I picked up a 2024 Silverado 1500 ZR2 with the 3.0 DMax engine on Saturday. I had a 2019 RAM Limited Mega Cab with the 6.7 HO Cummins with about 10,000 miles that had been a great truck but I do not need a one ton truck for what I used the truck for. I figured that the lockers, 10 speed and 3.0 Dmax engine would suit my needs better. With the value of the RAM I ended up getting some money back on the trade in so that was an added bonus.
Here are some observations.
1. The RAM by far has the better interior as far as leather and wood custom touches. I realize that the ZR2 is more of an outdoor type truck and the RAM is a luxury hauler.
2. Cameras are better on the ZR2 as far as clarity and the ease in which you can access them.
3. Rear seat room is comparable which surprised me. The center tunnel is lower on the ZR2 by quite a bit.
4. The electronic tech is better on the ZR2. The Ram is a 2019 so that is probably understandable. The HUD on the ZR2 is a nice addition.
5. Just driving around I do not notice any less HP or Torque between the two trucks. I think the 3.0 and 10 speed are a perfect match.
6. The ride quality on the ZR2 is better but not as much as I had expected.
7. It is nice to have a smaller truck in my day to day as the ZR2 has a much smaller turning radius the RAM Mega Cab. The RAM is a BIG truck.
8. Overall I am glad that I made the switch. I love both trucks but decided on the Chevy as I have always been a Chevy guy at heart.
