Introduction

The truck showdown is on between the 2022 Ram 1500 and the 2022 Chevrolet Silverado. Truck enthusiasts are asking which truck is best. Both trucks offer great value for money, versatility, power, and performance. Safety, dimensions, and payload capabilities will make the difference when choosing one over the other. Let’s discover more about these trucks and help you decide which one you’ll buy.

Dimensions

The crew cab 2022 Ram 1500 gives passengers more hip room in the front and the back than the 2022 Silverado. A total of 7.62cm more room is available, which will make a huge difference on those long driving trips.

Both trucks have a bed length of approximately 170cm, which is ample space. The Ram offers a Rambox Cargo Management system that increases the storage space at the top and the sides of the bed length. It also has a bed extender that works well when the tailgate is placed down. The system uses the added length of the tailgate to create more space for longer items.

Performance

You’ll get more towing capacity with the Chevrolet, but at a much higher price than the Ram. The 5.3 litre optional engine of the Chevrolet can tow 11,000 pounds of weight. The entry-level Ram can tow 7,610 pounds with the standard 3.6 litre V6 engine.

If you’re looking for fuel economy in the long run, the V6 engine of the Ram will get you 10.6 km/L on the highway as opposed to the Silverado that gets 8.5 km/L.

The 2022 Ram 1500 also offers height-adjustable seat belts in the front. This small addition can mean the difference between serious or mild injuries in the event of a collision.
