Ram vs GMC: Performance

Both trucks offer standard rear-wheel drives with the option of 4-wheel drive. You’ll find standard V6 engines with both of these trucks that offer some solid acceleration and towing power. The Ram 1500 uses a 3.6L V6 engine that generates 305 horsepower, while the GMC 1500 comes standard with a 4.3L V6 engine that only produces 285 horsepower.

What really sets the Ram 1500 apart from its competitors is its smooth driving. The Ram 1500 uses a standard TorqueFlite® 8-speed automatic transmission to ensure smooth driving and an even power band. The GMC 1500 only comes standard with a 6-speed automatic transmission that doesn’t provide the same level of control.

High-Tech Driver-Assistance Features

Whether your trips take you into the city or you just need a little help navigating a work site, the Ram 1500 and the GMC Sierra 1500 feature driver-assistance systems. Both of these vehicles provide you with an available Surround View Camera that offers a clear, complete view of your surrounding by using multiple cameras along your truck’s body.

You’ll find some extra technology aboard the Ram 1500, though, thanks to its available Parallel and Perpendicular Park Assist with Stop. Just turn this feature on and your truck will search for an appropriate parking space. Your vehicle will then automatically steer you into the parking space, so all you have to do is work the shifter as directed.

Premium Audio Technology

When designing the Ram 1500, every effort was made to elevate it as a mobile entertainment center. That’s why this truck offers an available Harman Kardon® Premium Audio system with up to 19 speakers. This system will produce the exceptional sound quality you’re looking for when playing your favorite tunes on the open road.

Unfortunately, you won’t find quite as many premium speakers aboard the GMC Sierra 1500. That’s because this truck only offers an available Bose® Premium Sound System with seven speakers. You’ll notice the difference in sound quality with the reduced speaker count inside this truck.
