The 2021 Ram 2500 and 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 are two stalwarts in the heavy-duty truck market. These vehicles are known for towing and work-related functionality, but how do they compare when it comes to interior comfort and features?Â
2021 Ram 2500 Limited
Infotainment: 12-inch Uconnect touchscreen Storage: Under-seat and in-floor (standard) SiriusXM: One-year subscription Heated seats: Front and rear
In the Ram 2500 Limited, everything is a little bit better than in the Silverado. Its larger Uconnect media centre has a navigation feature, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, and a longer complimentary SiriusXM subscription than any other vehicle in its class. The 10-way adjustable front bucket seats are extremely comfortable, but this truck does not forget about the rear row. It provides passengers a heated leather bench and 1,021 mm of legroom.Â
The 2021 Honda Ridgeline and 2021 Ram 2500 are capable of towing and hauling cargo, equipment, and materials. Truck shoppers purchase pickups like these to take advantage of their beds. Which one of the pair brings better features and specifications to Calgary in this area?Â
2021 Ram 2500
Max Bed Length: 2,496.5 mm Max Payload: 1,819 kg (Regular Cab 4x2) Tailgate: Dampened with auto release
2021 Honda Ridgeline
Max Bed Length: 1,625 mm Max Payload: 694 kg Tailgate: Power locking
The 2500 is the obvious choice for those who need to handle heavy-duty hauling tasks. Its 50,000 PSI frame can support up to 1,819 kg, which is more than double the Ridgeline's max payload. The Ram's Laramie Longhorn trim comes with LED bed lighting, and the Limited has the same type of illumination and the RamBox Cargo Management System (optional on other 2021 models).Â

The 2021 Ram 2500 and 2021 Toyota Tundra bring different cab, bed, and engine options to Calgary. You can customise these trucks, but you cannot change their towing ability.
