Whether you’ve been driving pickup trucks for years or are in the market for your first, you’ve likely heard of or have even explored a Ram. As two of the most durable and versatile pickups on the Clarkston, Lake Orion, Clio, and Lapeer, MI, roadways, it comes as no surprise that these pickups stand out from the competition.
Though, you could be wondering how a few Ram trucks compare to each other. Our team at Feldman Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram (CJDR) of Clarkston will explore that for two great options in this Ram 1500 vs. Ram 2500 comparison!

Powertrain & Performance
You’ll find muscular powertrains under the hood of both the Ram 1500 and 2500. The 1500 comes with a 3.6L V6. Meanwhile, the 2500 comes with a 6.4L V8 engine under the hood. As these differences in engines would suggest, the 2500 will be able to offer you more output in terms of both horsepower and torque.

While these two versatile vehicles do come with different engines, they feature the same transmission. Both incorporate 8-speed automatic transmissions into their powertrains which help them optimize engine and perform surprisingly efficiently for their size and class.
Towing & Hauling
If you are in the market for a new pickup, you’ll want to learn about the towing prowess of both options. When standardly equipped, the Ram 1500 will offer you 7,740 pounds of maximum towing capacity and 2,320 pounds of payload. Under the same conditions, the Ram 2500 equips you with 15,040 pounds of towing capacity and 4,010 pounds of payload.
While one may seem significantly larger, both prove able to haul a large load. Though, your driving habits could help make your decision. If you’re planning on towing commercially, the 2500 could be for you. On the other hand, you may find the towing abilities of the 1500 to suffice if you’re just looking to take the boat to the lake on the weekends.
Dimensions & Space
The same could be said for these trucks as far as dimensions and space go as well. If you’re in need of a pickup for personal use, you could need more cabin space. Meanwhile, more bed space could be beneficial if you’re on the job.
Taking a look at the cabins, the 1500 comes with a Quad Cab. This will allow you to comfortably sit six on the inside, perfect for a weekend trip with the family or friends. The 2500 only comes with a Regular Cab, so, your seating abilities will be capped at three passengers.
While the 1500 offers more interior space, it is the 2500 that offers more bed space. The 2500 boasts an 8-foot bed, while the 1500 features a 6.5-foot bed. So, if you plan on carrying larger equipment—like weed whackers, wheel barrels, and more—the 2500 could be the right choice.
Ram 1500 vs Ram 2500: Two Great Choices
After reviewing this Ram 1500 vs. Ram 2500 comparison, you should have a better idea as to which of these pickups is the better choice for you. Though, both are great options for Clarkston, Lake Orion, Clio, and Lapeer, Michigan, drivers.
