Engine Options

Being Houston RAM dealers, drivers rely on us to explain how the RAM 1500 bests competitors like the Chevrolet Silverado 1500. In terms of maximum engine output, the RAM 1500 outdoes its rival in spectacular fashion.

While the RAM 1500 is available with three other impressive powerplants, the truck’s most powerful engine is an available supercharged 6.2-liter V8 HEMI® unit. This engine produces a whopping 702 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque.

Like the RAM 1500, the new Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is offered with your choice of four engines. Output from those powerplants ranges from 383 lb-ft of torque and 305 horsepower up to 495 lb-ft of torque and 420 horsepower. As you can tell, even the most powerful of the Chevy truck’s engines can’t keep up with the supercharged V8 engine that powers the RAM 1500.

Road Manners

When they contact or visit Helfman Chrysler Dodge Jeep® RAM, an increasing number of motorists say they’re looking for a pickup as their next daily driver or family vehicle. With that in mind, many drivers are concerned about how trucks handle the road.

New RAM trucks have long been celebrated for their handling, with the 2023 RAM 1500 setting the standard for road manners in its hotly competitive class. With perfectly weighted steering and a well-tuned suspension, the truck handles the road more like a luxury automobile than a work truck.

The pickup’s steering and transmission respond to driver inputs immediately. An available Active-Level™ Four Corner Air Suspension automatically lowers the truck for maximum aerodynamics and minimum drag. Plus, an active air dam extends downward to reduce drag at speeds over 30 miles per hour.

By comparison, passengers may notice imperfect road conditions when they’re in the Chevy Silverado 1500, especially in models with wheels that are bigger than 18 inches.
