Ram 1500 vs Chevy Silverado 1500 Scranton PA

RAM 1500 Performance

Looking at getting either a new Ram 1500 or Chevy Silverado 1500? While both can tow thousands of pounds and hold a large amount of cargo in their beds, there is more to a truck these days than just having a vehicle that can tow and haul equipment.

Beyond that, you will also want to make sure the truck you get offers the overall driving experience you want while traveling around Clarks Summit, Dickson City, and Dalton, Pennsylvania, whether you are towing or not. To help you find out which truck is best for you, our Scranton Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram team looks at the Ram 1500 vs. Chevy Silverado 1500 below.

A Spacious Ride Suitable for the Whole Family

Nowadays, trucks come with a great deal of passenger space along with all the cargo space in their beds, which makes them ideal choices as family vehicles. Both the Ram 1500 and Chevy Silverado 1500 have more room than most 2-row SUVs.

Upfront, they each offer you a great deal of space behind the wheel. In the second row, the Silverado 1500 even has 43.4 inches of maximum legroom. While this is more than most truck cabins, the Ram 1500 has even more space for rear passengers. With up to 45.2 inches of rear legroom, the Ram 1500 is set to give the kids or your friends an extremely comfortable ride even when heading out on long road trips.

Feel More Confident When Trailering

On top of being able to pull along thousands of pounds worth of equipment, these trucks also help make sure you are always aware of your surroundings. They each offer available camera systems that give you a complete view of your truck and trailer so you can easily hitch your trailer, maneuver it in tighter areas, and more.

To give you extra assistance when you need to back up your trailer, the Ram 1500 offers the available Trailer Reverse Steering Control system. By simply using the knob inside the cabin, you turn it the way you want your trailer to go and the system will control the steering to ensure it safely goes that way. The Silverado 1500 doesn’t offer the same technology, so you will be on your own when reversing your trailer.

Tech Featured in the Ram 1500 vs Chevy Silverado 1500

There is even more tech offered in these two trucks to give you the fully modern driving experience you are looking for. Within either, connect to your smartphone and access various applications, music library, and your contacts as you drive.

Doing this will allow you to view directions to wherever you want to go, which is visible on the optional 12-inch touchscreen in the Ram 1500. In the Chevy Silverado 1500, the largest display option is its available 8-inch touchscreen.

Each offers other safety assistance with systems that can help you while navigating around the city or cruising the highway. The Ram 1500 can even steer its way into a parking space, whether you want to back into a spot at the hardware store or parallel park outside the restaurant in the city with available Parallel and Perpendicular Park Assist. Unfortunately, this isn’t offered in the Silverado 1500.
