Performance

On the performance front, the new Chevy Silverado 1500 has always been a strong option, but when you compare it to the new Ram 1500, you'll see that it stands in a class unto itself.

With a DuraMax® Turbo Diesel Engine available under the hood, the new Chevy Silverado 1500 can churn out up to 495 pound-feet of torque on demand. By comparison, the new Ram 1500 only offers up to 410 pound-feet of torque with its V8 engine.

Plus, it's worth noting that the Chevy Silverado 1500 offers gasoline and diesel powertrain options, while the new Ram 1500 only offers gasoline powertrain options, making it a less versatile vehicle overall.

Of course, whether its gas-powered or diesel-powered, the primary thing that most drivers are concerned about with a new light-duty truck like the new Chevy Silverado 1500 is how much it can tow. Happily, the new Chevy Silverado 1500 is well-equipped on that front, with the ability to pull payloads of up to 13,300 pounds. By comparison, the new Ram 1500 can only move payloads of up to 12,750 pounds.

Capability

If you're like many drivers in the greater Evanston, WY area, you're always looking for opportunities to take your travels off the beaten path. And while both the new Chevy Silverado 1500 and Ram 1500 offer off-road equipped trims, the Chevy Silverado 1500 offers more variety in its rugged equipment. With the Ram 1500, it's off-road options are limited to the Rebel and TRX trims. However, the new Chevy Silverado 1500 boasts the Custom Trail Boss, LT Trail Boss, ZR2, and host of other off-road options on its equipment list.

Technology

One of our favorite additions to the new Chevy Silverado 1500 equipment portfolio is the addition of Chevy Super Cruise. If you spend a lot of time driving to and from Heber City, the Chevy Super Cruise system allows you to enjoy hands-free driving on thousands of miles of U.S. roads, making it incredibly easy to handle your day-to-day commute or even taking a long distance road trip without all the excess fatigue. Unfortunately for Ram 1500 owners, there isn't anything like the Chevy Super Cruise system on its equipment list.
