2023 Silverado 1500 vs 2023 Ram 1500 Pittsburgh PA

2023 Silverado 1500 vs 2023 Ram 1500 near Pittsburgh, PA

The sheer volume of pickup trucks on the automotive market can make selecting your preferred set of wheels a daunting experience. Fortunately, we have a heavyweight industry leader on our hands at Jim Shorkey North Hills Chevrolet when you drive the 2023 Chevy Silverado 1500. We’re so confident in this set of wheels that we’ve pitted it against another formidable contender, otherwise known as the 2023 Ram 1500 in a head-to-head comparison. 

Exterior

While each set of wheels boasts its own benefits, the Silverado 1500 comes out on top in almost every regard while traveling around North Hills. This becomes apparent when you tap into the optional Tri-fold soft tonneau cover designed by Advantage, which is a manufacturer that cannot be accessed in the Ram pickup. Plus, the Chevy model will also allow you to customize your traveling experience based on your refined tastes when you spring for the X71 Off-Road and Protection Package. This available upgrade lets you access Z71 Off-Road suspension with Rancho™ twin tube shocks to absorb the impact of bumps and dips on your way to Canton Waterfront Park. Pair that with an available home remote, and your trips will become connected and capable. Once again, the Ram 1500 doesn’t provide these types of upgrades. 

Performance

Moving forward, let’s take a look at what these pickup trucks can provide in regards to strength and capability. The Silverado 1500 starts things off strong, thanks to the standard 2.7L Turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that revs up to 310 horsepower and 430 lb.-ft. Of torque. The 2023 Ram 1500 falls short of these statistics, as its standard 3.6L V6 powertrain can only reach 273 horsepower and 305 lb.-ft. of torque. The Silverado 1500 also allows you to spring for a bolt-on Cat-Back Performance Exhaust Upgrade Kit that will leave a lasting impression on drivers you pass on I-95. Most notably, the available Electronic Transmission Range Selector allows you to closely monitor your gear changes. Again, you cannot access these upgrades in the Ram 1500.

Interior

With the Chevy model stealing the show in the first two rounds, let’s wrap things up by discussing the interior features you can experience at our location with our team. The Silverado 1500 starts things off strong, as the available 13.3-inch touchscreen allows you to access your preferred applications and technology updates in crystal clarity. The same can’t be said for the Ram 1500, as the best you’ll be able to get in this ride is a 12-inch display. The Silverado 1500 ups the ante once again, because you’ll have an optional 12.3-inch Driver Information Center. On the other side of the fence, you’ll have a lesser 12-inch instrument cluster in the Ram 1500, which might prove to be a bit disappointing. Finally, the Chevy vehicle offers an available Bose® Premium Sound System to access premium acoustics. As for the Ram 1500, you won’t have access to this brand.
