Work Truck Performance

The base Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Work Truck (WT) compares well next to the base trim of the Ram 1500, the Tradesman. Chevrolet offers more standard power and performance than its counterpart from Ram:

• Chevrolet Silverado 1500 WT: 310 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque
• Ram 1500 Tradesman: 305 hp and 269 lb-ft

Both trucks offer an 8-speed automatic transmission and standard Four-Wheel Drive for similar driving experiences, but the Silverado 1500 offers far more standard torque for a more powerful drive on the road or the job.

Size and Maneuverability

The new Chevy Silverado 1500 is a smaller and lighter truck than the Ram 1500, improving overall maneuverability and handling on the job or on the road near Boston. Dimensions and weights for both trucks are listed below:

• Chevrolet Silverado 1500: 4,960-pound curb weight, 81.2” width, 75.5” height, 231.9” long
• Ram 1500: 5,055-pound curb weight, 82.1” width, 77.6” height, 232.9” length

Despite these figures, Chevy offers a longer bed for the base WT model, giving you more space to load gear than the Ram 1500.

Interior and Comfort

• Chevy Silverado 1500: 43” of front headroom, 44.5” of legroom

The Chevy Silverado 1500 offers unique, model-specific high-level features for the top High Country trim, standing out with available heated rear seats, an upgrade driver information display, and running board side assist steps for easy access no matter the trip ahead. The Ram 1500 offers a wide range of high-level add-ons, but the Silverado 1500 offers increased comfort and convenience.

Technology

The base Chevrolet Silverado 1500 WT comes with a standard 7” infotainment display, Bluetooth streaming, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, an audio system, and USB connectivity.
