2021 Ram 1500 Interior
2021 GMC Sierra Interior
Interior & Exterior Design
At a glance, there's a lot to like about these two pickups on both the inside and outside. For starters, their muscular builds boast similar measurables, they both include a variety of available cab options, and their roomy interiors and user-friendly infotainment suites have been the subject of much praise in reviewers' circles. That said, it's choices that separate the 2021 Ram 1500 from the GMC Sierra. Indeed, not only does the Ram pickup's lineup boast a variety of wheel and seating options, but its interior also offers several practical cab-dependent storage arrangements, while its exterior can be personalized with your choice of a dozen exclusive body colours.
Performance
Once again, the pair of pickups find themselves neck-and-neck in yet another department. Both the Ram 1500 and GMC Sierra offer various powertrains - each packing an impressive wallop - and available four-wheel drive across their respective lineups. But while the Sierra's power and towing capability are among the best in its category, its handling, bouncy ride, and lack of efficiency have drawn some flack. The Ram 1500, on the other hand, has been lauded for its cushy drive and formidable towing capacity, the latter amounting to 12,750 pounds when powered by the popular 5.7-litre HEMI V8 engine. And as with its design, the 1500's extensive lineup of trims, cabs, engines, drivetrains, and flatbeds make for countless variations sure to include something for everyone.
Safety
This is where the 2021 Ram 1500 really sets itself apart from its GMC rival. Several crash test ratings have noted the Sierra's rather poor front passenger protection, while the popular automatic emergency braking function is absent from most of its lineup - even from some of its top trims. As for the new Ram pickup, drivers can hit the road with a clear head thanks to its standard Electronic Stability Control system, one including Ready Alert braking, Traction Control, and Trailer Sway Control that helps get your haul to its destination safe and sound. The latest 1500 also comes with an available surround-view camera that will win the hearts of frequent towers and make easy work of parking in tighter spots.
Why the Ram 1500 is the Better Off-Roading Truck
Simply put, the Ram 1500 bests the GMC Sierra in the off-roading department on the strength of its TRX trim. While the Sierra packs plenty of brawn for the occasional adventure off the beaten path, the Ram 1500's highest trim was tailor-made to provide a riveting off-road experience with regularity. For starters, its 6.2-litre Supercharged HEMI V8 engine packs an awe-inspiring 702 horses and 650 lb-ft of torque. This responsive hardware propels the Ram 1500 TRX to 100 km/h in under five seconds and works in tandem with a standard 4x4 drive system. Ram hasn't only seen to what lies under its top off-roader's hood, but also the hood itself, one designed with Functional Air Scoop and Heat Extractors that keep your engine cool and running smoothly. Between its infrastructure and 35-inch Goodyear Wrangler Territory all-terrain tires, the TRX is your ideal choice for mudding, rock-crawling, and everything in between.
