While trucks like the Ram 2500 and Ford F-250 provide plenty of power, the Ram 1500 and F-150 are the more popular models. This is because the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150 offer similar tech and safety features, strong towing and hauling capabilities, and a more affordable price point. To find out which model is the better buy, keep reading for more information.
One reason the Ram 1500 and F-150 are so popular is that they have strong engine options. Powering the base Ram 1500 is a 3.6-liter 305 horsepower V6 mild-hybrid system. Though two V8 engines and a diesel-powered V6 are also available.
Under the hood of the F-150, however, drivers will find a 3.3-liter 290 horsepower V6 powers the base model. Though there are five other powertrains. One is specific to the Raptor trim, and another is a hybrid powertrain that can output 430 hp.
The Ram 1500 offers many features in every single trim. Throughout its six trims, drivers can find automatic headlights, heated mirrors, trailer sway damping, an automated parking system, a surround-view camera system, and much more.
Though the Ford F-150 has eight trims and many great amenities, it doesn't offer the same robust list of features as the Ram 1500. Throughout the F-150 are features like wireless smartphone charging, evasive steering assist, an 18-speaker B&O stereo, LED bed lighting, and various other tech.
A comparison list wouldn't be complete without seeing the difference in the hauling and towing capacity of these two machines. When looking at the Ram 1500, we find that when properly equipped, the base model of this truck can haul upwards of 2,200 pounds and tow roughly 9,250 pounds.
Comparatively, the Ford F-150's base model can haul up to 1,800 pounds and tow 8,200 pounds.
These two trucks are perfect for any driver. However, the Ram 1500 has the edge over the Ford F-150. The Ram 1500 has a stronger base engine, better base towing and hauling, and more unique features. For more information about this model, head to Wally's Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram of Adams today.
