Man created trucks so we could get stuff done-and not just any kind of stuff but real, heavy, break-a-sweat, make-a-man-feel-more-manly-type stuff. That's why at Freehold Dodge, we think picking the right truck for the job is as important as wearing the proper shoes.
 So kick off those sneakers and lace up your steel-toed boots because we're about to get to work on this 2015 Ram 2500 vs. GMC Sierra 2500 truck comparison to figure out which one really pulls its own weight.
Design
Thanks to a well-made body and redefined cabin, the new 2015 Ram 2500 offers a quiet and comfortable ride. The available upgraded interior with two-tone upholstery, detailed stitching throughout, and soft-touch instrument panels helps elevate the driving experience.
The GMC Sierra 2500 offers comparable interior trim options and a relatively quiet driving experience, but hauling the crew is probably going to be easier with the Ram 2500 Mega Cab. That's because of its roomy rear seat, which provides more hip room, legroom, and shoulder room than you'd find in the GMC Sierra 2500.
  
Performance
We know that when talking about work trucks, what drivers in Freehold, Farmingdale, and Monroe Township are really interested in is power. For the 2015 Ram 2500, towing and hauling is serious business. You'll get up to 800 lb-ft of torque from its 6.7-liter Cummins Turbo Diesel I6 engine when paired with a 68RFE six-speed automatic transmission. The combination unlocks a maximum towing capacity of 17,970 lbs and a max payload of 3,170 lbs.
Now the GMC Sierra 2500 isn't exactly a lightweight either. With its own DURAMAX Diesel 6.6-liter V8 Turbo engine reaching 765 lb-ft of torque, its power comes close to the Ram 2500.
For towing and hauling, the GMC Sierra 2500 brings 17,900 lbs of maximum fifth-wheel trailering capacity and 3,560 lbs of maximum payload. So while the Ram 2500 gives us more towing capacity, the GMC Sierra 2500 bumps up the max payload by 390 lbs.
Technology
Now let's talk technology. Getting the job done is great and all, but you know it involves a lot more than just lifting and pulling. Answering emails, making calls, and getting directions to the jobsite are all vital to your daily workflow, which is why integrated technology is such a huge deal.
The 2015 Ram 2500 features an available Uconnect Access infotainment system with a large 8.4-inch touchscreen display. This advanced system supports hands-free calling and SiriusXM Satellite Radio, and it can even turn into a Wi-Fi hotspot for improved connectivity.
Â
The GMC Sierra 2500, on the other hand, has a slightly smaller 8-inch IntelliLink touch screen. Although it can also function as a Wi-Fi hotspot, the interface can be sluggish at times and slow to respond, making it kind of frustrating.
