Exterior

Both vehicles sport a modern design, emphasizing rugged and aggressive. The Ram 1500 mounts their signature emblem on the rear tailgate, while the Chevy Silverado 1500 sends a statement to the competition by stamping "Chevrolet" in bold lettering across the rear. Both vehicles offer multiple cab and bed configurations, but the Chevy Silverado 1500 offers a longer wheelbase at almost 148-inches, creating a much more comfortable and stable ride.

Interior Features

As a full-size truck, buyers expect ample interior passenger room to shuttle the family around. The 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is superior, offering best-in-class interior space, with nearly 45-inches of front leg-room and 44-inches of rear leg-room, ensuring passengers have plenty of space to stretch out on a long road trip.

The Silverado 1500 takes connectivity to the next level, offering a 4G LTE WiFi hotspot, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a multi-color 15-inch heads-up display makes drivers feel like they're commanding a fighter-jet!

Engines

When shopping for a modern full-size pickup, drivers are greeted with plenty of engine options. Ram opts to add a new mild-hybrid system to its traditional engines with the goal of adding increased fuel efficiency without sacrificing low-end torque.

Chevrolet reminds drivers that there is no replacement for displacement. The SIlverado 1500 brings four distinct engine options; a 2.7-liter turbo with active fuel management (310 hp and 348 lb-ft torque), a 4.3-liter EcoTec3 V6 with active fuel management (285 hp and 305 lb-ft torque), a 5.3-liter EcoTec3 V8 with either active or dynamic fuel management (355 hp and 383 lb-ft torque), and a 6.2-liter EcoTec3 V8 with dynamic fuel management (420 hp and 460 lb-ft torque). With these distinct engine options, drivers are sure to find an engine for their lifestyle.
