Dodge Ram 2500 vs. Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Review

Utility
There's no clear winner between the Dodge Ram 2500 and the Silverado 1500 regarding transporting cargo. The Dodge Ram 2500 and the Chevrolet can accommodate the same number of passengers. The Dodge outpulls the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 by a sizeable margin.

Performance
With that kind of horsepower, both the Dodge Ram 2500 and the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 are genuine speedsters.

Dimensions
The Dodge is considerably heavier than the Chevrolet Silverado 1500. Your wallet will hurt more every time you fill up the Dodge Ram 2500 than the Silverado 1500 because of its larger tank. The Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and the Dodge Ram 2500 compete for the same parking spaces. The Chevrolet Silverado 1500's shorter wheelbase may produce a less-settled highway ride but a sprier feel in daily traffic than the Dodge.

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 2500 to the dealership as the Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The Chevrolet is significantly less expensive than the Dodge Ram 2500 when it comes to MSRP.

Handling
With its tighter turning circle, the Silverado 1500 is definitely more maneuverable than the Ram 2500, something to consider if you do a lot of city driving; however, bear in mind that a vehicle with a tight turning circle may feel a bit twitchy on the highway.

Drivetrain
The Chevrolet's engine is considerably smaller than the Dodge Ram 2500's. Keep in mind that smaller engines can be stressed more; however, smaller engines are often cheaper to fix. The Chevrolet could learn a lesson or two from the Dodge Ram 2500 in terms of pickup.

Comfort
While the front cabin in the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 offers a bit more head room than the Dodge Ram 2500, there really isn't much of a difference. The Ram 2500 provides more head- and leg-room to your passengers than the Chevrolet does.

Warranty
The Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and the Dodge have the same basic warranty.
