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

Payload Capacity: 866 kg
Max Cargo Bed Length: 1930 mm
2021 Honda Ridgeline: Towing Abilities
Engine: 3.5L SOHC V6
Towing Capacity: 2267 kg
Payload Capacity: 694 kg

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..
