As a driver in the Waldorf, Bowie, and Saint Charles areas, you likely appreciate a pickup truck that provides you with plenty of options. The 2019 Ram 1500 and the Chevrolet Silverado both offer a lot in this regard.

If you’re wondering which one of these fully capable pickups fit in the best with what you’re looking for, take a moment to read through the following Waldorf Dodge comparison. It covers how the Ram 1500 and the Chevy Silverado match up to one another in the categories of towing and payload, convenience, and entertainment.

Towing and Payload Capacities

Towing and payload are two pretty important aspects of a truck’s performance. The 2019 Ram 1500 has a maximum towing capacity of 12,750 pounds and a maximum payload capacity that gives you up to 2,300 pounds.

Over in the Chevy Silverado, the maximum towing capacity is noticeably less, at 12,500 pounds, and its payload continues to deliver less than the Ram with only 2,250 pounds. As these numbers clearly show, the 2019 Ram 1500 is the obvious choice if towing and payload are important to you in your search for your next truck.

As we move on to conveniences, the differences continue to add up. For instance, one particularly convenient feature you’ll find available in the Ram 1500 but not in the Chevy Silverado is the Ram Wireless Charging.

While the Ram 1500 comfortably seats five people and is available with a seating capacity for five, the seating potential in the Silverado ranges from three to five. Additionally, the 2019 Ram has available heated seats for both rows, while heated seats are only available for the first row in the Chevy Silverado.
