I like both the chrome and body-colored appearance packages. I am a lifelong Chevy truck owner. I would buy the Ram 1500 over the Silverado 1500. I absolutely think the Ram 2500 with the Cummins and rear coils is a great truck, inside and out. But, I think I would buy the Silverado 2500 with the Duramax/Allison powertrain. And, I really enjoy Truck King channel. This is an informative and entertaining channel. It is well-produced. And, I really like the older and younger perspectives when vehicles are being reviewed.

I’m a Cummins fanatic, I love my 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 5.9 turbo diesel. It’s funny how my Laramie edition seems like a plane Jane in today’s options.

[@jexusgamingyt1957]

My dad is a huge Cummins guy fan. We have had around 2 dodge trucks and 4 ram trucks and we have absolutely loved them: 1998 5.9 magnum dually was a fantastic truck. 2002 1500 4.7 Crew cab slt. Also a 2013 6.7 longhorn mega cab dually on 37’s. 2014 6.7 3500 crew cab long bed dually. 2019 6.7 crew cab long bed tradesmen. 2019 6.7 3500 Laramie longhorn mega cab dually And we only went through one transmission. It’s was on the 2014. Besides that my only problem was that the 2002 had super cheap interior. I love these new rams so much like they have changed a lot throughout the years. Best for towing, smoothest ride and best mpg on a dually.(on the high output 6.7 cummins)

[@eddyangueira4369]

I have a 2020 Ram 2500 Laramie Mega Cab 4x4 w/ a Cummins and Air Suspension. I freaking love this truck! My previous truck was a 2018 Big Horn 2500 Cummins 4x4. My 2020 was such a huge upgrade. I used to be a GM fanboy until had to Lemon Law back to back GM SUV.

Same here- 2015 Yukon Denali falling apart at 40K miles.

[@jadenvos8381]

Difference in payload is due to difference in GVWR. No squat comparison? Despite higher GVWR the chev appeared to squat as much or more.

[@nathanelston3685]

I have a 2019 high country and my dad has a 2020 big horn. Personally, I prefer the high country. The seats sit much lower in the Chevy, the front floor board is actually pretty flat whereas the floor panels in the ram are very narrow on driver and passenger sides. The pedals are too far towards the middle and my right foot doesn’t agree with the driving angle. And the mirrors sit back a bit too far to me in the ram. I do like the power and ride in the ram and it is a great truck. But over the road for long hauls, these things are important to make sure the truck fits you personally. Dad and I both do hot shot hauling with bumper pulls and goosenecks.

[@willrector9716]

I currently own both those vehicles... I tow 19.5k lbs.....and I live in the mountains so steep pulls..... I do construction work. The dodge rides nice unloaded or partial l Ioaded as I call it at 10k... the chevy isn't happy unless it has at least 10k on it... rides crappie and stuff but I will say at the full load it will run circles around that dodge.... in every way, it is the most capable bad ass hauler I have ever used! Engine and transmission work soooo well together! I'm selling the dodge

[@erikaty99]

I am now trying to decide in between these 2. I’ve always been a gm guy but I will be using this for towing mainly. how many miles do you have on each one? Can you tell us a little more of why you like the Chevy more than the ram please.

[@willrector9716]

@@erikaty99 I have 37k on the chevy and 14k on the ram...... I haul a lot so I choose to drive the chevy more often. All the controls on the chevy are easy to use and are in placed well. The ram has much nicer interior and rides a little softer unloaded. Ram is great for loads from 6k to 15k with the airbags but when it gets heavier the chevy is much better at shifting braking and the power is waaay better. Both solid trucks but I like the bow tie better.

Great review but one suggestion. On your leaderboard, group the ratings by trailer weight and not 0-60. On your current board, it looks like the Ford 7.3 is the quickest; however, it was towing 3K pounds less, which obviously makes a difference. You have a great channel and I love Truck King!

The ~$9k cost is offset by the residual value when compared to gassers. Maintenance is negligible (no spark plugs, brake pads rarely need changed when using exhaust brake, etc.).

Simply for the 2500’s the Chevy is better just for work but for ride,mpg,interior and torque the 6.7 high output 3500 duallys are the best 🤝🙂.

First, I really appreciate your Dad's opinion on his thoughts about the Chevy. I'm a GM guy. Its hard to go against the grain, when your father retired from GM. It's all what you have been around. Plus the discount helps when buying new.! I feel that maybe GM might bring a coil spring back to the rear. And if so, most people will say that they are copying Ram. But they had that back in the 60's and early 70's. On their half tons. So, I guess we will see what happens in the future design. The interior of the GM is Dated. But that's about to change finally too.! I actually prefer not to have a huge screen. Too much technology as if we don't have enough distractions already while driving.!! My wife's 2017 Grand Cherokee has everything through the screen. I take my eyes off the road for far too long just to adjust the seat heat.! Or turn off heated steering wheel. It's a pain when you don't drive it every day. I guess I just like when trucks were just trucks. And not trying to be a luxury car. I have a 2015 GMC crew cab half ton Z71. I've put 1200 lbs more in the bed than it was rated for. Not for a long time, but still. Yeah it flexed the frame a bit , but everything was fine after it was unloaded of wet road gravel. It's a truck.! Everyone called me nuts for doing so. But hey I didn't buy a 5 seater grocery getter. Lol.

They base payload with a driver and full tank a fuel as well. Idk what they weight limit of the driver is tho

You can get airbags on the ram if you want to haul heavy

Just found the channel and love the videos fellas. The new RAM 2500 has just been released here in Australia and is around $165k before on road costs for the Laramie spec. I have no need for it as my 1500 Laramie suites me just fine.

Welcome aboard!

[@mahhty4279]

For towing I want the ram. For hauling I want the Chevy. In-line 6 is so much more reliable

[@rodgood]

so the 6.7 will outlast the Duramax ? Will the Allison fail before the new 68 re

[@ChrisP-mk8wt]

@@rodgood exactly! The Duramax is just as reliable than a Cummins.. V8 tows at highway speeds so much better than the in-line 6

[@ChrisP-mk8wt]

@@maccheese9072 million mile Duramax’s out there with lots of them going over 500,000 miles of heavy use. Show me data that proves Cummins last longer. It does not exist, they are both good motors and will last just as long as the next.

[@ChrisP-mk8wt]

@@maccheese9072 proof? I can say Duramax has more million mile but no data to prove. It’s just he says, she says…. It’s not more reliable, I promise you that. I’ve seen Cummins being rebuilt after 300,000 miles or less, if taken care of they both with be very dependable motors and do what a guy needs them to do.

[@ChrisP-mk8wt]

@@maccheese9072 they put Duramax in semis, heavy haulers and equipment. What’s your point? Cummins just has a broader marketing department to put engines in. Has nothing to do with reliability. Keep drinking the cool aid haha.

What was the chevy rear axle a 3.42? Could explain its MPG advanatge more than the tranny….given that its rated to tow less…where the cummins has a 3.73….

[@rpsmith]

I would like to see a Gopro pointed at the front of the rear differential when you do your 0-60 run.

[@johnelsonjr.6008]

Both are nice Trucks but , I would buy the Silverado H.D. I don't think I would like the Rear coil springs on a New truck. If you're only concerned about what the interior looks like well then , Your buying for looks Only with the Ram. When I look at buying a Truck the first and most important things I look for in a truck is What am I going to be doing with the truck? Hauling and Towing ? Payloads, Hauling heavy loads like Firewood, Heavy Furniture, Gravel, Sand etc. Pulling Heavy Trailers such as Boat trailers , Car hauler trailers etc. If I was concerned about what it Looked like inside and a Smooth ride I would probably go with a Nice Cadillac or Buick.

The Chevy needs a full screen backup camera, why have the overhead truck pic splitting the screen, it blocks turning and backup edges of the bumper.

[@barrigany]

Serious question here, and it revolves around payload and the constant debate of 3/4 ton trucks being under rated. I understand GM raised the GVWR of their 3/4 ton trucks, to just over 11K, effectively raising the payload rating. Was this done artificially, or did they engineer upgraded components on the truck? Because this will squash the arguments over ram 2500 owners being overloaded in some applications and whether the rating is more artificial and red tape, than by engineering. Great videos by the way. Thank you.

[@TruckKing]

Look at the combined axle weight ratings - minus curb weight. That’s closer to a true payload number.

[@youarerightboss]

Both trucks are Winners 👍🏆

[@chadsteele1]

Lastly Trucks are WAY over Priced. The car industry needs a reset. Its prices are out of this world.

[@JohnSmith-ev1sm]

That ram is absolutely gorgeous in every way; paint, body colored bumpers, rims, interior etc. The chevy has the edge in powertrain though, so I guess I'd have to agree with your dad 100% in this video. They chevy is an ugly duckling but will get the job done a little more easy and a little more crudely. When you're not towing though, the Ram wins hands down so it's just a matter of how badly you need the extra power/weight/headroom that the chevy gives you.

[@wint_62]

Chevy all day & it’s the best looking. Ram can do interior all day - too bad they can’t do engines and power-trains.

[@JohnSmith-ev1sm]

@@wint_62 Don't make me laugh, the chevy looks like a chrome turd with a plastic interior. As for powertrain, you might want to look at the 3500 to see how badly chevy gets their shit handed to them by Ram. This is simply a packaging/marketing detail, Ram feels the 2500 is capable enough with the current drive train and if you need more you move up to the Ram 3500 which is currently the most powerful truck around.

[@Crazy_clown6969]

Me personally I don’t like Ram years because I toast so much that I have to lift them up and down so often I just rather have a set of mirrors that were permanently set and it sucks happen adjust them all the time

[@chrisseglem3300]

is there something odd about the ram hood at the end of the video ? it looks like its not closed all the way but when you look at the sides of the hood it does look like its closed all the way ???? am i seeing this wrong ??

[@his.purpose]

Thank God Chevy did color match a few of their models, because that HUGE chrome beast of a front grill is freakin’ ugly. Chrome is dead. And still they upcharge for the blackout. And I'm a Chevy guy. Oh, brother. Today, dad’s Ram has the better look. Black is beautiful. Chevy wins with the "Step-side" solution - and the "Spec" sticker! And - heads up display, payload, Ram wins with the mirrors, smoother ride, auto trailer length indicator, and the better value with the best engine and towing capacity. There really is no better engine than the Cummins, but the Chevy payload presents a quandary. It may be necessary to bump up to the Ram 3500HD to eliminate the payload shortfall. That’s really where the rubber meets the road. The Ram is the overall better puller, but the payload could be a deal breaker. Excellent comparison! Keep it up guys!

[@jasonatkins3700]

We run both ram and chev 1 tons. Both are great trucks for what we do but the rams out perform the GM’s in almost every aspect except fuel usage which is close but the GM’s are better, and DEF usage which the GM’s blow the ram out of the water with. The ram interiors are on a whole other level too. Far nicer and much more comfortable, the GM interior is stuck in 2006

[@CraigSmith568]

For me I like a lot of the touches of the Chevy like the side step and the bumper step. I really don't need the Diesel, so I would opt for a gas engine in either one and there I would probably go for the Ram since the Chevy requires premium fuel for the 6.2 engine. The interior isn't important to me at all. I have a 2000 model truck now and the interior is just fine. I want rubber floors, crank windows and manual locks with cloth seats. Same with these big screens on the dash. I could do without any screen at all. The only reason I would ever use a camera would be to hook up a trailer. Finally though the looks of the Chevy is just hideous. No way I could look at that every time I got out of it without throwing up. For my needs I would probably opt for the Ford with the 7.3 gas engine standard cab and an eight foot bed.

[@EGGINFOOLS]

The gas option is a 6.6 liter and it doesn't require premium. The 6.2 is for the 1500
