2014 Chevy Silverado	2014 Dodge Ram 1500

Some consumer reports suggest it is hard to choose between the two pickup trucks so let’s have a closer look. A side by side comparison of the two pickup trucks reveals several small differences, so which truck is better?

The 2014 Silverado has a solid frame, good acceleration combined with a smooth ride and superb ride quality. The latest Chevy Silverado models have hydoformed frame rails which provide extra handling. The 2014 Chevy Silverado also is 300 pounds lighter than the Dodge Ram – this helps with stability and control. The Chevy Silverado also boasts better towing capacity and better fuel consumption at 18 MPG

Comfort

When it comes to convenience and comfort the Chevrolet Silverado’s interior is faultless except it has somewhat limited rear seat space compared to the Dodge Ram. The Silverado also has fewer cubby holes for sunglasses and maps, etc.

Style

If you like chrome, the Dodge Ram wins hands down with far more chrome than the Silverado. The Silverado, though, has a smoother body outline and better overall looks.

Utility

The 2014 Dodge Ram 1500 does have a drawback over the Chevy Silverado; it has far less towing capacity which may put off some potential owners. The Dodge Ram has a maximum of 8,700 pounds and the Silverado has a massive 9,500 pounds towing capacity.

The 2014 Dodge Ram 1500 is marginally faster of the two pickup trucks and has a 390 Horse power HEMI engine. This makes the pickup faster off the mark, but as a consequence, is not so good on fuel at only 14 MPG.

Both pickup trucks come with a range of accessories and optional extras. These include for the Dodge Ram: tail light kits and leveling kits. The Silverado has lift kits available.

The 2014 Chevy Silverado vs the 2014 Dodge Ram – Conclusion

There isn’t much between the two vehicles. Both have a good build and are comfortable to drive. If you like lashings of chrome, the Dodge Ram might appeal. However, if you want better fuel economy and a much better towing capacity then the Chevrolet Silverado is the better choice.

If you drive your pickup on a daily basis, the Chevrolet Silverado is a better choice. It rides better and has more comfortable seats, a superior rear seat, and a better control layout.
