The  2021 Ram 3500 Laramie and 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 LT are imposing trucks that turn heads on the road because of their size. However, the exteriors of these heavy-duty vehicles are not created equal. Which one stands out?Â

The 2021 Ram 3500 Tradesman and 2020 Ford F350 XL are heavy-duty trucks. These vehicles can handle large trailers and weighty payloads, but they can be challenging to steer in tight spaces. Which of the two pickups is easier to control?Â
Â
2021Â Ram 3500 Tradesman
Wheels: 18-inch steel Turning Radius: 6.9 M Overall Length: 589 cm
2020 Ford F350 XL
Wheels: 17-inch steel Turning Radius: 7.5 M Overall Length: 589 cm
The Ram 3500 stands out in the comparison. Even with larger wheels and an equivalent overall length, it has a much tighter turning radius than the Ford. This can prove invaluable when you have to manoeuvre through a work site. A backup camera also comes standard on the Tradesman. It features gridlines, so you can see where you are steering while moving in reverse.

The 2021 Ram 3500 Laramie and GMC Sierra Denali HD are heavy-duty trucks that can handle most hauling tasks with ease. If you often carry a full payload in the pickup bed, the maximum capacity will be a very important figure. How do these two vehicles compare in this area?Â
Â
2021 Ram 3500 Laramie
Max Payload: 3,484 kg Engine: 6.4L HEMI V8
2021 GMC Sierra Denali HD
Max Payload: 2891 kg Engine: 6.6L Duramax V8
The 2021 Ram 3500 Laramie comes out ahead in this comparison by a significant margin. Its 50,000 PSI steel frame can accommodate more weight than the Denali HD. At the same time, its Variable Valve Timing (VVT) and Multi-Displacement System (MDS) help it get more power out of its 6.4L V8 than the GMC coaxes from its 6.6L unit.Â
