New Ram Rebel vs Chevy Silverado Trail Boss: Which Full-size Off-road Truck Is Best For You?

okay so let's look at the ram platform, these

truck

s have about the same payload capacity so the payload is kind of a launch what are you trying to do? There is no step, there is an optional one that goes down from the bottom, yes, there is a little thing that you can kick like it's going to start a motorcycle, but this one doesn't have it, no, so yes, it's a shame, okay, that's right. better, there's no button, but the actual handle, well, it's still a button, it's just a button inside, like a cubicle, oh really, but it's still wet, yeah, let's measure the length because you'd think it would be identical, right , right, whoa ooh, about 67, dude, so about three. inches, uh, longer on the Chevrolet, that's a pretty big difference, yeah, and the Chevy's bed is a little wider too, so what's up with the tie downs?

Well, this

truck

only has, I think, four, so this one has one on each corner. towards the bulkhead here we have leaves falling, I know, okay and we have two more in the back now, I think there are more optional tie-downs, although right there you can also get a rail system, oh you know how the gladiator has . that utility rail, yeah, so you can ride it and it's only $400 or $300 or something that's cool, yeah, I noticed this too. You've got cutouts here on the uh, not as usable as the Silverado platform for hauling you around. You know wood and stuff, but you have some cutouts in the fender wells, yes for wood and in fact between the fender wells there is about a half inch more on the ram than on the

chevy

, about 50 and a half here and 50 in the

chevy

so we have to decide who wins the beds competition so i think if you re haul like grain and sand chevy takes it every day because there is more volume just grain and sand no no what is that ?

I would also say fun things like motorcycles, I think the chevrolet is a little bit better, it's a little bit better and I know you love Alex, you know the tfl bike channel because he's a presenter there so that's important for motorcycles. The editor-in-chief reminds you of, yes, the editor-in-chief, so the escape is a pretty interesting setup here. Yes, can I start? Yes, actually, I'll start it. I want your honest opinion, of course, there's an Oops delivery truck, okay, that's good, you know, that's the thing with the hemi engine, it always sounds good, okay, yeah, that's good, next one you want try the chevy, yeah, oh you know what every time.

Trail

boss

starts uh it surprises me every time this truck surprises me in a good way, in a good way, I think it's got a good grunt, it doesn't let you rev ​​the engine sitting there, um, I think it's some kind of confusion, friend. I don't know, I think I personally think the

rebel

sounds better, especially with the mopar exhaust, oh yeah, it's pretty ridiculous, oh yeah, I'd give it to the

rebel

. I think five seven sounds a little better than the original five three. stock at least yes, but why don't we jump in? We'll start with the ram, get your opinion on the interiors and that's it, we'll start talking about some of the features and we're almost done after the interior. we have to decide, okay, go ahead, okay, before we get to the technology side, let's make this space in the back, these have identical door lengths, they're about 42 inches on both trucks, huge doors, huge space, just look at this ram, I mean, there's me.

I don't know, there's like three feet of legroom here, it's ridiculous, the seats, of course, fold down, it's very easy to operate, Tommy, look at this, it's like a limo, I mean, I can go to the countryside like that. naughty, yeah, it's brilliant, it's really good, okay? You also have heated seats back there. You see yes, for 55 thousand dollars, real quick, so check it out, come here, so I have heated seats, USB, USB and a regular 400 watt outlet, so air all that out. What do you have? in a chevy well then the chevy is also a very big back seat I don't think the door opens that far I mean it was basically 90 degrees yeah yeah I think the chevy doesn't go that far but still huge rear seats uh I have vents back here so I have some vents um my little 12 volt outlet there's usbc usb a little less power in the back of the chevy compared to uh okay the ram but I still want Say I'm six years old. foot one

full

y extended leg there's tons of room let's take a look at the storage under the seat ooh actually look at this perfect for your nerf gun andre rem doesn't have that no or your uh your little water gun there but the cushions of the seat fold into these storage containers fixed on the ram, you can configure the storage container.

This is a fixed setup, but if you have dog gear that needs to be protected from the elements, you can still carry plenty of stuff in the back. the chevy guy, can you get in the passenger seat here? I want to show you the ram. Okay, Tommy, I think this is the end of the story because you have the 12-inch infotainment system for 50, just over 55 grand. Wow, first of all, Ram. I think they've gotten a lot better, you know, with this generation of interiors, this truck offers a level two group and also the Rebel 12 group, the level two gives you a lot of luxury features like heated seats, what's going on?

Why are you doing this right? heated seats hitting the steering wheel, all that stuff, then Rebel 12 gives you this cool, giant infotainment screen, you know everything, but also 19 speakers, wow, what the heck, 19 speakers, that's crazy, like that that the weird mobile 12, the 12 inch screen is going to be something you love or hate, I think it's really cool, you know you have phone connectivity, you have all the controls here, heated seats, look, the steering wheel has a camera Built-in backup, some people like it, some don't. It's nice because everything is pretty much digital, you have some tight controls for fan speed, dual zone temperature, you still have a tuning knob and a volume knob

which

is nice but let us know in the comments section below what do you think. from rule 12 ram, it's great to know that price wise we're looking at a few hundred dollar difference as far as msrp and you get this 12 on this truck, yes on this you get this, you have slide out consoles, this and this wireless charging wireless charging here two usb two usb cs yeah and then talk about the four wheel drive system because they're a little bit different yeah and this kind of rotary dial so it's a perfect personal preference that you like more because of the transmission I have hill descent control, uh, right here, low four axle lock, everything is good here, very close, and you know, after owning this truck for a year last year, I I got used to this a lot, it's cool, I also make glove boxes, double glove boxes, that sounds funny.

Yes, you have the doubles and there is no sunroof on this one. No, you can have a sunroof, but not on this one. Yeah, and the gauges also have a very large center display that can be set up on the steering wheel so you can scroll through the uh. the screen there in the middle but very digital inside this ram, very good, I think it's really premium, it feels good, yeah, okay, let's jump to the chevy, let's take a look at the chevy, okay, welcome to the decade from 1990, what not, that's a little hard um well, it's not that hard the interior of the chevy is very analog is a good way to put it, so it's still a start button, but I have buttons, dials, knobs to everything and then a much smaller eight-inch screen here.

I have to admit, though, I've actually been very hard on this interior in the past, but after owning this truck for eight and nine months, it just works, it's not particularly fancy or all that nice, but it has buttons and dials. . and you can adjust the fan speed easily and quickly and you don't have to think about finding the area to adjust where the weather is of course it's the gm so it will beep at you you know it always beeps. a lot, so in this one you can see that the center screen functionality is not as fast, so the graphics are not as impressive.

If we're honest, this one doesn't have built-in navigation either, you have to use your phone. the camera button is very fast just swipe yeah it's on the top so the camera I think the resolution of the camera view is a little bit better on the RAM yeah it's kind of a potato , this is brilliant though look at this ready you have a real column shift oh I love that it's shiny it really is nice and actually if you get past the Fisher-Price plastics you see a lot of features so this one has Heated seats and it still has a heated steering wheel and it still has dual zone auto. weather uh this one also has sirius Shaft lock here?

It's, it's, it's an automatic lock, yeah, yeah, so I've got automatic functions for high, low, too high, it's got something called the g80 rear diff lock, so it's a proper locker. I will fight against those who tell me it is not. a proper locker, I mean, I lose its logs on its own, squirrel and gerbil here, but yeah, it locks itself when a wheel spins. This area, as Alex's video pointed out, is very useful, so there are large amounts of storage that we don't have. a wireless charging in this truck uh cargo tray in this truck here, but like tons of places and cubbies for things, the glove boxes are probably bigger, dual and even dual, yeah, and then the screen in the cluster is a lot smaller , but I like the physical indicators for you.

You know, oil pressure, I like the physical gauges for water temperature, it's really nice to always have them there, you don't have to like the menu and both trucks have

trail

er brake controllers for towing it and you. I've got the power, a couple of outlets here, yeah, so there's my 110, I've got a 12 volt one and then I even have a USB USB in the center, but it's good, it's not as crazy as I make it. Doesn't sound good let's jump in and decide

which

one you would choose buddy so this is a tough choice I think for 55 grand they both have their merits pros and cons what would you choose between these two?

Well, we. We've had a unique experience because we've owned both of these trucks for a long time, so this big truck is Alex's truck, it's new, it's got 100 miles on it, but we had a red one for a year, yeah, same as 55 too. ish grand, yeah, um, and we've had this for almost a year, the Silverado, yeah, I hate, I hate to say it because I like technology a lot, but I like the Chevy better, you know, it's very simple, it's not particularly flashy nor elegant. It has two more speeds in the transmission, yes 10 speed versus 8 speed, but yes, the interior is old school, but it just works, it's quite comfortable on the

road

, it's good off

road

, it tows very well, I just like it more.

It feels more like a truck than the ram, what about you? Hmm, a very difficult choice with one small caveat. I wish the rebel had better fuel efficiency. Yes, just a small nick in the armor, but I'll go ram the rebel. Yes, I understand. great truck, drives great, little bigger tire, has V8, big hemi power, loaded with tech so gotta go

full

speed, well let us know what you think in the comments section below Then this will probably turn into a shouting match down there. So let's be civil and go back to tfltruck.com and tflaffro.com, where we have truck videos and off-road videos.

Yeah sure, let us know what you think.
