Modern pickup trucks are not just tough workhorses that can haul, tow, and drive over rough terrain. These vehicles have now picked up many of the finer qualities found in sedans, SUVs, and even luxury cars.
As the truck wars heighten, two very popular models have risen to the top, the 2022 RAM 1500 and the 2022 Chevy Silverado 1500. Two capable pickup trucks that offer customers a great mix of style, versatility, durability, and luxury.
While it’s quite clear that the 2022 RAM 1500 gets an edge over the 2022 Silverado 1500, we take a closer look at both models to erase any hint of doubt as to why the former is the pickup truck for you.

Being large hulking pickup trucks, people automatically think they are all spacious inside. While the first assumption may be true, and both do seem spacious enough inside, they all don’t have the same passenger cabin volume.
This is where the 2022 RAM 1500 gets the edge as it offers 117.2 cubic feet compared to the 2022 Silverado 1500, which only has 92.80 cubic feet. Some of you may not feel the difference of an extra 24.4 cubic feet, but that may mean the difference between a relaxed ride and a stiff back when you get to your destination.
Plus, the 2022 RAM 1500’s second row offers eight degrees of slide recline, heated and cooled seats, a flat-load floor with integrated RamBin, tie-down rings, and expandable under-seat storage.
In terms of infotainment equipment, the 2022 RAM 1500 gets the Uconnect 5 system with a massive 12-inch touch screen. It comes with split-screen capability, 360-degree camera views, and content from SiriusXM with 360L and personalized stations powered by Pandora. It also includes the Know & Go mobile app featuring an immersive experience for customers who want to learn more about their vehicles.
Inside the 2022 Silverado 1500 is a 13.4-inch-diagonal horizontal touchscreen and a 12.3-inch-diagonal digital, configurable instrument cluster. It comes with Google built-in compatibility including wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability, as well as available Amazon Alexa.
Under the hood of the 2022 RAM 1500 is a 3.6L V6 24V VVT eTorque Engine mated to an eight-speed automatic 850RE transmission. It puts out 305 horsepower and 267 pound-feet of torque and offers superb fuel economy in city and highway driving conditions.
The 2022 Silverado 1500 uses a much smaller engine with 2.7L in displacement. Power output is 310 horsepower and 348 pound-feet of torque. It is mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission as well. Recent reviews of this truck indicate that its fuel efficiency has gone down due to several factors, including the removal of several features like the auto start/stop feature (due to chip shortage) and cylinder deactivation.
The 2022 RAM 1500 has up to 12,750 pounds of towing capability and 2,300 pounds of payload while the 2022 Silverado 1500 only has a maximum trailering rating of 9,500 pounds in a two-wheel drive configuration.
To enhance passenger protection, the 2022 RAM 1500 offers active safety and security systems. These include adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning, blind-spot monitoring, ready alert braking, and electronic roll mitigation. It also offers electronic stability control, hill-start assist, and a plethora of air bags. Plus, it comes with class-leading ride and handling via a segment-exclusive link-coil rear suspension system with optional active-level four-corner air suspension.
For the new 2022 Silverado, Chevy Safety Assist comes standard. This suite of active safety features includes forward collision alert, following distance indicator, and automatic emergency braking. It also offers lane keep assist with lane departure warning, front pedestrian braking, and IntelliBeam auto high beams.
