Ram 1500 vs Ford F-150

Which One Delivers Better Performance?

---

When it comes to choosing the perfect vehicle for your driving needs, it’s always helpful to have an abundance of options. That’s why we’re happy to report that the Ram 1500 offers several available engines from which you can choose, so you can pick the one that meets your needs best. Under the hood of the Ram 1500 base model is a 3.6-liter Pentastar^® V6 engine that’s mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. This standard powertrain provides an impressive output of 305 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque.

While the standard engine delivers a mighty force, you can choose a more powerful option if that fits your priorities better. The Ram 1500 offers the available Supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI^® V6, which cranks out a monstrous 702 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque.

As for the Ford F-150, you’ll also have several powertrains from which you can choose. However, the Ram 1500 delivers a much better output from its available engines overall. The max output you’ll receive with the Ford F-150 is when it’s equipped with the optional 3.5-liter PowerBoost^® full hybrid V6 engine, which is only able to deliver 430 horsepower and 570 lb-ft of torque.

Which One Has More Technology Features?

We know modern drivers need to be connected to the latest technology features. In the Ram 1500, you can opt for the available Uconnect^® 5 NAV with 12-inch touchscreen. Such a large screen makes it possible to make the most of various features while simultaneously devoting the necessary attention to the drive itself.

The navigation aspect of this feature enables you to successfully find your way no matter where you might be headed. In addition to navigation, you’ll be able to gain access to connectivity and entertainment features, such as Apple CarPlay^® and Android Auto™. These make it possible to enjoy various apps from your smartphone without having to look away from the road.

If listening to your favorite driving soundtrack is an important part of your travels, you can choose to add the available 900-watt Harman Kardon^® Premium Audio System to your Ram 1500. Enjoy a concert-like experience thanks to 19 full-bodied speakers that will effectively fill the cabin with a veritable wall of sound. Incidentally, the Ram 1500 offers the highest number of speakers in its class.

The Ford F-150 also comes with a tech-savvy cabin; however, it’s a bit underwhelming compared to what you’ll have at your disposal inside the Ram. For starters, the 8-inch touchscreen you’ll find on its dashboard is not nearly as accessible as the one in the 1500.

Since the Ram 1500 delivers a speaker system with the highest number of speakers available in its class, the Ford F-150 falls behind in the audio department as well.

A Look at Comfort and Convenience

If you’re looking to relax during your ride, the Ram 1500 is the better choice over the Ford F-150 when it comes to comfort. For example, the Ram boasts such roomy measurements as 63.4 inches of front hip room, while the hip room for the front seat in the Ford measures only 62.5 inches.

There are many ways you can count on the Ram 1500 to make your time on the road as easy and enjoyable as possible. One primary example is that it comes standard with Electronic Stability-Control and Electronic Roll-Mitigation. Electronic Stability-Control corrects oversteering and understeering. With Electronic Roll-Mitigation, you can count on having less wheel lift. Both features accomplish their responsibilities by applying brakes to the necessary wheel and reducing power from the engine for increased stability.

If you need assistance fitting your 1500 into a tight spot, you can depend on the available Parallel and Perpendicular Park Assist with Stop to have your back. This handy piece of equipment provides guidance in terms of gear position and when to apply the accelerator and brake pedals while it takes control of steering.

The multifunction tailgate is another available aspect of the Ram 1500. With it, you can gain access to the bed of your truck in the way that’s the most convenient based on your needs. This is thanks to its 60/40 split swing-away doors that can swing open 88 degrees. Plus, the tailgate is able to open down to the traditional 180 degrees. Unfortunately, none of these features are found in the Ford F-150.
