If you're looking for the right truck to handle all your jobs around North Attleboro, you may wonder how the new Ram 1500 compares to the GMC Sierra 1500. Both trucks are popular among Mansfield drivers who value power, reliability, and comfort. But which one is better for you? The First Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM team brings you the following Ram 1500 vs. GMC Sierra 1500 comparison of the performance and handling features to show why the Ram 1500 is the obvious choice.
Performance and Towing Power
The Ram 1500 has several advantages over the GMC Sierra 1500. Brockton customers can choose from a range of engine options for the Ram 1500, including a 3.6-liter V6 with eTorque mild hybrid system, a 5.7-liter HEMI V8 with or without eTorque, and a 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V6. The GMC Sierra 1500 also offers multiple engines, but none match the torque output and maximum towing capacity.
Comparing the top-tier 6.2-liter V8 engines for both trucks, the Ram 1500 has a maximum towing capacity of 12,750 pounds compared to the Sierra's 12,100 pounds. Thanks to the Ram V8's engine delivering an impressive 702 horsepower and 650 of torque, that's an extra 650 pounds of towing power, making all the difference when hauling supplies and equipment to job sites around Norwood.
Notable Features
The Ram 1500 also has a more advanced suspension system to give Mansfield customers a smoother ride and better handling than the GMC Sierra 1500. The Ram 1500 also offers an available Active-Level Four Corner Air Suspension that will automatically adjust the height and level of the truck according to the load and driving conditions. The GMC Sierra 1500 does not offer such a feature.
Although both trucks have various features that enhance comfort, convenience, and safety, the Ram 1500 has exclusive features you won't find with the Sierra 1500. For example, the Ram 1500 has a class-exclusive multifunction tailgate that can open multiple ways to make loading and unloading easier for Franklin area tradespeople. The GMC Sierra 1500 has a conventional tailgate that only opens downward.
