2022 RAM 2500 vs Chevy Silverado 2500HD Exterior Front Angles

When it comes to heavy-duty pickup trucks, the number of options dwindles quite a bit from the abundance of light-duty choices on the market here in America. Even still, there are plenty of great heavy-duty models to choose from, including our own RAM 2500 and its long-time rival the Chevy Silverado 2500HD. Both of these trucks are extensions of “the big three,” which represents the three most popular pickup trucks in the country - including the RAM 1500, Chevy Silverado 1500 and Ford F-150. These heavy duty counterparts ramp up the power and capability over their light-duty siblings, but how do they fare against one another?
