Powertrains

Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Engines for Marion, OH Truck Shoppers to Select

• 2.7-liter Turbo High-Output inline-4 engine: 310 horsepower, 430 pound-feet of torque
• 5.3-liter EcoTec3 V8 engine: 355 horsepower, 383 pound-feet of torque
• 6.2-liter EcoTec3 V8 engine: 420 horsepower, 460 pound-feet of torque
• Duramax® 3.0-liter inline-6 Turbo-Diesel engine: 305 horsepower, 495 pound-feet of torque

The Toyota Tundra, packing between 389 and 437 horsepower under the hood, fails to offer a turbodiesel powertrain or a V8 engine. The Ram 1500’s EcoDiesel V6 engine produces 45 fewer ponies and delivers 15 less pound-feet of torque than the Chevrolet Silverado 1500’s comparable powertrain. A V6 engine in the Ram 1500 produces less standard horsepower (305 ponies) than the Chevy Silverado 1500 at 310 standard horsepower. Chevrolet’s full-size truck produces higher horsepower outputs than the Ram 1500 with a comparable V8 engine.

The Ford F-150 only outputs 290 standard horsepower, and its V8 powertrain maxes out at 400 horsepower. Both performance figures are lower than the Chevy Silverado 1500, which gives Marion, OH drivers a power boost.

Cab Configurations & Truck Beds

Both the Toyota Tundra (Double Cab/CrewMax) and Ram 1500 (Crew Cab/Quad Cab) only give truck buyers two cab configurations, while the Ford F-150 (Regular Cab/Super Cab/SuperCrew Cab) and Chevrolet Silverado 1500 (Regular Cab/Double Cab/Crew Cab) give Marion, OH motorists a third option. Chevrolet’s pickup can come with one of three truck bed sizes spanning up to 90 inches in length. Ram’s pickup has a shorter truck bed only reaching 76 inches.

Utility

With best-in-class standard cargo bed volume of 89 cubic feet, the Chevy Silverado 1500 gives Marion, OH drivers more room for whatever payload they’re carrying. The Ford F-150 counters with 74 cubic feet of cargo bed volume, and the Toyota Tundra provides 65 cubic feet.
