Towing Power

Both trucks offer several engine options, allowing you to choose the kind of power that you need for your lifestyle. You'll find a selection of V6 engines, V8 engines, and diesel engines in both lineups. However, when it comes to max trailering power, the Silverado 1500 comes out on top. The Silverado 1500 can tow up to 13,300 pounds when outfitted properly, outshining the available 12,750-pound towing capacity of the Ram 1500. So, if you're looking for a light-duty truck that won't balk at your most demanding work, the Silverado 1500 is ready.

Cargo Capacity

When it comes to what you can fit in the truck bed, the Chevy Silverado 1500 has the edge. The Chevy Silverado 1500 offers up to 89 cubic feet of space in the longest bed, which surpasses the Ram 1500's best showing. The Ram 1500 also doesn't offer a long bed option. Additionally, comparing each available bed side by side between the two tucks reveals that the Chevy Silverado 1500 has the advantage at each stage, meaning that you can carry more in the Chevy truck no matter which bed you pick.
