The 2024 Ram 2500 and Chevrolet Silverado 2500 are two excellent options you’ll want to consider when shopping for a heavy-duty truck in Downey, CA. Whether you’re transporting bulky equipment across job sites or navigating the busy Lakewood Boulevard road, these robust vehicles are built to deliver outstanding performance. But which one is superior? Find out in this comprehensive guide. Below, our team at Champion Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram FIAT will look at the two trucks to show how they compare and help you choose the ideal one for your needs.
One of the primary considerations when buying a heavy-duty truck is the engine, and each truck offers two energetic options to select from based on your needs. At the base level, the 2024 Ram 2500 features a 6.4-liter gasoline-powered Hemi V8 that delivers an incredible 410 horsepower. The Silverado 2500 starts with a 6.6-liter Hemi V8, offering 401 horsepower, lower than what you get with the Ram. Regarding towing capacity, the Ram truck also edges its Chevy counterpart when both are equipped with their standard engine and conventional hitch. While the Silverado 2500 can only pull up to 16,000 pounds, the Ram 2500 can tow up to 17,700 pounds, making it a better option for heavy-lifting tasks. The Ram truck also has a higher maximum payload capacity (4000 lbs) than the Chevrolet (3615 lbs), allowing you to carry more tools, equipment, and gear.
A comfortable ride awaits you and your crew in both trucks. They offer a spacious, functional interior with ample room for tall passengers to stretch out and relax on long drives. Each truck seats between three to six people, depending on the configuration. However, when it comes to interior quality, even the fanciest Chevrolet 2500 model cannot match the Ram 2500. The Ram truck has a more sophisticated and upscale cabin with helpful technologies and top-notch materials, like genuine leather upholstery and wood accents. Both vehicles have an impressive array of driver aids and security systems, but the Ram truck offers some optional features that are unavailable in the Silverado 2500, such as the lane keeping assist and brake assist.
The 2024 Ram 2500 comes out as the clear winner in this HD truck comparison. While the Chevrolet Silverado 2500 impresses in certain areas, the Ram truck offers a more comprehensive package. It is more powerful and can tow more loads than the Chevy truck when both are equipped with the standard engine. The Ram 2500’s interior is also more elegant and sophisticated, making it a better place to pass the miles. So, if you need a full-size truck that’s both capable and luxurious, the Ram 2500 is the way to go.
