How does our new Ford F-150 compare to the Ram 1500?
As one of the premier new Ford dealers serving drivers from Wahpeton to Detroit Lakes and Fargo, we're proud to say that drivers come to us for everything from great deals on new Ford financing to competitive offers on used cars, trucks, and SUVs. However, by far the best reason to consider dropping by our dealership these days is the impressive array of new Ford trucks we have in store, including the iconic new Ford F-150 pickup. This outstanding new Ford F-Series model is America's best-selling truck for a reason, and to prove it, we've pitted it against one of its chief rivals in the new Ram 1500 in our competitive comparison.
Performance
When comparing two light-duty trucks like the new Ford F-150 and Ram 1500, there are a lot of key differences to account for, but perhaps the best thing to start with is what's under the hood. Now, both the new Ford F-150 and Ram 1500 are powerful pickups in their own right, but when you take a peek at their powertrain options, you'll see that the Ford F-150 has some clear advantages.
For starters, the standard V6 engine of the new Ford F-150 has considerably more horsepower and torque than the standard engine on the new Ram 1500. So, if you're looking for a powerful pickup that'll give you the brawn you need to take on anything in the greater Alexandria, MN area, the new Ford F-150 wins out over its Ram competitor.
Towing
When it comes to towing power, we think you'll be pleasantly surprised by just how much you can haul with the powerful new Ford F-150. When properly equipped, the new Ford F-150 can move up to 13,500 pounds, allowing you to tow boats, travel trailers, utility trailers and more in your travels around Morris, MN and beyond. By comparison, the new Ram 1500 can only really move up to 11,550 pounds in its most powerful format, leaving it lagging behind the Ford F-150 by thousands of pounds.
Off-Roading
If you're like many drivers in the greater Morris, MN area, then you love the great outdoors, and having a truck on your side that can take you on hiking, camping, and off-road excursions is your priority, you should make it a point to check out what the new Ford F-150 has to offer. With three distinct off-road trims that include the Ford F-150 Tremor, Ford F-150 Raptor, and Ford F-150 Raptor R, the new Ford F-150 is capable of tackling tough terrain with much greater ease than many other trucks on the road. That includes the new Ram 1500, which only offers one distinct off-road trim in its Ram 1500 Rebel variant.
Utility
One of our favorite features in the new Ford F-150 is its available Pro Power Onboard system, which leverages the hybrid electric capabilities of the PowerBoost™ full hybrid powertrain on the vehicle to turn it into a portable generator. Perfect for everything from tailgating near Fargo or powering tools on the jobsite near Wahpeton, the Pro Power Onboard system is unlike anything you'll find on other new trucks today. In fact, the new Ram 1500 not only lacks similar features, but it can't even be had with a hybrid powertrain.
Technology and Safety
With the new Ford F-150, you can take advantage of innovations like Ford Blue Cruise to enjoy hands-free highway driving and the Ford Co-Pilot360® suite of safety features. Unfortunately, while the new Ram 1500 has its own suite of safety technologies, it lacks a comparable feature like Ford Blue Cruise on its equipment list.
