2012 Chevrolet Avalanche vs Dodge Ram 1500

At Art Gamblin, your Puget Sound Chevrolet dealer, Motors we recognize that the Chevy Avalanche is a segment defining vehicle that is unsurpassed in its utility, versatility and performance in its segment. To be frank, the Ram 1500 just plain can’t compete with the Avalanche in any scenario. The Avalanche has greater power, performance, handling, safety and functionality. Below is a short sampling of some of the ways, in which the Chevrolet Avalanche makes the Ram 1500 look like an antique:

Safety: For increased safety, the front shoulder belts of the Chevrolet Avalanche are height-adjustable, and the rear seats have child car seat anchors. The Ram 1500 has only front height-adjustable seat belts and child safety anchors. At Chevrolet we recognize how the safety features play such a large role in your choice of vehicle. The Avalanche’s standard pretensioning seatbelts sense rear collisions and tighten the front seatbelts accordingly to protect passengers from injuries including whiplash. The 1500 doesn’t offer a whiplash protection system.

The Avalanche also has standard daytime running lamps that increase its visibility to other drivers. The Ram 1500 doesn’t have daytime running lights. The Avalanche also has OnStaravailable, which uses GPS and cellular systems to remotely unlock your doors if you lock your keys in, track down your vehicle if it’s stolen and even send emergency personnel to the scene if there is a collision. The Ram 1500 doesn’t offer anything comparable to OnStar. And these are just a few of the ways in which the Avalanche is superior to the Ram in safety.

Warranty: There are over 40 percent more Chevrolet dealers than there are Ram dealers—making it much easier to get service under the Avalanche’s Chevrolet warranty.

Power and Performance: The Avalanche’s Vortec 5.3L V8 engine produces 105 more horsepower Ram 1500’s standard 3.7L V6! With a minimum tow capacity that is 1,550 pounds higher than the Ram’s, it hails in comparison to the Avalanche! The Avalanche’s Vortec engine is also equipped with FlexFuel which allows it to run on emissions reducing E85 fuel. Active Fuel Management is also standard. Both the sequential fuel injection system and the Active fuel management system allow the Avalanche to achieve excellent fuel economy and efficiency. The Ram 1500 offers nothing comparable to these features. Moreover, the Avalanche has 5.5 more gallons of fuel capacity than the standard Ram 1500. This allows the Avalanche a greater maximum driving range than the 1500.

The Avalanche has an automatic transmission that offers manual control with tap-up tap-down shifting. This means that drivers get the convenience of an automatic transmission, while also have the control of a manual transmission without worrying about a clutch—giving you the best of both worlds and strengthening your driving experience! The Ram fails to offer a transmission that allows driver control of the gears. Ultimately, the Avalanche simply offers more power, performance, efficiency and utility standard than the Ram 1500.

Suspension and Handling: The front and rear suspension of the Avalanche use coil springs for a smoother ride, more responsive handling and precise control than the 1500, which uses inferior leaf springs in the rear. The Avalanche also has an available driver controlled suspension system. The 1500’s suspension doesn’t offer any kind of driver adjustable shock absorbers. For superior handling the track on the Avalanche is wider than the 1500’s. The Avalanche’s engine vibration is almost nonexistent in the cab because it has liquid-filled engine mounts. The 1500 still uses inferior conventional solid rubber engine mounts. The Avalanche offers car-like ride and handling, while the Ram has unresponsive control and an all around rough ride.

At Art Gamblin Motors, we know that the Chevy Avalanche simply dominates over the Ram 1500. So we invite you to come test drive a new Chevrolet Avalanche with us here in Enumclaw Washington and experience the Avalanche’s high level of power and performance for yourself. You will surely appreciate our welcoming pressure-free environment staffed by friendly expert sales associates. Most importantly though, we have been family owned and operated for over 40 years, which is why we have always treated all our customers as family.
