Two of the industry’s most luxurious and powerful full-size pickup trucks are the 2019 GMC Sierra 1500 and the 2019 Ram 1500. But which is the superior pickup truck? While each has its own high points, the winner is clearly the new GMC Sierra.
Engine Options
You can choose among four advanced powertrains for the 2019 GMC Sierra 1500: the 2.7-liter Turbo engine, the 5.3-liter V8 with Dynamic Fuel Management, the 6.2-liter V8 with Dynamic Fuel Management, and the 3.0-liter Duramax Turbo Diesel inline six-cylinder engine. The 2019 Ram 1500 only offers two: the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine or the 5.7-liter HEMI® V8 engine, available with or without eTorque.
Max Power
The 2019 Ram 1500’s most powerful engine is the available 5.7-liter HEMI V8, which generates 395 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque. This engine, though powerful, just can’t compete with the 2019 Sierra 1500’s top engine option — the 6.2-liter V8 with Dynamic Fuel Management, which pumps out 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque.
Tailgate
The 2019 GMC Sierra 1500 boasts the world’s first six-function MultiPro™ tailgate with six unique functions to optimize the process of loading and unloading cargo from the pickup bed.
Trim Diversity
The 2019 GMC Sierra 1500 offers more diversity in its lineup of trims. The new AT4 trim, for example, gives us a truly off-road-ready variant of the Sierra that the Ram 1500 just can’t match. Meanwhile, the GMC Sierra 1500 Denali trim, as always, maximizes luxury through advanced technologies, premium materials, and an abundance of comfort and convenience features.
More Interior Space
The new Sierra 1500 is more inviting to passengers, offering 43.11 inches of front head room, 44.53 inches of front leg room, 39.88 inches of rear head room, and 35.24 inches of rear leg room. On the other hand, the Ram 1500 only offers 40.9 inches of front head and leg room, alongside 39.2 inches of rear head room and 35.6 inches of rear leg room.
Safety
The 2019 GMC Sierra 1500 earned a 5-Star Overall Vehicle Score for Safety from NHTSA. The 2019 Ram 1500 only earned a 4-Star rating.
