If you’re looking for a new pickup truck in the Giddings area that’s equal parts rugged, capable, and luxurious, look no further than a RAM truck! RAM has a long history of making dependable pickup trucks that are more than capable of meeting any challenge they’re faced with, whether it’s the demands of a daily worksite commute or an off-road weekend adventure. The type of truck you pick out depends on your unique driving needs, and only you can decide which one best suits your circumstances. On one side, there’s the iconic light-duty RAM 1500, which comes with more engine choices and a higher level of performance on the road. On the other, there’s the heavy-duty RAM 2500, which comes at a higher price point but also boasts more torque and a towing capacity of nearly double its light-duty counterpart. The team at Oviedo Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram FIAT has everything you need to know to compare RAM trucks in the guide below, so you can have as much information as possible when deciding between the 2022 RAM 1500 or 2500.
Price is often one of the most important factors that drivers consider when picking out a new pickup truck. Despite significant differences in capability, the RAM 1500 and 2500 are actually offered at relatively similar starting prices, although the light-duty RAM 1500 is about $2,000 cheaper. Here are the details:
In terms of features, the RAM 1500 and 2500 have a lot of overlap. Both can comfortably seat up to six passengers across two rows, although only the RAM 1500 offers the six-passenger configuration on the entry-level trim. Both trucks also feature amenities like a premium 6-speaker audio system and parking assist inside the cabin, designed to make your rides around Smithville as smooth and safe as possible. However, the RAM 1500 also offers standard Bluetooth connectivity and available RamBox Cargo Management System, which the RAM 2500 lacks.
The biggest difference between the 2022 RAM 1500 and 2500 in terms of capability is their towing and payload capacities. As a heavy-duty truck, the RAM 2500 offers nearly double the towing and payload power compared to its light-duty counterpart. Here are the numbers for both trucks:

The 2022 RAM 1500 offers four engines, although the 5.7L V8 also comes with the choice of eTorque, making for a total of five options to choose from.
