Silverado 2500 vs Ram 2500: Performance & Capability

Under the hood of the 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500 is either a standard 6.6L V8 Direct Injection engine or a 6.6L Duramax^Ò Turbo-Diesel V8 engine. The latter engine pumps out a whopping 445 horsepower and 910 lb-ft of torque.

With this kind of power and other available equipment, the Silverado 2500 can tow up to 18,500 pounds of trailer weight.¹ Parallel this to the capabilities of the 2020 Ram 2500, which are significantly lacking in comparison.

The Ram 2500 can only tow up to 12,750 pounds of trailer weight, which is nearly 6,000 pounds less than the Silverado 2500. This is a result of the fact that it maxes out at 480 lb-ft of torque, which is less than half of the amount of torque you’ll get with the Silverado 2500.
