Dodge Ram 1500 vs. GMC Sierra 1500 Review

Performance
With that kind of horsepower, both the Dodge Ram 1500 and the GMC Sierra 1500 are true sportscars.

Handling
With their comparable turning radii, the Dodge Ram 1500 and the GMC Sierra 1500 quite certainly handle about the same into and out of tight spots.

Drivetrain
The Dodge Ram 1500's engine is substantially smaller than the GMC Sierra 1500's. Keep in mind that a smaller engine usually has to work a little harder; on the other hand, smaller engines are often cheaper to fix. The GMC Sierra 1500 packs quite a punch compared to the Dodge Ram 1500 as far as torque, which is roughly equivalent to acceleration. Torque equals pickup, and the GMC will have picked up and gone by the time the Dodge Ram 1500 finally gets moving.

Utility
The GMC Sierra 1500's more massive trunk will accommodate more big items than the Ram 1500. Neither the Dodge Ram 1500 nor the GMC Sierra 1500 has a marked advantage when it comes to seating capacity. There's no clear winner between the Dodge and the GMC Sierra 1500 when it comes to hauling capacity. Towing is significantly more the GMC's forte than it is the Ram 1500's.

Convenience
You'll quite certainly take the Dodge Ram 1500 for a fill-up almost as often as the GMC Sierra 1500.

Comfort
While the front cabin in the GMC Sierra 1500 offers a bit more head room than the Dodge Ram 1500, there frankly isn't much of a difference. The ampler interior dimensions of the Ram 1500 make it substantially more spacious for your passengers than the GMC Sierra 1500.

Dimensions
The Dodge's tank is approximately the same size as the GMC Sierra 1500's, though the GMC Sierra 1500's is a tad larger. The GMC Sierra 1500 and the Dodge Ram 1500 compete for the same parking spaces.

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs about the same to get the Dodge Ram 1500 to the dealership as the GMC. The Ram 1500 doesn't pale in comparison to the Sierra 1500 when it comes to gas mileage. Regarding MSRP, the GMC costs about as much as the Dodge Ram 1500 (though the Dodge Ram 1500 is a little cheaper).

Warranty
The GMC Sierra 1500 and the Dodge Ram 1500 have the same basic after-sale protection.
