Here's where Silverado HD can't be beat

Silverado HD has tech and capability that Ram HD just can't match.

Capability beyond compare

Silverado HD has engines that generate more standard torque and more available maximum horsepower than you’ll find on Ram HD, providing power on demand and the capability to get big jobs done every day.

A better cargo bed

The versatile Durabed that’s standard on every Silverado HD features 12 standard tie-downs rated at 500 lbs.* per corner, four more than you’ll find on Ram HD. Combine that with the available Multi-Flex Tailgate that offers six different functions to help improve loading, unloading and accessing the cargo bed, and you have a bed that’s hard to beat.
