2024 RAM 1500 vs. 2024 Chevy Silverado 1500

Should you choose the Chevy Silverado or RAM 1500 for your Long Island City jobs and East Hill adventures? While the Chevy may look good on paper, the new RAM 1500 is by far the better choice—and you don’t have to take our word for it! In their review, Car & Driver gave the 2024 Silverado a respectable 8.5/10 points—not bad, but pale in comparison to the RAM 1500’s perfect 10/10.

So, while the Silverado may have higher towing and payload capacities, the 2024 RAM 1500 is by far the more comfortable and versatile choice for Manhattan drivers. If you want a truck for more than just work, you should take a closer look at the RAM 1500 with the team at Major World Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram.

RAM 1500 vs. Chevrolet Silverado 1500: Ride Quality

Ride quality is somewhat subjective, kind of like mattress firmness. However, the RAM 1500’s standard coil spring suspension absorbs road bumps better than the Silverado 1500’s leaf-spring suspension, leading to a smoother ride—which just about everyone can agree is better.

That’s not all—when you upgrade to the RAM 1500’s Air Suspension, your ride will be even smoother. Plus, you can adjust the ride height for better fuel economy on the highway and better handling on rough terrain, too.

RAM 1500 vs. Chevrolet Silverado 1500: Gas Mileage

An important consideration for many Long Island City-area drivers is their truck’s fuel economy. If you’re curious as to whether the Silverado or RAM 1500 gets better gas mileage, it’s the RAM 1500 all the way. The RAM 1500 achieves up to 25 mpg on the highway standard, which is a small but noticeable improvement over the Silverado’s 22 mpg highway.

RAM 1500 vs. Chevrolet Silverado 1500: Luxury Features

While comparing pickup trucks for their luxury features might seem strange at first, as more East Hill drivers opt for trucks for their daily commute it makes sense to look at their comfort and tech features. When deciding between the Silverado or RAM 1500, you’ll want to think about how driving in your new pickup will feel day-to-day. We’ve listed some of the key areas where the RAM 1500 is simply more luxurious than the Chevy Silverado:

• The Chevy is offered with an optional 7-speaker Bose® audio system. Choose the RAM, and you’ll have access to up to 19 speakers with the optional Harman/Kardon® setup.
• The Chevy’s optional “Multi-Flex” tailgate can transform into a step, which is great for the jobsite. The RAM takes a different approach with a gate that can swing down like normal or swing out to the side. Paired with the RAM’s built-in bed step, we think its tailgate design is ultimately more practical for daily use.
