Our Jeff Belzer CDJR Roseville team wants to help you choose the best truck for you and your lifestyle, so we’ve compiled a list comparing the 2023 RAM 2500 versus the 2023 Chevy Silverado.

Exterior Features

2023 ram 1500

When you choose the 2023 RAM 2500, you’re choosing a truck with a bold exterior. The truck’s bed has an available RamBox Cargo Management System. This management system makes storing and organizing your items simpler. It comes with two storage bins that are lockable and drainable, including LED lights to illuminate the inside. The bed also comes with lights and outlets to make your tasks and travels easier. Additionally, the truck’s hood is a stylish Mopar Sport Performance Hood, which you can get in trim levels like the Laramie and Power Wagon.

The 2023 Chevy Silverado has a stylish exterior, and it’s beneficial for privacy and keeping cool in warmer weather because of its solar-absorbing tinted windows. The wheels are 18-inch, six-spoke machined aluminum wheels with silver painted accents, including a spare tire. Additionally, on this truck, you can find chrome door handles, front and rear bumpers, and mirror caps. You can also use the integrated bedsteps to access the back of your truck without flipping down the tailgate. And, to help with those snowy Minnesota winters, the removable skid plate and front air dam make it easy to install a plow.

Power and Performance

The 2023 RAM 2500 has a powerful look but makes for a quiet and comfortable ride. Underneath this vehicle’s hood, you can have two engine options based on the trim level you select. The first engine is a 6.7 Liter Cummins Turbo Diesel I6 Engine with 370 maximum horsepower and six-speed automatic transmission. For the other engine option, you can have a 6.4 Liter HEMI V8 engine with a maximum horsepower of 410 and an eight-speed automatic transmission.

This truck has a maximum towing capacity of 19,980 lbs with the turbo diesel engine and 17,730 lbs with the HEMI engine. Additionally, the RAM has a fuel tank capacity of 32 gallons.

The 2023 Chevy Silverado has a maximum towing ability of 18,510 lbs. Your choice of trim level determines the engine type. The Duramax 6.6 Liter Turbo-diesel V8 produces 445 horsepower with a 10-speed automatic transmission, while the second option is a 6.6 Liter V8 Gas Engine with 401 horsepower and a six-speed automatic transmission.

Interior Space and Cabin Features

The 2023 RAM’s interior is luxurious, with high-quality and comfortable leather seating. RAM made the accents throughout the truck from genuine wood and aluminum. When you’re listening to music driving down the highway, you can drown out traffic sounds with the noise-canceling sound system. You can immerse yourself in the music with the 900-watt Harman Kardon Premium Audio system and 17 speakers in the truck. As for seating, you have a few options in the front seat between bucket seats or a 40/20/40 bench.

For ample passenger and cargo space, you can arrange the back row in three ways — three-across rear seating, single rear seat folded, or double rear seats folded. This truck can connect to the RAM app on your smartphone. The app allows you to know your vehicle on a different level, including accessing Ram Connect Services, Vehicle Finder, and Remote Vehicle Start. A few other available cabin features in the 2023 RAM include:

  • 12-inch touch screen With Uconnect.
  • Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connections.
  • 4G Wi-Fi hotspot.
  • RAM Telematics system, which allows users to access data about the vehicle and drive.
  • 360-degree surround view camera.

Inside the 2023 Chevy Silverado, you can find leather seating with cloth trim. Take advantage of the convenient storage spaces, like inside the seat, to help keep your truck organized. Like the RAM vehicle, this truck has a 40/20/40 bench in the front seat with a covered armrest. With this truck, you can also connect with an app, myChevrolet, which allows you to see and control various aspects of the vehicle, including the Advanced Trailering System. This system lets you create trailer profiles, making towing easier. Some available fun and beneficial cabin features in the 2023 Silverado include:

  • Eight cameras with up to 15 camera views.
  • A 15-inch diagonal Head-Up Display, which shows information like speed, navigation, and active safety alerts on the windshield.

  • Two-speaker system in the regular cab and a six-speaker system in the double cab and crew cab.
  • Single-zone air conditioning.

Safety and Other Technology Features

As for safety and other technology features, the 2023 RAM 2500 may provide you with increased confidence on the road. The truck has enhanced visibility settings, like the Adaptive Forward Lighting System, which is great if you’re driving in foggy weather or other challenging conditions.

Chevy makes safety a number-one priority and ensures each new model has the most up-to-date technology. The 2023 Silverado elements help you lower your chances of encountering dangerous situations. A remarkable Chevy feature is the safety alert seat, which sends vibrations throughout the entire chair to inform you of potential crashes. The truck also comes with Intellibeam, which allows the vehicle to turn the headlight’s high beams on or off, depending on the traffic conditions.
