Ram 1500 vs Sierra 1500: Which Tows More?
The Ram 1500 and Sierra 1500 are two powerful trucks. When you put all that power to work, though, which one has more muscle when it counts most?
The Sierra model's max towing capacity of 12,100 pounds lends it lots of stature on the roads. However, it's the Ram 1500 that takes the win in this category. It can tow up to 12,750 pounds when properly equipped, helping it blast past its competition. From camper trailers to the family boat, there's little the Ram cannot handle.
Both trucks offer features to enhance your towing experience. An available ProGradeâ„¢ Trailering System sets the Sierra up for success with an integrated camera and trailering app. The Ram 1500 counters with a Trailer Detection feature as part of its Blind Spot Monitoring system.
Interior: The Most Luxurious Truck in its Class
That's quite a title for a pickup truck to earn! The only question is: Which truck does it best apply to? The Ram 1500 and GMC Sierra make strong plays for that claim to fame. As you move up trim levels, you can find real wood accents and premium leather seats.
However, the Ram 1500 earns points for its rugged style. The Laramie Longhorn is outfitted with Natura Plus leather in shades of Mountain Brown and Light Mountain Brown. That's not all-a filigree pattern is available along the seat edges for extra aesthetic appeal. Even the deluxe Sierra Denali can't keep up!
The Sierra uses quality materials, but it lacks the same level of attention to design. The Ram truck offers more spacious rear legroom, too-up to 45.1 inches, compared to the Sierra model's max of 43.4 inches.
Advanced Truck Technology at Your Fingertips
As you haul heavy loads between worksites or tow your boat on the weekends, you'll want the features to keep you connected on your drive. The Ram 1500 and Sierra 1500 keep infotainment and critical data at your fingertips with advanced multimedia systems.
The Ram model's Uconnect® system and its GMC counterpart come standard in the base trims of these trucks. They include Bluetooth® wireless for hands-free calling and audio streaming on the go. You can connect your smartphone via Apple CarPlay® or Android Auto™, too.
Only the Ram 1500 offers a vertical 12-inch touchscreen, though. This optional feature has a split-screen mode, letting you see and control multiple features in a more intuitive way!
Is the Ram 1500 or GMC Sierra a Better Buy?
The 2020 Ram 1500 and GMC Sierra strive to elevate style and quality. Their effort doesn't go unnoticed, either-Sioux Falls, Belle Fourche, and Rapid City shoppers can appreciate the careful craftsmanship.
When it comes to performance, technology, and interior design, though, the Ram truck snags some key wins over its competitor. See if you agree and schedule a test drive at Liberty Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram FIAT today! Â
