, including smartphone integration and a keyless ignition. Plus, there is a greater number of optional amenities that are available on lower trims for the Chevy as well, such as Wi-Fi capability.
