RAM 2500 vs GMC Sierra 2500

Hold onto your hats, pickup-lovers, because this week's review is a head-to-head between two of the hardest working pickups on the market today by two of the leading manufacturers of trucks on the roads: GMC and Ram. When it comes to power, convenience, performance, and play, you couldn't do better than choosing the heavy-duty models from either of these manufacturers.

One thing drivers in New Holland, Lancaster, and Reading want to know, however, is which one stands out ahead of the other for work and day-to-day driving? Here's a thorough comparison from New Holland CDJR with a breakdown of the Ram 2500 and the GMC Sierra 2500 and where you can take a test drive of the best.

Ram 2500 vs GMC Sierra 2500: Towing Prowess

What would a truck like the Ram 2500 or the GMC Sierra 2500 be without excellent towing capabilities? To help you achieve the oomph you need, these two trucks are designed with available turbo diesel engines which help to bring the most out of already robust powertrains.

Drivers making use of the Ram 2500 will be in for a treat with its available 6.7L Cummins® Turbo Diesel I6 engine. When this powertrain is running at its fullest potential, you can reach a max towing capacity of up to 19,780 pounds.

The GMC Sierra 2500 makes a valiant effort of competing with the Ram 2500, but it doesn’t quite match up even when using its available 6.6L Duramax® Turbo-Diesel V8 engine. Using this powertrain, you’ll only be able to achieve a max towing capacity of up to 14,500 pounds, so you won’t be able to tow quite as easily.

Available Premium Audio Systems

Do you like to have fun inside your truck? If you’re looking to add a soundtrack to your adventure, both of these trucks are designed with available premium audio systems to keep you engaged wherever you go.

Aboard the Ram 2500, drivers will have the option to equip this vehicle with an available 17-speaker Harman Kardon® Premium Audio System. This technology provides drivers with a high-quality listening experience that will have them singing along while they tackle off-road driving.

Unfortunately, you won’t find quite the same sound fidelity when you drive the GMC Sierra 2500. This truck features an available Bose® sound system with up to seven speakers available to you. While these speakers feature exceptional quality, you won’t achieve that concert quality sound due to the lack of additional speakers.
