A Direct Comparison: the 2022 RAM 1500 vs the 2022 Chevy Silverado 1500

If you’re in the market for a pickup, you’ll encounter worthy rivals like the 2022 RAM 1500 and the 2022 Silverado 1500 in the marketplace. While you can’t go wrong with either of those models, the RAM 1500 is the better choice for many motorists.
Interior Quality
When drivers contact our New Richmond, WI RAM dealership to inquire about the new RAM 1500, they often ask what the truck’s cabin is like. By all accounts, the 2022 RAM 1500 has one of the nicest cabins in its competitive class.
This pickup shows off high-quality, soft-touch materials. Drivers and passengers will agree that the truck’s seats are amply padded, supportive, and comfortable. There’s plenty of head- and legroom in both rows, with taller and larger travelers able to stretch out without impeding the comfort of other passengers.
By comparison, the Chevrolet truck’s cab falls a bit short. The seats aren’t as well-padded and they’re not nearly as accommodating, something you’ll definitely notice on long trips. While the cabin might appear swanky at first glance, it’s not as high-end as the passenger space in the RAM 1500.
Engines
While the cabin is important for anyone who plans to use their truck as a daily driver, a pickup’s engines are always a top priority for truck shoppers. When you view the 2022 RAM 1500 at Bernard’s Northtown Chrysler Dodge Jeep® RAM, you’ll see that the RAM 1500 is offered with the following engines:
- 3.6-liter V6 engine: 305 HP and 269 lb-ft of torque
- 5.7-liter V8 engine: 395 HP and 410 lb-ft of torque
- Turbodiesel 3.0-liter V6 engine: 260 HP and 480 lb-ft of torque
- Supercharged 6.2-liter V8 engine: 702 HP and 650 lb-ft of torque
New RAM trucks have long been celebrated for their engines, and when you compare the top engine listed above to the Chevy pickup’s top-of-the-line engine you’ll understand why. Of the Chevy truck’s four available engines, a 6.2-liter V8 sits atop the pack. That engine’s output maxes out at a comparatively paltry 460 lb-ft of torque and 420 HP—a fraction of what the RAM 1500 is capable of.
