The 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is a formidable full-size pickup truck, but it faces stiff competition from the 2024 RAM 1500. Both trucks are from renowned automakers and are celebrated for their toughness, reliability, and luxurious interior features. They also come packed with standard tech and safety features.
Let’s break down the 2024 Silverado 1500 and the 2024 RAM 1500 in terms of interior specs, performance capabilities, and safety features to see which one comes out on top.
If you’re eager to get a firsthand look, visit Walt Massey Chevrolet in Hattiesburg, MS. Our showroom is stocked with a range of 2024 Silverado 1500 models, and our team is ready to help you find the perfect trim.
Chevy offers various cab styles and cargo bed lengths for the 2024 Silverado 1500, and RAM does the same for the 2024 RAM 1500. For a fair comparison, let’s look at the crew cab from each lineup, ideal for both family and work use. The 2024 Silverado 1500 offers 139 cubic feet of space, compared to the 2024 RAM 1500’s 120 cubic feet. This extra space is especially noticeable in the Silverado’s rear seat. The RAM 1500’s rear seating feels more cramped in comparison.
Higher trims of both trucks can feature leather seating surfaces and dual-zone climate control, with rear air vents and optional heated front and outboard rear seats. The Silverado 1500 stands out with its digital instrument cluster, unlike the RAM 1500.
Standard tech features for both trucks include Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, as well as Bluetooth® integration. However, the Silverado 1500’s higher trims boast a 13.4-inch touchscreen, while the RAM 1500 tops out with a 12-inch screen. The Silverado also offers Amazon Alexa and Google voice assistant on higher trims, while experts like the critics at Car and Driver have referred to the RAM 1500’s infotainment system as “glitchy.”
The Silverado 1500’s cargo beds have a similar capacity to the RAM 1500’s, but Chevy’s optional Multi-Flex tailgate offers multiple configurations, including a half tailgate, bed step, load stop, and even a seating surface. In contrast, the RAM 1500 features an available split tailgate as well as a more traditional tailgate as standard equipment.
TurboMax-equipped variants have an 8-speed automatic transmission, while other engines get a 10-speed automatic. Some trims include paddle shifters for manual gear selection, and buyers can choose between rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive.
For off-road enthusiasts, the ZR2 trim offers enhanced capabilities with the 6.2-liter V8 or Duramax diesel engines, adaptive dampers, underbody protection, 33-inch mud-terrain tires, and steel front and rear bumpers.
In terms of conventional towing capacity, the Silverado 1500 leads with up to 13,300 pounds, while the RAM 1500 maxes out at 12,750 pounds.
Every 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 includes automatic emergency braking, blind spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert, along with lane departure warning and lane-keeping assist. GM’s SuperCruise semi-autonomous driving suite, featuring adaptive cruise control, is available as an option.
The 2024 RAM 1500 offers a great many safety features, but it can’t match up to the Silverado.
The 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is our top pick among full-size pickup trucks, outshining the 2024 RAM 1500 in every category. Ready to experience the Silverado 1500 for yourself? Visit Walt Massey Chevrolet and take a test drive today. Our team is here to help you find the perfect match.
