Are you looking for a heavy-duty truck to help you with jobs around the Elk River and Rogers areas? You’ve doubtless thought about one comparison that comes up year after year: the RAM 2500 vs. Chevy Silverado 2500. There’s a lot going on with both of these trucks, so Cornerstone Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram has a comparison. Below, we’ll look at things like the Chevy 2500 vs. RAM 2500 diesel engines, towing capabilities, and more. While they both are promising vehicles, a side-by-side comparison shows just how valuable the RAM 2500 is.

 

 

2022 RAM 2500 vs. Chevy Silverado 2500: Towing Capabilities

We’ll start with the question that a lot of Coon Rapids people have when they’re buying a work truck: what are the towing capabilities? There’s an easy choice when it comes to these trucks, as the RAM 2500 boasts best-in-blass towing! Let’s see how the numbers stack up:

  • 2022 Chevy Silverado 2500 Towing: When properly equipped, the Chevy Silverado 2500 tows up to 14,500 pounds.
  • 2022 RAM 2500 Towing Capacity: When properly equipped, the 2022 RAM 2500 gets best-in-class conventional towing of 15,040 pounds. 

Edmunds lauds the rear coil springs on the RAM 2500. These improve towing stability and make your ride more comfortable. These, combined with RAM 2500 accessories, can really make a difference when you’re out on the road.

2022 RAM 2500 vs. Chevy 2500 Diesel Engines 

Now, let’s check out the Chevy 2500 vs. RAM 2500 diesel engines. The race is tight when it comes to these turbo diesel options. Both trucks offer those who prefer diesel strong options with each: 

2022 RAM 2500 Diesel Engine

  • 6.7L Cummins® Turbo Diesel I6 Engine
  • 370 hp
  • 850 lb-ft of torque

2022 Chevy Silverado 2500 Diesel Engine

  • Duramax® 6.6L Turbo-Diesel V8
  • 445 hp
  • 910 lb-ft of torque

So, the Chevy 2500 vs. RAM 2500 diesel race does lean a little toward Chevy when it comes to some engine specs. Still, the Best-In-Class conventional towing rating on the RAM 2500 might matter more to Anoka. If you want a lightweight truck that can still work hard, check out the 2022 RAM 1500 dimensions!

2022 RAM 2500 vs. Chevy Silverado 2500: Gas Engines

You’ve seen the RAM 2500 vs. Chevy 2500 diesel comparison, so now let’s check out the gas engines available.

We’re looking at two gas V8 engines, and the one on the RAM outperforms Chevy: 

2022 RAM 2500 Gas Engine

  • 6.4L V8 HEMI® 
  • 410 hp
  • 429 lb-ft of torque

2022 Chevy Silverado 2500 Gas Engine
