 Why the 2022 Ram 1500 cruises past the 2022 Chevy Silverado 1500
The 2022 Ram 1500 at Bob Allen Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Danville, KY has so many advantages over the 2022 Chevy Silverado 1500, it might seem unfair to Chevy. But it's certainly not unfair to you. So here's a head-to-head comparison of these two very well-known trucks and why we believe there's really no contest. The newest Ram 1500 is the most capable full-size half-ton pickup you can buy, and it also gives you the most for your money.
Ram starts out by beating all rivals, not just Chevy
We don't expect you to believe Ram makes the best full-size pickup just because we say so. But you might be inclined to believe it when that same opinion comes from three of the best-known automotive publications. For 2022, Car & Driver, MotorTrend and U.S. News & World Report declared the new Ram 1500 to be the #1 half-ton pickup in America. That puts Ram ahead of the Ford F-150, the GMC Sierra 1500 and yes, the new Chevy Silverado.
Payload comparison (Ram wins)
While both trucks have excellent towing capability, Ram comes out ahead when it comes to hauling. The 2022 Ram 1500 pickup gives you more maximum payload capacity than the newest Chevy Silverado 1500. With its base 3.6-liter V6, the Ram 1500 again beats the Chevy Silverado's base V6 with more horsepower.
Fuel efficiency comparison (Ram wins this too)
Since Ram beats Chevy when it comes to horsepower and payload, you'd think the Chevy Silverado 1500 would at least compensate by coming in first when it comes to fuel economy. Alas for Chevrolet, it doesn't happen that way. The 2022 Ram 1500 gets an estimated 25 miles with every gallon on the highway while the best the 2022 Chevy Silverado 1500 can manage is 22 miles per gallon on the highway. Better luck on the next event, Chevy.
Cargo management (Uh oh: Rams wins again)
The Ram 1500 for 2022 gets downright ingenious when it comes to helping you manage the stuff you need to carry in the back. The RAMBox® Cargo Management System has two storage bins that are fitted into the truck bed to give you secure storage of small but valuable tools. Instead of giving you just one way to open the back, Ram's Multifunction Tailgate has a split two-door setup that opens wide for easier access to cargo that's farther back.
Interior technology (Ram wins and it's not even close)
Auto industry reviewers consistently agree the Ram 1500 interior is so first-class, the higher trims should be compared with luxury cars and not just other pickups. While the best sound system the 2022 Chevy Silverado can offer is a seven-speaker version, the 2022 Ram 1500 offers an available Harman Kardon system with an amazing 19 speakers. Sorry, Chevy.
Interior space (Rams wins and this is getting out of hand)
It's important to be able to stretch out in a truck you're working in all day, and the 2022 Ram 1500 does a masterful job of making that happen. Ram gives you more front hip room, more hip room and leg room in the second row and more second-row shoulder room. Ram pickup buyers in Nicholasville and Lebanon, KY will find the new 2022 Ram 1500 is a good place to relax while you work.
