Among three-quarter-ton pickups, one model in particular stands out, and that is the Ram 2500. It is one of the most capable and durable HD pickups on the road, and its driver loyalty ratings are impressive. The 2021 Ram 2500 is now available to purchase and lease, and you can contact Don White’s Timonium Ram to discover the latest brand incentives. Updates for the 2021 model include new advanced technologies, such as a digital rearview mirror that can construct a view without the trailer and any cargo in the bed in the way. Another popular HD pickup is the Silverado 1500, and with that in mind, let us compare the 2021 Ram 2500 vs 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 and see how they measure up.
Each vehicle has National and Regional that are included in the advertised internet price. There may be additional incentives for which you may qualify (conditional). Please add sales tax, MVA tag and title fees, destination charge, and $800 processing fee (not required by law).
Both of these are sharp-looking trucks with aesthetics that are bold, rugged and modern. In terms of cab-bed combinations, you are going to find a lot of similarities between the 2021 Ram 2500 and the 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 2500, which is not surprising. Both offer three cab options. Ram offers a regular cab and two crew cabs. One is referred to as the Mega Cab. Chevrolet also offers a regular, and for its extended cabs, it offers a double and a crew cab. The crew cabs all have four regular size doors. The Chevrolet double cab has half-size doors, and both regular cabs have two doors. Ram offers a 96- and 76-inch bed. The regular cab is paired with the long bed. The crew cab gives you the choice, and the Mega Cab is paired with the short bed. Chevrolet also offers two bed sizes: 98 and 82 inches. The regular cab is paired with the long bed, and both the double and crew cabs give you a choice of bed.
In terms of interior spaciousness, you will not find substantial difference when comparing the regular cabs. The regular cabs can seat up to three, and while the Chevrolet does provide more front legroom overall, both afford more than 40 inches. Things get a bid more interesting when we move on to the Ram crew and the Chevrolet double. Chevrolet provides more than 35 inches of legroom, and Ram is not playing marketing games in offering two crew cabs. The smaller crew cab is a real crew cab that provides more than 40 inches of rear legroom. The Ram Mega Cab and the Chevrolet crew comparably favorably to each other by offering more than 43 inches of legroom. Note that with all of the extended cabs from both automakers, six-passenger seating is standard but front bucket seats are available.
Ram offers a gas powertrain and a diesel powertrain. Rear-wheel drive is standard, and four-wheel drive is optional in all cases with the exception of the off-road-oriented Power Wagon. The gas powertrain features an eight-speed automatic transmission and a 6.4L HEMI V8 engine that delivers up to 410 hp and 429 lb.-ft. of torque. The diesel powertrain features a six-speed automatic and a 6.7L Cummins Turbo-Diesel I6 that delivers up to 370 hp and 850 lb.-ft. With the Silverado 1500, rear-wheel drive is standard, and four-wheel drive is optional in all cases with the exception of the range-topping High Country, which comes 4×4 standard. Chevrolet offers two powertrains as well. The gas powertrain combines a six-speed automatic with a 6.6L V8 that delivers up to 401 hp and 464 lb.-ft. The diesel powertrain combines a 10-speed automatic with a 6.6L Turbo-Diesel V8 that delivers up to 445 hp and 910 lb.-ft.
Both of these vehicles are rather impressive when it comes to the trailer-assistance technologies and driver-assistance technologies that are available. Based on those two categories, you can probably make a case for either model. But we feel that the 2021 Ram 2500 breaks that tie with how it carries out the basics. The Uconnect infotainment system, for instance, is one of the most feature-rich, user-friendly and customizable implementations on the market. Ram also offers a large, beautiful 12.0-inch touchscreen with navigation whereas 7- and 8-inch touchscreens are your only option with the Chevrolet Silverado 2500.
