Comparing the 2019 Ram 1500 and the 2019 Chevy Silverado shows you just how these two stack up when it comes to engine, exterior, and interior features.

Exterior
If you have seen previous year model Silverados and Rams, you will easily notice that many of the same features have been carried over and can immediately recognize each for the 2019 model. The main difference is going to be personal preference when it comes to how you like your trucks to look.
The Silverado has an unmistakable box style look that really shows the rugged yet technologically advanced features while the Ram carries over its smoother, more luxurious looks. This has always been a topic of debate when it comes to comparing the two as the Silverado’s larger body style has been a hate it or love it type of look.

With the Silverado, you are going to find rear seat storage that is a huge plus for those wanting more interior storage space. As for the Dodge Ram, you are going to get upgraded options not found on many trucks such as a panoramic sunroof and heated/cooled/reclining rear seats for the ultimate car driving experience.
