We know you have a lot of choices to make when it comes to buying a new truck. That’s why we’ve put together this helpful guide that showcases two of the top pickups in the market: the Silverado 1500 and the RAM 1500.

Price

Right off the bat, you’ll notice an important difference between the RAM and the Silverado. The 2024 Silverado 1500 starts at $36,800 while the 2024 RAM 1500 starts at $39,420.^[1] That’s more than $3K that you could save by choosing the Chevy truck.

Even beyond starting prices, the Silverado 1500 has an adventure-ready trim that is also more affordable than the RAM 1500’s version. The 2024 Silverado 1500 ZR2 — starting at $71,895 — comes with features like a 305-horsepower Turbo-Diesel engine that can tow 13,300 pounds, Multimatic DSSV™ dampers, an off-road cut front bumper, and 33-inch MT tires. The 2024 RAM 1500 TRX, a comparable competitor for the ZR2, starts at $96,590.^[1] It should be noted that the RAM 1500 doesn’t even offer a diesel engine at all!

Technology

You need the latest tech in your truck to stay connected, whether you’re having fun on the weekend or at the job site. The Chevy Silverado offers a 13.4-inch-diagonal color touchscreen with Google built-in, a Bose® premium sound system, standard Wi-Fi hotspot capability, and Super Cruise hands-free driver assistance technology.

Unfortunately, the RAM 1500 doesn’t have hands-free driving technology available. It does, however, come with standard tech like the Uconnect® infotainment system with a 5-inch touchscreen, charging USB ports, and available items like smartphone connectivity and a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot.

Features

The new Silverado 1500 has a lot to be proud of, including best-in-class front legroom and headroom for Crew Cabs, best-in-class cargo volume (Durabed), and the six-function Multi-Flex Tailgate. It also offers up to 14 camera views, including the transparent trailer view that gives you added confidence when towing.

On the new Ram 1500, you’ll find classic truck features like a 60/40 multifunction tailgate with swinging doors, exterior heated side mirrors, a cargo lamp, available power running boards, an available rear power-sliding window, and additional available features that you can find on higher trims of the truck.

2024 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 vs. 2024 Ford F-150 | Huntsville, TX

When it comes to capable trucks, you have a few options to choose from. The Chevy Silverado and the Ford F-150 are two of the most popular pickups in America, offering outstanding performance and capability. But let’s take a closer look at how they compare so you can get the ideal truck for your needs here in Huntsville!

Functional features

Between these two trucks, the new Silverado 1500 offers quite a few unique features that assist with capability. One of these is the six-function Multi-Flex Tailgate that helps you adapt the bed for loading and unloading cargo as well as simply accessing the area. The F-150 has its own Pro Access Tailgate, but it simply is a swing gate that doesn’t offer much more than that ability.

Comfortable interior

A truck is more than just a workhorse. You need a vehicle that will keep you comfortable, whether you’re just driving to the job site or spending a long weekend with the family. The 2024 Silverado delivers best-in-class front legroom and headroom in its Crew Cab models. For especially tall drivers, extra space is a must. And for what it’s worth, the Silverado also offers best-in-class cargo volume with its Durabed.

Advanced technology

If you want a truck that is just as smart as it is tough, you need the most cutting-edge technology available. The 2024 F-150 is outfitted with a 12-inch capacitive touchscreen with the SYNC® 4 infotainment system. Meanwhile, the 2024 Silverado 1500 has a 13.4-inch-diagonal color touchscreen with Google built-in at the ready. When it comes to safety, the F-150 has a standard rearview camera with an optional 360-degree camera. The new Silverado 1500 offers eight cameras with up to 14 views, including a transparent trailer view.

Which truck sounds like the best choice? For us, it’s definitely the 2024 Chevy Silverado 1500, which you can explore more at Wiesner of Huntsville. Come see us or contact our team to set up a test drive and see what makes this pickup so amazing!

2024 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 vs. 2024 Toyota Tundra | Huntsville, TX

The Chevrolet Silverado 1500 easily bests the Toyota Tundra in several key ways that benefit Texans. Especially if you want a truck that can work, play, and do a bit of everything in between.

Tow and haul more

Between these two trucks, only the 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is available with a diesel engine. But it’s not just any diesel under the hood — it’s one of the best Chevy has ever offered. With the optional Duramax® 3.0-liter Turbo-Diesel, the Silverado 1500 can tow up to 13,300 pounds when properly equipped.^[1] This handily outmuscles the max towing abilities of the Tundra and its i-FORCE MAX engine.

When it comes to carrying payload, the Silverado 1500 once again tops the Tundra with a maximum of 2,260 pounds.^[3] Not only that, but the Silverado offers more cargo volume than the Tundra thanks to its class-leading Durabed. And you’ll have an easier time accessing cargo thanks to the six-function Multi-Flex tailgate.

Hands-free with Super Cruise™

Are you planning on using the superior towing power of the Chevy Silverado 1500 to move a trailer, boat, or camper across the Lone Star State? Chevrolet makes that easier, too, thanks to Super Cruise™. With Trailering functionality, you can now leverage the world’s first true hands-free driving technology when towing, letting you traverse the highway with full confidence.

Super Cruise™ works on hundreds of thousands of miles across North America and has been tested by drivers to the tune of more than 140 million miles. And as for the Tundra? Toyota doesn’t offer a hands-free feature on its full-size truck whatsoever.

When you couple these perks with the fact that the 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 starts at a much lower MSRP than the Tundra — and that the awesome Silverado ZR2 is thousands more affordable than the TRD Pro — there’s no question which delivers more bang for the buck.^[2] Check out the new Chevy Silverado 1500 at Wiesner of Huntsville today.
