2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 vs 2022 Ram 1500
2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 vs 2022 Ram 1500
Overview
If you're shopping for a full-size truck in 2022, and you've narrowed it down to the Chevy Silverado 1500 and the RAM 1500, it can be a tough choice. The Silverado is more affordable from the outset, but each has its own specifications. Let's look at the key differences to pick an overall winner.
Exterior
Chevy's designers updated the Silverado for 2022, making it more aggressive with a new front fascia, a new grille, and lowered headlamps. Dark Ash, Sand Dune, and Glacier Blue Metallic were added as new color possibilities. The RAM 1500 has a lot of elegance as well, including some new trims added, but the overall style was left the same. For 2022, the Silverado carries a more notable refresh.
Engine and Capability
The standard Silverado 1500's 2.7-liter turbo engine delivers 310 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque. The RAM 1500 comes standard with a 305-horsepower 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine with 269 pound-feet of torque. Both models offer several other engines on the starting trim for extra power. However, across the upper and lower end of the list, the Silverado 1500 has the stronger selection. For example, the towing capacity of the RAM 1500 ranges from 6,120 to 8,280 pounds, whereas the capacity of the 2022 Silverado 1500 ranges from 8,900 to 11,000 pounds.
Both of these pickup trucks are extensively configurable and more capable than the majority of trucks on the road. Still, drivers who prefer to get a lot of power from the base model will appreciate the Silverado. Add in very similar warranties and more affordable trim-level pricing on the Silverado, and the choice becomes even easier.
