America loves pickup trucks, especially full-size pickups! In 2019, about 17 million new cars and trucks were sold in the US, and of those, many millions were half-tons.
Fuel economy is so-so, at 17 mpg city/21 highway/19 combined. But the Raptor-grade motor yields a 0-60 mph time of just over five seconds. Acceleration is sort of staggering for a truck that weighs in at almost 5,700 pounds and can tow 12,000 pounds. The short box could swallow up pretty much everything I threw at it. The spray-on bed liner is $500 extra.The Silverado could be outfitted with a 2.7-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, a 4.3-liter V6, a 5.3-liter V8, a 3.0-liter inline-six-cylinder diesel — or, in the case of my tester, a 6.2-liter V8.At full bore, the 6.2-liter V8 makes 420 horsepower with a whopping 460 pound-feet of torque. That's 65 more ponies than the 5.3-liter V8 mill.
Each of my two East Coast test trucks had short beds, and one of them had a nifty retractable tonneau cover.The mighty Hemi powerplant in our test truck featured a mild hybrid "eTorque" system coupled to the 5.7-liter V8, making a total of 395 horsepower with 410 pound-feet of torque. The 0-60 time is about six seconds. Fuel economy is OK: 17 mpg city/22 highway/19 combined.The 2019 RAM 1500 Laramie Longhorn Crew Cab 4x4 is a staggeringly good pickup.
Once you get into the Big Three's reaches, it's great to have the extra capacity, but jumps up in towing weights can send those folks scurrying for heavy-duty trucks. There is a difference between a horse trailer and, say, a small camper. There's a reason the F-150 has been America's bestselling vehicle for 43 straight years: If you want a half-ton pickup, you can simply choose an F-150 and never look back. The F-150, complete with the once radical innovations of added aluminum construction and the EcoBoost turbocharged V6 engine, also demonstrates that the Blue Oval is taking the risks necessary to keep its most important vehicle at the top of its game.
What a waste of my four minutes
