Coming in at the top of their respective lines are the 2021 Ram 3500 Limited and the 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 High Country. While they both offer similar exterior features - such as full LED lighting - they each have very different styles; and BC drivers demanding a chicer highway experience will have much to consider.
Â
The premium Ram 3500 Limited is dripping in chrome. You will find this shiny coating on the 20-inch wheels, door handles, front and back bumpers, mouldings, and 7 x 11-inch side trailer-tow mirrors. These accents bring a luxury esthetic into this heavy-duty pickup - especially when paired with its available eight pearl or metallic colours.
Â
Meanwhile, the Chevy’s best option gets mostly body-coloured embellishments (aside from the chrome door handles and mirror caps). Its grille is black, and the six-inch side steps are in fixed positions. This means that you can’t hide them when they are not in use, creating a less than slim profile.Â

If you are considering purchasing a heavy-duty pickup, then you are probably needing it for more than everyday errands. Instead you require superior functionality to dominate the work-site; and, while there are many competitors on the market, the details make all the difference. Looking at the beds on the 2021 Ram 3500 Limited vs the 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 High Country, you can easily see which truck has more to offer.
Â
The top-tier 3500 comes with the Rambox Cargo Management System. Adding watertight, lockable storage compartments into the sides of the bed, this option ensures that you can secure your tools and gear. Since these bins are also drainable, you can empty, wash, and dry them if they get dirty from holding muddy boots. Also each space is lit so that you can see what’s inside at night.
Â
On the other hand, the premium Silverado 3500 doesn’t have a feature like this. It does include a spray-in liner to prevent scratches and cargo tie-downs, but the Ram 3500 also comes with these enhancements - making the decision an easy one for BC drivers.
Â
At the end of the day, nothing can compare to the new Ram 3500! Contact us to learn more.

When it comes to heavy-duty pickups, the one with the best technology tends to come out on top. Comparing the 2021 Ram 3500 Limited to the 2021 GMC Sierra 3500 Denali, you can easily see which premium model has the advantage.
Â
Equipped with the Uconnect 12.0 NAV infotainment system, the Ram comes with a massive 12-inch touchscreen. Serving as the main interface, you can view the live video feed from the backup camera or operate the vast selection of entertainment options all in one convenient location.
Â
On the flip side, the GMC truck has a tiny 8-inch monitor installed. While both vehicles have the same connectivity functions (Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth, and onboard Wi-Fi), the smaller viewing port on the Sierra makes it the less user-friendly option.

If you are looking for a top-of-the-line heavy-duty pickup, then you should take a peek at the 2021 Ram 3500 Limited and the 2021 GMC Sierra 3500 Denali. Boasting extreme exterior features to get the job done right, which model will reign supreme?
Â
The Ram 3500 Limited rides on large 20-inch aluminum wheels with a chrome-plated finish and on/off-road tires. Since it is such a giant, it also comes with power-deployable running boards to help passengers climb inside the cabin.
Â
On the other hand, the GMC Sierra 3500 Denali rolls on 20-inch polished aluminum wheels with all-terrain tires. Featuring fixed side steps, you can't hide them when they are not in use.
Â
The main difference between these two models is the Rambox Cargo Management System. Adding water-proof, lockable/drainable storage compartments to the truck’s bed, you can organize your tools easily. The Sierra 3500 isn’t equipped with anything like this.

When it comes to heavy-duty trucks, sometimes power doesn’t equate to better performance. Pitting the 2021 Ram 3500 against the 2021 Sierra 3500 is a prime example of this.
Â
Equipped with the standard 6.4-litre HEMI V8 engine and an 8-speed automatic transmission, the Ram 3500 produces 410 hp and 429 lb-ft of torque. If you pop the hood of the Sierra 3500, you will find a 6.6-litre V8 with a 6-speed automatic transmission that makes 401 hp and 464 lb-ft of torque.
Â
Keep these numbers in mind, the towing capacities of each model are quite different. With the Fifth-Wheel/Gooseneck package, the Ram can pull up to 8,259 kgs (18,210 lbs), and the Sierra can only manage to haul 7,497 kgs (16,530 lbs). That can make a substantial difference on a construction site.

With a best-in-class performance, the 2021 Ram 3500 is hard to beat in terms of diesel output. While the 2021 Sierra 3500 puts up a decent fight, it doesn’t hold a candle to this beast.
Â
Growling under the hood of the Ram 3500 is a 6.7-litre H.O. turbo-diesel I-6 motor mated with a 6-speed automatic transmission. Showcasing brute strength, this unit can generate 420 hp and a jaw-dropping 1,075 lb-ft of torque. With the proper equipment, it can even pull 16,828 kgs (37,100 lbs) with ease.
Â
On the other hand, the Sierra 3500 is fitted with a 6.6-litre turbo-diesel V8 that makes 445 hp and only 910 lb-ft of torque. Paired with a 10-speed Allison automatic transmission, its maximum towing limit with a gooseneck attachment is about 7,443 kgs (16,410 lbs). That is nowhere near the monstrous Ram.

While exterior style is more of a personal preference, it’s easy to tell which pickup has more practical features on the outside. Comparing the 2021 Ram 3500 Laramie to the 2021 Ford Super-Duty F-350 XLT, you will see which one offers a more promising ride.
Â
The Ram rolls on 18-inch polished aluminum wheels with all-season tires. While the fender flares are the same colour as the body of the truck, the rest of the accents boast a shiny chrome finish. These include the grille, front/back bumpers, light casing surrounds, and door handles. LED bulbs illuminate your path clearly, the 7 x 11-inch trailer-tow mirrors are power-adjustable and heated with integrated turn signals.
Â
On the other hand, the Ford model travels on smaller 17-inch steel wheels with the same tire set. Decorated in black and chrome accents, you won’t find LED lights on this vehicle. It comes with quad-dual beam halogens instead.

If you are searching for a mid-level heavy-duty pickup that has a stellar infotainment system, then you need to compare the 2021 Ram 3500 Laramie to the 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 LT.
Â
The Laramie features the Uconnect 4C multimedia centre that is displayed on an 8.4-inch touchscreen. Operating with hands-free Bluetooth and smartphone integration (Apple CarPlay/Android Auto), you can use all of your mobile functions without any distractions. You also get a premium 9-speaker stereo along with a complimentary 1-year subscription to SiriusXM satellite radio.
Â
On the other hand, the Chevy 3500 LT comes with a smaller 7-inch monitor for its interface. Although it does have the same functions and connectivity components, the stereo only has 2 to 6 speakers depending on the cab style. As for satellite radio, you get 3 months of it for free instead of 12.

If gasoline isn’t your cup of tea for a super-duty truck, then you may want to know more about the diesel options. The new 2021 Ram 3500 offers a class-leading performance that other competitors - like the 2021 Ford F-350 - can’t touch.
Â
Roaring underneath the hood of the Ram is a 6.7-litre High-Output turbo-diesel Inline-6 engine. Using a 6-speed automatic transmission, it delivers 420 hp and an astonishing 1,075 lb-ft of torque. Due to this extreme capability, it can haul up to 16,828 kg (37,100 lbs) without breaking a sweat.
Â
Switching gears for a moment, you will find a comparable 6.7-litre Power Stroke turbo-diesel V8 on the Ford. It offers 475 hp, but it can only push out 1,050 lb-ft of torque. While the maximum towing capacity can vary greatly depending on the cab configuration, it is limited to about 9,071 kg (20,000 lbs).

When it comes to heavy-duty pickups, the performance output can make all the difference in the world. Comparing the new 2021 Ram 3500 to the 2021 Ford F-350, you can see how these two models size up against each other.
Â
Popping the hood of the Ram 3500, you will find the robust 6.4-litre HEMI V8. Using a multi-displacement system and a 6-speed automatic transmission, it pumps out a best-in-class 410 hp and 429 lb-ft of torque. Fitted with the Fifth-Wheel/Gooseneck Prep Group, it can pull up to 8,259 kg (18,210 lbs).
Â
On the other hand, the 2021 Ford F-350 comes standard with a 6.2-litre V8 motor. Producing 385 hp and 430 lb-ft of torque, it simply can’t best the Ram. Since it is a smaller powertrain, the towing limit is quite a bit lower too. It can only handle up to 5,896 kg (13,000 lbs).
