When shopping for a new full-size pickup truck, both the 2024 Chevy Silverado 1500 and the 2024 RAM 1500 will likely come up in your research. Here at Keyes Chevrolet, we have the 2024 Chevy Silverado 1500 on our lot, and our dealers will tell you that nothing can beat its rugged durability, interior cargo and comfort, and towing process. This comparison between the 2024 Chevy Silverado 1500 and the 2024 RAM 1500 will help you make an educated choice.
Cargo Space
When you purchase the 2024 Chevy Silverado 1500, you can pick 8-foot, 6-foot-6-inch and 5-foot-8-inch beds. This variety gives buyers additional versatility when selecting their specific truck configuration. In contrast, the RAM 1500 only comes with two bed options: a 5-foot-7-inch bed and a 6-foot-4-inch bed, both of which are smaller than the two largest beds on the 2024 Chevy Silverado 1500. Both trucks’ payload capacities are evenly matched, with the Chevy truck delivering a 2,280-lb maximum and the RAM 1500 managing 3,000 lbs, a difference so miniscule it’s meaningless in real-world use.
Towing Capacity
The Chevrolet Silverado 1500 can tow more than the 2024 RAM 1500, pulling up to 13,330 pounds with its turbodiesel engine and 13,200 pounds with its 6.2-liter V6. In contrast, the RAM 1500 falls short with 12,750 pounds.
Interior and Tech Features
Moving on to the cabin, the 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 provides more standard equipment than the 2024 RAM 1500. While higher models of the RAM 1500 truck can be equipped with a 12-inch touchscreen, Android Auto™, and Apple CarPlay®, these features fall short of what the Chevy truck offers.
The 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is available with a 13.4-inch touchscreen, wireless device charging, a Wi-Fi® hotspot, and dual-zone automatic climate control. The larger touchscreen, wireless charging, and Wi-Fi® hotspot are not available on the RAM truck.
