Ram 3500 vs Chevy Silverado 3500: Drivetrain Efficiency

Both the 2022 Ram 3500 and 2022 Chevy Silverado 3500 have powerful standard V8 engines. These engines have the ability to haul more and tow heavier cargo when you need to get supplies to that preservation project in Franklin’s historic district.

Each truck also comes standard in rear-wheel drive (RWD). This improves handling and balance, giving you more control on uneven ground in construction zones and when you’re hauling a heavy load. You’ll also notice that RWD allows your truck to move from a standstill with record acceleration.

While the Silverado 3500 comes standard with a 6-speed automatic transmission, the Ram 3500 comes with an 8-speed automatic transmission. The advantage of the Ram’s transmission is that it is more compact, produces less friction, and provides more power output.

Strength in Safety

As powerful as these trucks are, the 2022 Ram 3500 and 2022 Silverado 3500 have safety features that contribute even more to their enduring strength.

The Ram 3500 also has an advanced lighting system that cannot be found in the Silverado 3500. The available Adaptive Forward Lighting System can greatly improve your visibility in low-light conditions.

The feature uses steering wheel input to detect the truck’s intended travel path and automatically turns the headlamps that way, as far as 15°. This gives you extra lighting around parking lots, turns, and driveways.
