Accidents can happen, whatever the driving environment. That’s why discerning truck owners expect the best in safety ratings and technology. Offering a myriad of advanced driver assist features, the 2021 RAM 1500 is ready for anything. Its competitor, the 2021 Chevrolet Silverado, doesn’t provide the same performance or economical options.The RAM’s Advanced Safety Group package is available for the two base models and standard on all higher trims (Laramie, Rebel, Limited Longhorn, Longhorn, and Limited). This comprehensive suite of security features includes Blind-Spot Monitoring, Park-Sense, Rear-Cross-Path Alert, Trailer Detection, and more.
Chevy Silverado drivers who expect this technology should prepare to cough up some cash, as all of these systems require investment in costly safety packages, which are only available on the top few trim levels.
The sticklers at the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety named the RAM 1500 a Top Pick thanks to its top ratings in every test category, including a 'superior' distinction for vehicle-to-vehicle crash prevention. The Silverado, however, did not fair as well, receiving multiple ‘marginal’ results from the IIHS.
