The performance capabilities of each truck are respectable in their own right. The 2021 RAM 1500 has four engine types, and one of them can be had in two distinct styles. They are typically more powerful than the Chevy engines, and a mild-hybrid feature makes them more fuel-efficient.
The basic engine in the 2021 RAM 1500 is a 3.6-liter V6 paired to a 48-volt hybrid system called eTorque that adds 90 pound-feet to the 269 pound-feet of torque. The next engine up is the 5.7-liter V8 that produces 395 horsepower and 410 pound-feet of twist. The V8 has the option of pairing with the eTorque system for an added 130 pound-feet. The heftiest non-diesel engine is a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 that makes a massive 702 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque, which is only available on the top-of-the-line RAM 1500 TRX. For every other trim, if you want more torque, you need the 3.0-liter V6 diesel.
The 2021 Silverado 1500 comes with a 285-horsepower V6, a 310-horsepower turbocharged four, a 355-horsepower V8, or a 420-horsepower V8. There is also a six-cylinder turbodiesel that makes 277 horsepower.
The RAM 1500 can tow 12,750 pounds and haul 2,320 pounds. The Silverado 1500 pulls up to 13,300 pounds and transports 2,280 pounds.
The NHTSA gave five stars to the 2021 RAM 1500 and four to the 2021 Silverado 1500. Both cars come with driver-assist features to help you keep your eyes on the road. In the RAM 1500, you have blind-spot monitoring, automated emergency braking, and lane-keeping assist.
