Yup, compare the Chevy's interior to the Ram Limited's, and it's no question which is the nicer place to be.  They're not even in the same league.
yea...say what you will about RAMs, etc, but their interiors are by far the best...one article i read recently said the new RAM (they compared top trims of each brand) was closer to an S-Class inside than the E-Class is.

Kind of a weird statement since the E-class is newer than the S-class and has been praised for being just as good.
i haven't seen them, but perhaps they were referencing the outgoing E-class?...either way, their point was the RAM interiors (especially in upper trims) are serious luxury.
When you've lost the argument, admit defeat and hit the smite button.

Lol anyone paying $75k for this truck is nuts — that interior looks cheap as hell and should not be in a $75k truck...no wonder GM started the year 7% down compared to 2018 already.

I don’t know how discounts are in Canada right now, but the last article I read shared that GM had already put $10k on the hood to help increase sales...

What a contrast my gosh!!!

I think GM hired the same company that did the research on the ‘most’ reliable vehicles to check if owners were happy with the interior of their trucks....since they insist the ‘results’ pointed out that customers were ‘happy’.

Chevy interior is as average as the Rams top powertrain offerings that haven't changed since 2009..........

I wonder does GM heated seats still have the feature that you can turn off the seat elements and only heat the back of the seat ?

Looks like you just do lower back, or both bottom & lower back.

Ram's powertrain has changed about as much as Chevy's. 

And nobody has ever complained about the HEMI.

^the ones in Bella's 323i are pretty darn good, they give off heat instantly!!! Not sure if it's the pleather seats, or what, but they get hot fast. The ones in the JGC are quite slow to warm up.

Best heated seats I've ever experienced....far better than our current vehicles.

Have you had any rips/tears in the leatherette yet?  I had the seat replaced under warranty as the side bolster ripped pretty good after 4 years. Was surprised it was covered, but there you go.

No rips/tears in the leatherette yet at all. Previous owners must've conditioned them over the years as they're in prefect shape still. She's the 3rd owner.

In my experience cloth/leatherette/artificial suede heats up a lot quicker than leather.

I find with the  ability to eat just the back is great especially if you're wearing a coat this prevents your ass from getting too hot

And nobody has ever complained about the HEMI.
yea, the 5.7L Hemi V8, while not class leading, is still a decent engine...factor in the new e-torque option with improved ASS and starting torque functionality, it's still a solid choice.
