The 2021 Ram 2500 Big Horn and the 2021 Toyota Tundra SR5 both offer standard gas-powered V8 engines. Though these motors are capable, some drivers may need a different option if they want more torque or better efficiency. Only one of these trucks stands out when it comes to additional engine choices.Â

Both of the 2500 Big Horn's engines can outperform the Tundra's V8. The RAM's HEMI brings a lot of power, but it also has fuel-saving features - such as the Multi-Displacement System (MDS), which optimises energy output when cruising.
On the other hand, if you are purchasing your truck for pulling a trailer, Big Horn's diesel option is the obvious choice. It delivers 850 lb-ft of torque, which lets you tow up to 9,072 kg. Features, such as the upgraded filtration system, also limit the maintenance requirements and repair needs of this RAM motor - providing a more effective highway experience.

The 2021 RAM 2500 Power Wagon and the 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Custom are designed to perform on any surface. These two pick-ups can bring plenty of muscle to the pavement, dirt roads, or job sites. However, one of this pair is able to provide more HP and torque when you need it. Here is how the 2021 RAM 2500 and Chevrolet Silverado 1500 compare under the hood.Â
Â
2021 RAM 2500 Power Wagon
Engine: 6.4L HEMI V8
Horsepower: 410
Torque: 429 lb-ft

Â
2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Custom
Engine: 4.3L V6
Horsepower: 285
Torque: 305 lb-ft
Transmission: 6-Speed Automatic

Â
The 2021 RAM 2500 is obviously the more powerful choice. It can overcome any conditions, and it will handle any load that you need to pull. The 6.4L HEMI VVT V8 engine with a Multi-Displacement System (MDS) can produce enough muscle for a trailer weighing 7,956 kg (when properly equipped). The 4- and 7-pin wiring harness makes hooking up a breeze.Â
Furthermore, a front WARN Electric Winch comes standard on this trim. It can move items weighing up to 5,442kg, adding to the Power Wagon's overall versatility and capability.Â
