The horrible gas mileage is because the ram makes a LOT more horsepower.  Pick your poison........Power or mileage

395 hp vs 355 hp? I wouldn't say a "lot" more horsepower... and that was for the standard 5.8 engine, not the optional 6.2 engine with 420 hp compared to RAM's Hemi 5.7 with only 395 hp (and worse gas mileage).

I consider 40 hp quite significant

Same here.  Especially since there are a lot of people on this website who proudly spend hundreds of $ (and broadcast their purchase) to gain maybe 15-20hp.

Hmmmm my 2018 Ram 395hp, my 2017 Silverado 355hp both 17mpg back and forth to work. I like them both, trans. shifts better in the Ram though. Both trucks are Quad cab style, 6ft beds, 3.21 gears in Ram 3.08 gears in Silverado.

The only thing keeping me from buying a Ram right now is the stupid 6'4" bed!!!!!  Who does that?  Can someone explain this to me?  6'6" in the chevy is barely enough bed!

I was all set to buy a Ram but before buying I changed jobs and the new place has a 2013 Ram as the shop truck and it has been nothing but problems and the dealer can't fix it. After two Jeeps that had issues I would never buy another FCA product.

Ram passing Chevy proves that more people either don't understand or don't care about reliability.

I have seen the commericals, so I know GMs last at least 90 days.

And here we go again. More than 6 months of third place now.

I had a coworker that just went to a new RAM because his last new Silverados (at least two in a row) gave him so much trouble.

I think GMs shity marketing has a lot to do with it. I don’t watch a GM and think boy I want to own one of those... bring back Hartbeat of America.

Maybe some features were taken away but the features that were added are much more desirable/useful than the ones removed

 

A few to list:

rear a/c vents

heads up display

360 camera

 

Two of the three above are what made me trade my 17 in for a 19

 

 

 

With all due respect-most find the 2019 front end hideous. The drop in sales is directly correlated to the redesign.

I think the Silverado front end is awesome looking and so do many others. The only hidious thing I see for '19 is the sim card looking fenders in the Sierra.

I love the new front end and so do many other people I know.  That's one of the reasons I switched after about 4 F150s.  I've had two Rams as well.  Never again.
