Hard work pays off when you have the proper equipment on hand. That’s why choosing the best pickup is so crucial. The 2021 Ram 1500 Classic is a top competitor compared to models like the 2021 GMC Sierra 1500. Available right now at O’Connor Chrysler in BC, you can drive home in one today!
 

The Ram 1500 Classic can be fitted with two engines. The first is the 3.6-litre V6 from Pentastar with Variable Valve Timing. Pushing out 305 hp and 269 lb-ft of torque, it uses a smooth-shifting 8-speed automatic transmission with your choice of a 4x2 or 4x4 drivetrain. Meanwhile, the 5.7-litre HEMI V8 option features the same fuel-saving technology and delivers 395 hp and 410 lb-ft of torque.
 

On the other hand, the GMC Sierra 1500 can be fitted with a much smaller 4.3-litre V6. Generating 285 hp and 30 lb-ft of torque, it comes with a 6-speed automatic transmission and your choice of RWD or 4WD. Next is the 5.3-litre V8 that makes 355 hp and 383 lb-ft of torque. If it is a RWD model, then it uses an 8-speed automatic. However, the 4WD version comes with a 10-speed.

When it comes to V8 performance, no one does it better than Ram. Known for high output and exceptional capabilities, the new 2021 1500 Classic outshines its competitors (including the 2021 Toyota Tundra).
 

First of all, the Ram 1500 Classic is available with two different motors, while the Toyota Tundra is only offered with one. This difference will be keenly felt at the work-site.
 

With the 5.7-litre HEMI V8 rumbling underneath the hood of the Ram, it generates 395 hp and 410 lb-ft of torque. Paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, it can manage a payload weighing up to 874 kg (1,927 lbs) without breaking a sweat. With the 4x2 drivetrain, it gets 16.3 L/100 km (17 mpg) combined. Meanwhile, the 4x4 version get 14 L/100 km (20 mpg) combined.
 

The new Tundra uses a 5.7-litre V8 engine as well. However, it only makes 381 hp and 401 lb-ft of torque. Coupled with a 6-speed automatic transmission, the bed can hold a maximum of 784 kg (1,730 lbs). That’s significantly less than the Ram. It also get 15.6 L/100 km (15 mpg) combined, which is much lower as well - forcing drivers to compromise on performance.
