Compare the Ram 2500 to the Competition in Lexington Park

The Ram 2500 has long been a staple of the heavy-duty pickup segment. With consistent innovations in under-the-hood grit, unique comfort features, and state-of-the-art safety and technology perks, this is a model that stays up with the times. Simultaneously, you can expect a powerful vehicle that supports you on any Lusby journey, whether it's recreational or work-related. That being said, the Ram 2500 still has its competition. If you've been wondering what sets the Ram 2500 apart from competitors like the Chevy Silverado 2500, we're here to clear the air.

The Ram 2500 vs. the Chevy Silverado 2500

Both of these models sit a similar price point, have capability numbers that rest in the same segment, and offer comparable technology and safety features. However, the Ram 2500 is a clear winner in this race. Let's explore some of the key categories that make the Ram truck a better choice for Prince Frederick, MD, area shoppers.

Performance & Utility

The Ram 2500 is equipped with a standard 6.4-liter V8 gasoline engine capable of producing 410-horsepower and 429-pound-feet of torque. An upgrade to the available 6.7-liter Cummins® turbo diesel offers an increase in torque to 850-pound-feet. With the Chevy Silverado 2500, the standard 6.6-liter V8 only produces 410-horsepower, far less than that of the Ram truck.

In terms of towing, the Ram 2500 features a strikingly standard 10,350-pound capacity and works its way up to a 15,040-pound towing capacity with rear-wheel drive and the diesel engine. The Chevy Silverado 2500 can only tow up to 9,900-pounds at the standard level.

Technology & Comfort

The Ram 2500 offers numerous cab sizes, just at the Silverado 2500 does, but the Mega Cab certainly sets the Ram apart from the rest. This cab size option offers five extremely spacious seats with the largest second-row legroom area of its class. Also enjoy luxury interior details with the option for wood and gold trim, an optional 15-inch touchscreen that houses all your smartphone connectivity and navigation features. With standard noise cancellation, this truck has everything you need for a successful journey.

The Chevy Silverado 2500 doesn't offer the same level of luxury throughout the entire lineup, much less the base models. Lackluster second-row room in crew-cab models and less than desirable interior materials make it much less luxurious than the Ram.

Safety-wise, the Ram 2500 also trumps the Chevy, with standard front and rear parking sensors, a backup camera, and small upgrade for adaptive cruise control and collision mitigation. The Chevy leaves most driver's assistance features to its top-tier trims.

Trim Level Choices

The Ram 2500 offers six distinct trim levels ranging in style so that you can pick out the truck with the perfect amount flair for your lifestyle. These include:

  • Tradesman
  • Big Horn
  • Laramie
  • Power Wagon
  • Longhorn
  • Limited

The Chevy Silverado 2500 only comes with five trim levels to choose from, which may be disappointing to shoppers who want a specific style.

  • Work Truck
  • LT
  • Custom
  • LTX
  • High Country
