But that's where its similarities with other trucks end, as our Ram model sets itself apart from the competition in a variety of key areas. Want a little more information before making your next pickup decision? Read on to learn a little more about how our Ram 1500 compares to similarly sized options from Chevrolet and Nissan.
Ram 1500 vs. Chevy Silverado 1500
- Mild hybrid performance. Starting right out of the gate, the Ram 1500 offers more cutting-edge performance and engineering than the Chevy Silverado 1500. This is in thanks to the standard powertrain for the Ram truck, a mild hybrid V6 that increases fuel economy and smoothness for the Ram 1500. It also helps it get a greater range, averaging up to 572 highway miles on a full tank, compared to 528 highway miles for the Chevy. There are no hybrid alternatives for the Chevy truck lineup.
- Off-road performance. Like your adventures off the beaten path? The Ram 1500 TRX trim is a dedicated off-road machine. Not only does it have a top-tier power output of 702 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque, but this special trim also gets standard four-wheel drive and a slew of additional features that make going off road more enjoyable and easier. The Chevy Silverado 1500 lineup doesn't include any trims that offer the same level of off-road features, and no Silverado 1500 trim comes close to this level of high-performance output.
- Standard features. Both pickup trucks have the latest features that drivers want. But the Ram 1500 makes several of them standard, whereas they're only listed as optional or available for the Chevy Silverado 1500.
Ram 1500 vs. Nissan Titan
- Towing and utility. One of the biggest and most important reasons why drivers shop for pickup trucks is for their usefulness and towing capacity. With a rugged truck like the Ram 1500 by your side, you can tow your work trailer or family camper up to 12,000 pounds. That's a powerful towing capacity for most jobs, and a higher one than you'll find on the Nissan Titan, which tops out at just 9,300 pounds for towing ability.
- Engine options and power. With the Ram 1500, drivers get their pick of powertrain options, with a menu of engines available, including both mild hybrid and diesel options. However, the Nissan Titan doesn't give drivers a choice in power output and doesn't offer alternatives to gas power, as every model in the Titan lineup gets its power from a gas V8. This sole engine is also less powerful than the top-tier Ram 1500 performance, topping out at 400 horsepower while the Ram has a top power rating of 702 horsepower.
- Passenger space. Whether you select the Ram 1500 crew cab or the double cab, you and your passengers will be more comfortable in our pickup than the Nissan Titan. That's because the Ram 1500 has a more spacious interior, with more shoulder room and elbow all around, as well as more legroom. For example, in the crew cab Ram 1500, your backseat passengers will enjoy nearly 7 extra inches of legroom to stretch out in than they would in the Nissan.
