2024 RAM 1500 vs. Chevrolet Silverado 1500

If you’re in the market for a new full-size pickup, you are most likely considering either the Chevy Silverado or RAM 1500. Both of these capable trucks can handle nearly any task around Albertville or adventures well beyond the Boaz area. Although both pickups feature impressive performance specs, the experts at Car & Driver gave the 2024 Silverado a respectable 8.5/10 points—not bad, but pale in comparison to the RAM 1500 pickup’s perfect 10/10.

Although the Chevy Silverado has slightly higher towing and payload capacities, the 2024 RAM 1500 has proven to be more comfortable and versatile for drivers around the Guntersville area.

RAM 1500 vs. Chevrolet Silverado 1500: Ride Quality

Ride quality is somewhat subjective, kind of like mattress firmness. However, the RAM 1500’s standard coil spring suspension absorbs road bumps better than the Silverado 1500’s leaf-spring suspension, leading to a smoother ride—which just about everyone can agree is better.

That’s not all—when you upgrade to the RAM 1500’s Air Suspension, your ride will be even smoother. Plus, you can adjust the ride height for better fuel economy on the highway and better handling on rough terrain, too.

RAM 1500 vs. Chevrolet Silverado 1500: Gas Mileage

An important consideration for many Albertville-area drivers is their truck’s fuel economy. If you’re curious as to whether the Silverado or RAM 1500 gets better gas mileage, it’s the RAM 1500 all the way. The RAM 1500 achieves up to 25 mpg on the highway standard, which is a small but noticeable improvement over the Silverado’s 22 mpg highway.

RAM 1500 vs. Chevrolet Silverado 1500: Luxury Features

While comparing pickup trucks for their luxury features might seem strange at first, as more Gadsden drivers opt for trucks for their daily commute it makes sense to look at their comfort and tech features. When deciding between the Silverado or RAM 1500, you’ll want to think about how driving in your new pickup will feel day-to-day. We’ve listed some of the key areas where the RAM 1500 is simply more luxurious than the Chevy Silverado:

• The Chevy is offered with an optional 7-speaker Bose® audio system. Choose the RAM, and you’ll have access to up to 19 speakers with the optional Harman/Kardon® setup.
• The Chevy’s optional “Multi-Flex” tailgate can transform into a step, which is great for the job site. The RAM takes a different approach with a gate that can swing down like normal or swing out to the side. Paired with the RAM’s built-in bed step, we think its tailgate design is ultimately more practical for daily use.
