Ram 1500 vs. Chevrolet Silverado 1500

The Ram 1500 and the Silverado 1500 can each be equipped with many different performance configurations, but there’s one glaring omission not offered with the Silverado. A diesel engine provides both excellent fuel economy and the exhaust note that pickup enthusiasts love, and the Ram 1500’s diesel engine offers the following performance highlights:

• 3.0L EcoDiesel V6 Engine

• Horsepower: 240 hp

• Torque: 420 lb-ft of torque

• EPA-Estimated Fuel Economy (City): 21 mpg

• EPA-Estimated Fuel Economy (Highway): 29 mpg

Sadly, the Silverado can’t be equipped with the efficiency and performance of a diesel engine. In fact, even the Silverado’s hybrid edition doesn’t match the fuel economy numbers of the Ram 1500, only reaching 18 mpg city/24 mpg highway in EPA estimates.

On top of that, the Ram 1500 includes some exclusive features you won’t find in the Silverado 1500. Consider how the following available systems will make your daily tasks in Chaska easier and more luxurious:

• Automatic Wipers

• Self-Leveling Air Suspension

• Bilstein Shock Absorbers

• Interior Wood Trim

• Keyless Entry

As you can see, the Ram 1500 is designed to make even the simplest of tasks easier. To learn more about this pickup’s advantages over the Silverado, get in touch with Waconia DCJR.
