Ram vs. Chevrolet: Which Commercial Trucks Perform Better?

Discover a new commercial truck that keeps up with your daily tasks.  Many drivers compare the commercial Ram vehicles with Chevrolet due to each brand's exceptional exterior styling and towing capacities. There's no question that new Ram trucks - from the Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500 on up to the Ram Chassis Cabs - and the Chevrolet Silverado lineup provides drivers with sporty and versatile transportation. 

However, when comparing the performance and trailering technologies available for each brand, you'll soon discover that nothing quite compares to a Ram truck.  If you're seeking a durable truck or Chassis Cab for work or recreation, make your way to Slingerland Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Fiat to learn more about the models in our new commercial inventory.

Trailering Highlights of Ram and Chevrolet Trucks

The new Ram Chassis Cab trucks provide you with 100 active and passive safety features that either come standard or as optional features.  A ParkSense Park Assist system and a trailer reverse-guidance view serve as two class-exclusive features that help you back your Ram truck up to stationary objects, including trailers.  Only the new Ram Chassis Cab models offer you Forward Collision Warning technology, an Adaptive Cruise Control feature, and Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) with trailer brakes.  You won't find these features on the Chevrolet commercial truck lineup.

The new Chevrolet Chassis Cab trucks also feature technology that streamlines the trailering experience for drivers that need to transport equipment for first responder or tow truck operational jobs.  However, the Chevy lineup does not offer as extensive of a range of features as the Ram trucks.  If you prioritize a job well done, then consider all the benefits that a Ram commercial truck provides you regarding the safety of your truck and the equipment you need to carry.  The Ram Chassis Cab's mirror-mounted rear spotlights and power convex trailer-tow mirrors, for example, give you even more confidence when you need to navigate in Reverse at night or during low-visibility occasions.

Customization and Convenience Features

Your commercial Ram truck stays ready for any task.  Ram Chassis Cab vehicles come built with high-strength steel frames that reduce the truck's weight and improve torsional rigidity.  If you need to remotely unlock, lock, or start your truck, you can do so with ease thanks to the available Uconnect mobile app.  Cool down quickly on a hot day by starting your truck before you get inside, or make sure that the cargo stored inside of your truck remains safer by remotely locking your vehicle from afar if you aren't sure if you locked the doors before walking away.  You can complete both tasks easily with Ram Chassis Cab trucks.  The Ram models also boast an available 270-degree Surround View Camera system that utilizes three strategically-placed cameras to deliver an image of your surroundings.

Both the Ram and Chevrolet trucks offer versatility, with upfits made easy.  You can upfit models from either brand with no interference from components.  Like the Ram range, you can choose a new Silverado to fit your size and style needs.  The truck comes in models ranging from the 1500, 2500HD, and 3500HD to the more powerful 4500HD, 5500HD, and 6500HD.  Each Silverado Chassis Cab truck comes offered in Regular Cab and Crew Cab iterations, and you can also choose a 2WD or 4WD version for each model.

Seek Out Power and Efficiency in a New Ram Truck

Your biggest hauls call for enormous power, and that's why we recommend commercial Ram trucks over the Chevrolet lineup.  Chevrolet trucks come in 2WD and 4WD drivetrains, allowing you to optimize the control of your vehicle to suit your unique towing profile.  A Duramax 6.6-liter diesel engine comes with the new Silverado, giving you access to up to 350 horsepower and 700 lb.-ft. of torque.

Like the Silverado range of commercial trucks, the Ram vehicles also deliver excellent capability.  The Ram 3500, Ram 4500, and Ram 5500 Chassis Cab models come equipped with a 6.4-liter HEMI® V-8 as the standard engine.  You'll get up to 410 horsepower, swiftly dominating the Chevy fleet's standard engine.  In addition to the HEMI® V-8, you can enjoy superior fuel economy with the Ram Chassis Cab range.  The 3500 Chassis Cab models come with exclusive Fuel Saver Technology, and all Chassis Cab Ram trucks feature Deceleration Fuel Shut-Off to optimize your fuel savings.
