Determining whether you need a full-size pickup truck or a heavy-duty truck isn’t a decision to be taken lightly. The all-new 2019 RAM 1500 is the truck giant’s most up-to-date full-size pickup, and the next largest in the truck line is the RAM 2500. The demands of your Orland Park jobsite will determine which of these pickups is the best choice for you. Start by comparing these performance specs, towing capabilities, and prices to make the right decision.

You’ll find two well-powered engine options for the 2019 RAM 1500, but when you need more horsepower and torque, look to the three aptly-classified heavy-duty options on the 2500. Both of these pickup trucks come with rear-wheel drive standard, but you can upgrade to 4WD. See how each engine compares in horsepower and torque to find out which one best suits your needs:

Every Mokena truck buyer has a budget, and at Bettenhausen CDJR’s financing department, we know how important this is. When you’re shopping for a truck to get the job done, it helps to know that the 2500 is only $1,250 more than the smaller 1500.
Need to haul the whole crew? The base trim of the 2019 RAM 1500 will seat 6 people comfortably in the tech-savvy redesigned interior, and comes with a 5-inch touchscreen display powered by Uconnect® 3. Being a true workhorse, the entry-level configuration of the 2500 is definitely more powerful but can only seat 3 in its cabin, and you’ll need to upgrade for the same tech features. Whichever truck you choose, you’ll have 6 speakers surrounding the cabin, USB ports for media and charging, and a 40/20/40 Split Bench Seat for maximizing your cargo options.
