The 2021 RAM 1500 Classic and 2020 Nissan Titan both offer powerful base engines. These midsize pickups may look similar on the outside, but they are different in terms of capabilities and vital specifications like fuel efficiency. How do the two compare when it comes to gas use?2021 RAM 1500 Classic Fuel Economy
Highway: 9.6 L/100 km
City: 13.9 L/100 km

2020 Nissan Titan Fuel Economy
Highway: 11.1 L/100 km
City: 15.1 L/100 km
Combined: 13.0 L/100 km

The 2021 RAM 1500 Classic offers excellent efficiency for a midsize pickup. Its 3.6L Pentastar V6 can handle a variety of towing tasks and pull up to 3,007 kg when using the proper trailer configuration. Meanwhile, an eight-speed automatic transmission with an e-shifter provides torque as needed and controls RPMs on the highway to further limit fuel use.Â
All 2021 RAM 1500 Classic trims also offer the option to increase muscle. A 5.7L HEMI V8 with a Multi-Displacement System (MDS) for saving fuel increases horsepower to 395 and towing capacity to an impressive 4,813 kg.

If you buy a truck, you will likely seek out a vehicle with the capabilities to handle anything you throw at it. At the same time, you don’t want this muscle to come with excessively high fuel costs. How do two of Alberta’s most popular light-duty pickups, the 2021 RAM 1500 Classic SLT and GMC Sierra Elevation, compare when it comes to gas use?RAM 1500 Classic SLT
Engine: 3.6L Pentastar V6
Transmission: 8-speed automatic
City Economy: 13.9 L/100 km
Highway Economy: 9.6 L/100 km
GMC Sierra Elevation
Engine: 2.7L V6
Transmission: 8-speed automatic
City Economy: 13 L/100 km
Highway Economy: 11.4 L/100 km
Despite shaving off nearly two litres in fuel consumption for every 100 km compared to the Sierra Elevation, the Classic SLT does not sacrifice anything in terms of performance. With 305 horsepower and 269 lb-ft of torque, this truck can tow up to 2,240 kg.Â
The RAM 1500 Classic offers the option to upgrade to a 5.7L HEMI V8. This powertrain gives you 395 hp and 410 lb.-ft of torque and a combined highway/city fuel economy of 14 L/100 km.Â

Both the 2021 Ram 1500 Classic and the 2021 Honda Ridgeline are excellent when it comes to carrying passengers. However, if you compare the pulling and hauling capabilities, one of the pair stands out - making the shopping choice for Canadians consumers considerably easier. 2021 Ram 1500 Classic: Towing Abilities

2021 Honda Ridgeline: Towing Abilities
Engine: 3.5L SOHC V6

No matter how you measure, the 2021 Ram 1500 Classic is a more able hauler, leaving its Honda competitor in the dust with every standard metric (the truck also has an available 5.7 HEMI V8 engine, however, that's capable of towing up to 4,813 kg. This further propels it past the Ridgeline). Regardless of your powertrain choice, you get a four and seven-pin wiring harness, trailer sway control, and a locking tailgate..

The 2021 Ram 1500 Classic Crew Cab and the 2021 Honda Ridgeline are four-door pickups that can seat up to six adults; and, if you often have a full truck, those interior dimensions will be important to you.

The 2021 Ram 1500 Classic SLT vs. 2021 Ford F-150 XLT in Saint Paul, AB: Which Truck Has a More Powerful Engine?
Tags:
(Posted on Feb 11, 2021 at 04:17AM by Josh Lew)
Curious whether the 2021 Ram 1500 Classic SLT or Ford F-150 XLT delivers superior power to Alberta? Let's compare these two popular pick-ups, examining both torque and HP.2021 Ram 1500 Classic SLT
Standard Engine: 3.6L Pentastar V6Â
Horsepower/Torque: 305/269 lb.-ft
2021 Ford F-150 XLT
Standard Engine: 3.3L Ti-VCT V6Â
Horsepower/Torque: 290/265 lb.-ft
The Ram truck comes out ahead in this comparison. Though the Ford F-150 provides suitable power for everyday demands, it fails to generate the potent performance needed for payload domination. With a Shift-on-the-Fly 4x4, heavy-duty shocks, and a rear stabilizer bar, the 2021 1500 Classic SLT is ready for any task Alberta drivers want to give it.
