When it comes to trucks, most drivers are looking for a model that can haul and tow great payloads while simultaneously providing a comfortable driving experience. Two pickups that meet these criteria are the Ram 2500 and Chevy Silverado 2500HD. But which model is the better buy? To find out, keep reading down below.
Trucks are powerful machines, and the Ram 2500 and Silverado 2500 are some of the strongest models you can buy. Under the hood of the Ram 2500, a 6.4-liter 410 horsepower V8 is available, but so too are two diesel options that provide even greater power than the base powertrain.
The Silverado 2500HD, on the other hand, uses a 6.6-liter 401 horsepower V8 and only comes with one diesel powertrain option. But the optional engine will provide the Silverado with 445 horsepower.
Trucks are impressive for many reasons, and their tech and safety features prove it. Throughout the Ram 2500, drivers can find an abundance of amenities such as an integrated navigation system, active noise cancellation, blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert, and much more.
As for the Silverado 2500HD, this truck also boasts many standout features, including onboard Wi-Fi, two 120-volt outlets, a surround-view camera system, and plenty of others.
You can't compare trucks and not mention one of the most important things about them - their hauling and towing capacity. When properly equipped, the Ram 2500 is a beast of a machine that can haul upwards of 4,000 pounds and tow a whopping 15,000 pounds!
Compared to the Ram 2500, the Silverado 2500HD falls slightly in this department but still has impressive numbers. When equipped properly, the Silverado can haul about 3,800 pounds and tow 14,500 pounds.
Between these two behemoths, it can be hard deciding which model to buy. That said, we'd recommend the Ram 2500. This pickup offers stronger engine options, better hauling/ towing, and a wealth of features. To learn more about the Ram 2500 and what it can offer, shop Wally's Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram of Adams.
