COMPARE CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 VS. COMPETITION

Silverado 1500 vs. RAM 1500: Engine Comparison

The Silverado 1500 has four powerful engine options:

• 2.7-liter high-performance I-4 engine (310 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque)
• 5.3-liter Ecotec3 V-8 engine (355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque)
• 6.2-liter Ecotec3 V-8 engine (420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque)
• Duramax® 3.0-liter Turbo-Diesel I-6 engine (377 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque)

Meanwhile, the RAM 1500 has five engine options:

• Supercharged 6.2-liter Hemi® V-8 engine (702 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque, available only on the RAM 1500 TRX)
• 5.7-liter Hemi® V-8 engine with eTorque (395 horsepower and 410 pound-feet of torque))
• 5.7-liter Hemi® V-8 engine (395 horsepower and 410 pound-feet of torque)
• 3.6-liter Pentastar® V-6 engine with eTorque (305 horsepower and 269 pound-feet of torque)
• 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V-6 engine (260 horsepower and 480 pound-feet of torque)

While the most powerful engine listed here is technically the RAM 1500 6.2-liter V-8 engine, that engine is available only on RAM 1500 TRX models. For engines available on more than one trim level for both trucks, no engine option matches the horsepower of the 6.2-liter V-8 engine available for the Silverado 1500.

Silverado 1500 vs. Ford F-150: Engine Comparison

The Ford F-150 has six engine options for drivers from Mill Creek to pick from:

• 3.5-liter PowerBoost™ Full Hybrid V-6 engine (430 horsepower and 570 pound-feet of torque)
• 3.5-liter EcoBoost® V-6 engine (400 horsepower and 500 pound-feet of torque)
• 2.7-liter EcoBoost® V-6 engine (325 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque)
• 5.0-liter TI-VCT V-8 engine (400 horsepower and 410 pound-feet of torque)
• 3.3-liter TI-VCT V-6 engine (290 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque)
• High-Output 3.5-liter EcoBoost® engine (450 horsepower and 510 pound-feet of torque)

Notably, the Ford F-150 does not have a single diesel engine option. There are plenty of reasons that some drivers prefer diesel engines for their trucks, including better fuel economy than gas, less maintenance, and stronger torque. If you prefer trucks with diesel engines, the Ford F-150 leaves you more or less stranded.
