If you are thinking about purchasing a new full-size pickup, then you may be wondering which model offers the strongest horsepower output. Comparing the 2021 Ram 2500 to the 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 2500, you can quickly see which model is the winner.
The standard engine on the Ram 2500 is the 6.4 litre HEMI V8. Partnered with an 8-speed automatic transmission and Variable-Cam Timing (VCT), this beast delivers 410 hp (best in class) and 429 lb-ft of torque. As for towing, it can manage up to 7,956 kg (17,540 lbs) without breaking a sweat.
On the other hand, the competing Chevrolet Silverado 2500 uses a larger 6.6 litre V8 motor. However, bigger doesn't always mean better. Mated with a 6-speed automatic transmission, it generates 401 hp and 464 lb-ft of torque. It has much a lower pulling limit as well. This truck can only haul up to 6,577 kg (14,500 lbs). That is quite a massive drop down from the Ram 2500.
