Chevrolet Silverado vs RAM 1500

Chevrolet Silverado 1500 vs. RAM 1500

Full-size pickups are a tremendously capable asset and the rivalry between Chevrolet and Ram helps amplify the quest for more powerful, capable, and innovative trucks.  A comparison between the 2025 Chevy Silverado 1500 and the Ram 1500 shows a number of ways in which the Chevy Silverado 1500 gives you more for your money. Here's how the Chevy Silverado 1500 compares with the Ram 1500 and why the Silverado is the one to get at Dave White Chevrolet in Sylvania, OH.

Comparing engines and performance

The 2025 Chevy Silverado kicks off its engine lineup with a 2.7-liter turbocharged inline 4-cylinder engine that produces 310 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque. That's far more than the base engine in the 2025 Ram 1500 that provides only 305 horsepower and an under-powered 269 pound-feet of torque. The result is that the Chevy Silverado 1500 with the entry-level engine has a towing capacity of 9500 pounds compared with only 8110 pounds in the Ram 1500.

The 2025 Chevy Silverado gives Toledo, OH drivers another significant advantage by offering an inline 6-cylinder Duramax® diesel engine that cranks out 305 horsepower and 495 pound-feet of torque. With that power plant, the Chevy Silverado 1500 has a maximum towing capacity of 13,300 pounds. Ram, unfortunatley, doesn't offer a diesel engine and the best you can get in the 2025 Ram 1500 is a 3.0-liter Hurricane V6 that's limited to just 11,500 pounds of maximum towing capacity.

Comparing interiors and features

The 2025 Chevy Silverado gives Perrysburg, OH buyers the highest level of cargo space in its class, coming in at 89.1 cubic feet with the help of a bed that measures 8 feet 2 inches in length. The extended bed box matches well with the class-leading Durabed and 12 standard tie-downs with corners that are rated at 500 pounds. The Ram 1500 bed is only 6 feet 4 inches and comes up short of the Chevy Silverado at 61.5 cubic feet of cargo space. What's more, the new 2025 Chevy Silverado 1500 is equipped with an in-vehicle trailering app that gives Maumee, OH drivers customizable trailer profiles and advanced diagnostic tools.

Comparing technology

The newest edition of the Chevy Silverado 1500 offers an innovative camera system that gives you up to 14 views. The camera arrangment enhances your situational awareness with or without a trailer. The system offers unique views around the truck and trailer, like the amazing Transparent Trailer View that actually lets you see behind your truck, even when you have a trailer attached. Another big advantage for the Chevy Silverado 1500 is that it's the only truck in its class that offers hands-free towing, something Bedford, OH buyers can't get with the Ram 1500.

Comparing safety features

The 2025 Chevy Silverado 1500 and the Ram 1500 both provide Lambertville, OH buyers reassuring safety features like forward collision alert with automatic emergency braking, a following distance indicator, lane-keeping assist and lane departure warning. However, the Chevy Silverado 1500 gains an edge in terms of safety by giving you evasive steering and intersection collision assist as standard while the Ram 1500 makes you pay for these features as available add-ons.

Comparing value

The 2025 Chevy Silverado 1500 has a starting price that's about $3,000 less than the Ram 1500. The entry-level Chevrolet Silverado 1500 WT model gives you more value compared with the comparable entry-level Ram 1500. The Ram 1500 makes you spend more to add available upgrades that make the Tradesman more functional and better equipped. By contrast, the 2025 Chevy Silverado 1500 WT gives you a lot even at the lowest trim level with its capable Durabed that gives you the most cargo volume in the Chevy Silverado's class.
