Chevy vs. Ram

The 2024 Chevrolet Silverado gets a new TurboMax™ engine powering base models, and the standard output of 310 horsepower tops the Ram 1500 - which won't switch to Hurricane engines for another year - at 305 horsepower. Ram's full-size truck drops its EcoDiesel V6 powertrain and no longer offers a diesel engine.

Truck buyers from Edgefield can choose the Duramax® Turbo-Diesel 6-cylinder engine for the Chevrolet Silverado 1500, which has top torque values of 460 and 495 pound-feet. These top the Ram 1500 at 410 pound-feet of torque. The Chevy Silverado 1500 also has the superior V8 engine producing 25 additional horsepower.

A Comparison of Towing & Payload Ratings

You can tow heavier trailers from Aiken to North Augusta in a new Chevrolet Silverado 1500, thanks to 13,300 pounds of max available trailering. This tops towing capacities of the Toyota Tundra at 12,000 pounds and the Ram 1500 at 12,750 pounds. The Ford F-150's 14,000-pound towing rating is available, but its base towing capacity is 8,200 pounds, and multiple engines tow 10,000 pounds or less.

Payload ratings for the Ram 1500 (2,300 pounds) and Chevrolet Silverado 1500 (2,260 pounds) are nearly identical. The Toyota Tundra can only take on a payload of 1,940 pounds. The F-150 maxes out at 3,325 pounds of payload, but the majority of configurations have payload ratings of 2,120 pounds or less.

A Comparison of Cab Configurations & Truck Beds

The Ram 1500 only gives you two truck beds (67/76 inches) and two cab options (Crew Cab/Quad Cab). There are fewer cab options for the Tundra, too, as Toyota's truck offers Double Cab and CrewMax options. The three Tundra truck beds span 66, 78, and 98 inches. F-150 trucks are Super Cab, Regular Cab, or SuperCrew Cab models. The longest F-150 truck bed spans 96 inches, and its shortest is 66 inches.

The new Chevrolet Silverado 1500 has longer truck beds of 70 and 98 inches, along with a 79-inch box option. With Regular Cab, Crew Cab, and Double Cab configurations available at our Chevy dealership in Edgefield, truck buyers from North Augusta have more options when they choose a Chevrolet Silverado 1500 as their new truck.

Utility

With 89 cubic feet of best-in-class cargo volume, the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 gives Greenwood drivers more room for payloads and equipment. The other truck beds are smaller, with the Ford F-150 (77 cubic feet), Ram 1500 (62 cubic feet), and Toyota Tundra (55 cubic feet) all offering less cargo bed volume. None of the other new trucks can match the Chevrolet Silverado 1500's Multi-Flex Tailgate. An Inner Gate Load Stop, Inner Gate with Work Surface, and a Full-Width Step are among the six functions making life easier on Edgefield truck owners.

A Comparison of Towing Technology

Wireless Apple CarPlay®/Android Auto™ integration is included in all of these new trucks. The Ram 1500 and Ford F-150 offer 12-inch touchscreens. These are smaller than the Chevrolet Silverado 1500's 13.4-inch touchscreen. The Toyota Tundra has a 14-inch multimedia touchscreen, and its 12.3-inch Multi-Information Display is the same size as the Chevy Silverado 1500's Driver Information Center. The Tundra is missing a hands-free driving feature, though. So is the Ram 1500. The F-150 features Ford BlueCruise. Thanks to Super Cruise™, you can drive or tow trailers hands-free along I-20 from Aiken to North Augusta with your Chevrolet Silverado 1500 truck.

It always helps to have a towing visual driving around North Augusta. The Chevy Silverado 1500's Trailer Side Blind Zone Alert mirrors the Ram 1500's Trailer Detection with Blind Spot Monitoring, the Toyota Tundra's Trailer Merge Warning and Blind Spot Monitor pairing, and the Ford F-150's Trailer Tow Coverage with BLIS®.
