2023 Silverado 1500 vs. RAM 1500: Pricing

Price is often the first thing that drivers consider when shopping for a new ride – not to mention a major deciding factor – so it’s a good place to start our comparison guide. The RAM 1500 and Chevy Silverado are both full-size pickup trucks, so naturally their prices are similar, but the Silverado is ultimately the more affordable model by about $1,000. The Silverado also offers nine trims to choose from–including the legendary ZR2 off-road model–while the RAM 1500 only offers eight. Here are the starting prices for both trucks:

  • 2023 Chevy Silverado 1500 Work Truck: Starting MSRP of $36,300
  • 2023 RAM 1500 Tradesman: Starting MSRP of $37,410

2023 Silverado 1500 vs. RAM 1500: Performance

Now let’s take a look under the hood of these two pickup trucks. Given that the Silverado is the more affordable choice, you might think that it offers inferior performance specs to the RAM 1500. However, the Silverado actually pulls ahead of its RAM counterpart in four key categories:

  • Engine: The Chevy Silverado’s engine power ranges from 310 horsepower to 420 horsepower, while the RAM ranges from 305 horsepower to 395 horsepower, not counting the specialty HEMI V8 that’s only found on the $88,000 RAM 1500 TRX.
  • Torque: In addition to delivering more horsepower, the Silverado 1500 also generates more torque, delivering 430 lb-ft on its entry-level engine compared to 269 lb-ft on the RAM 1500.
  • Transmission: The Silverado offers Milford drivers the choice of a 6-speed automatic or 8-speed automatic transmission, while the RAM only comes with an 8-speed automatic.
  • Trailering Capacity: The maximum towing capacity on the RAM 1500 is an impressive 12,750 pounds, but the Silverado pulls ahead with a capacity of 13,300 pounds!
