If you need more than 11,500 lb of towing or want a half-ton diesel, the Silverado has the edge. If you spend more time commuting and hauling family than towing at the limit, compare the ride, back seat and cabin, where the Ram 1500 is strongest. For heavier towing, a Ram 2500 tows up to 20,000 lb.
The 2027 Silverado 1500, rated up to 13,700 lb with its 5.7L V8, versus up to 11,530 lb for the 2027 Ram 1500. Both carry up to 2,340 lb of payload.
No. Ram no longer offers a diesel in the Ram 1500. The 2027 Silverado 1500 offers a 3.0L Duramax diesel six. For diesel power from Ram, look at the Ram 2500 and 3500 with the Cummins.
The 2027 Silverado 1500 has a 16.3-in touchscreen on every trim. The Ram 1500 offers 8.4-, 12- and 14.5-in screens depending on trim, plus an available 10.25-in passenger display and head-up display.
They're close: the Ram's 5.7L HEMI makes 395 hp and 410 lb-ft, and Chevrolet's new 5.7L V8 makes 402 hp and 428 lb-ft.
The Ram 1500 uses a coil-spring rear suspension, with available four-corner air, which is designed for a smoother ride than a conventional leaf-spring setup. A back-to-back test drive is the best way to compare.
