Chevrolet trucks edging out the competition!!

        There is some exciting news for Chevrolet and it newly redesigned 2014 Pickups, Consumers reports has completed its annual road test and the results are in....The new Chevrolet Silverado Edged out the Dodge Ram. The moral I got from this story if you want  a sport utility vehicle to haul the family and get groceries, Then the Ram is the truck for you. If you are looking for a truck that will haul the family and all their toys, and still hold its own on the job site with the big trucks you want A Chevrolet ....but I'll let you decide here is the consumer report article:

    In a heavy-metal duel of two top pickups, the Chevrolet Silverado’s excellent road-test score of 81 makes it the top-rated truck. But as one of our testers put it, “The second-place Ram 1500 is the better ‘car.’ ” Huh?

This showdown between the redesigned 2014 Silverado and the updated 2013 Ram was neck-and-neck throughout. Each model won skirmishes along the way. And in the end, they finished one-two in the category, separated by only 3 points.

The Silverado edged the Ram in several areas important to many pickup owners. When typically configured, it has a significantly larger bed and more payload capacity, and it can tow more weight. The Silverado also has a lower step-in height than the Ram, aiding access. It handles a bit better in everyday driving (though no big pickup is particularly agile). And it delivers best-in-class fuel economy of 16 mpg overall, which is 1 mpg better than the Ram. That could save you about 50 gallons of gas per year.

But if you use your truck more for day-to-day driving, the Ram is a nicer place to spend your time. It rides better and has more comfortable seats, a nicer rear seat, and a slightly friendlier control layout. It’s also quicker than the Silverado, and it feels much brawnier in real-world driving. The Ram also brings its own impressive workhorse credentials.

The reality is that you can’t go wrong with either truck. In the versions we tested—four-door crew cabs with V8 engines and four-wheel drive—both get decent gas mileage and are as quiet inside as a good luxury car.

The best-selling Ford F-150 is headed for its own redesign for 2015. So stay tuned; another battle is brewing.
