We See a Clear Winner
Barry Sanders Supercenter suspects that trucks are the most important vehicles in Oklahoma so we know truck comparisons are some of the most valuable reviews to read. If you want to learn about the engines, features, and interiors of the rival trucks, 2019 Ram 1500 and 2019 Chevy Silverado, stick with us!
Both the 2019 Ram 1500 and 2019 Chevy Silverado are completely redesigned full bodied trucks that are actually lighter than ever. The 2019 Ram 1500 lost 225 pounds by using aluminum parts for the hood and tailgate. The 2019 Chevy Silverado lost 450 pounds through aluminum doors, hood, and tailgate.
By losing over 200 pounds, the lightweight 2019 Ram 1500 has better fuel economy, enhanced safety thanks to the strength and durability of aluminum, and greater agile performance including being able to accelerate faster than previous heavy cars. The Chevy Silverado at a loss of over 400 pounds will also be fuel efficient, durable, and agile.
Each new truck has a V8 engine, Ram with a 5.7 Hemi V8 equaling 395 horsepower and 410 pound-feet of torque, while the new Chevy’s 6.2 liters produces 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque. The new 2019 Ram 1500 offers an optional 48-volt mild-hybrid system that helps fuel economy and provides up to 130 pound-feet of torque.
Thanks to these engines, the 2019 Ram 1500 improves city mpg by 2 and highway mpg by 1 to 17 and 23 respectively. The 2019 Silverado improves fuel economy by 1 to 16 but loses highway mpg by 1 to 21. Ram will continue offering a diesel engine with similar 27 highway mpg and 20 city mpg to the current diesel truck.
Off-road, the Ram 1500 Rebel will get a one-inch suspension lift, locking rear differential, skid plates, off-road tires, hill-descent control, and upgraded shocks from Bilstein with optional air suspension, too. Chevy is releasing an off-road truck as well called the Trailboss with a two-inch lift and all of the same features as the Ram 1500 Rebel, but from Rancho.
The RamBox beats competitors again with lockable in-bed storage containers on the bed sides. Spacious interiors abound in both the 2019 Ram 1500 and 2019 Chevy Silverado, but we at Barry Sanders Supercenter note the massive center console in the Ram 1500, and new 12-inch Uconnect information and entertainment center.
All in all, the 2019 Ram 1500’s style, engine, interior, features, agility, and brand promise of Built to Serve beats the Chevy competition.
