2022 Ram Classic vs. 2022 Chevrolet Silverado: The Classic Offers Better Value
July 25 2022,
The Ram Classic is the Ram 1500 you know and love, but it wears the previous, 4th generation design. Also, it doesn’t have some of the technological enhancements that the new Ram 1500 has. However, it carries the reliability, capability and performance that Ram’s full-size pickup truck is known for. And every year, Ram keeps updating the safety features of the Classic with every model year to meet the changing safety standards.
Here, we compare the 2022 Ram Classic with the 2022 Chevrolet Silverado.
The Ram Classic offers great powertrain choices and technology
The Ram classic offers a choice of two powerful engines under the hood. The 3.6-litre Pentastar develops 305 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque. This is similar to the Silverado’s base engine in terms of power, but the V6 Pentastar is much more reliable than the Silverado’s 2.7-litre.
Next, Ram Classic buyers can opt for the 5.7-litre Hemi V8. This unit deploys 395 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque. This is more than the Silverado’s most popular engine, the 5.3 L V8, which only cranks out 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque. The Ram Classic can tow up to 10,660 lb – which is plenty of towing capacity for anything you want to pull.
The Ram 1500 has always offered a more comfortable drive than the Silverado. And the Ram Classic is still ahead of its rival on that front thanks to a carefully-calibrated suspension that perfectly absorbs road imperfections.
Proven technologies inside the 2022 Ram Classic
The 2022 Ram Classic is offered in Tradesman, SLT, Express, Night Edition, and Warlock editions. The Silverado doesn’t have models that can compete with the Night and Warlock editions in terms of style.
Also, the Ram Classic uses Ram’s super intuitive UConnect system, which is filled with features and apps to help you on the road. Chevrolet was never able to come up with an infotainment system that can rival the UConnect.
In the end, the Ram Classic offers you plenty of performance, comfort and technology at a much better price. Indeed, the Ram Classic is offered at a very low starting price of $33,990. The Silverado, on the other hand, starts at $37,448. Come see the Ram Classic in our showroom today!
