Ram 1500 vs. Ford F-150
Determining Which Truck is Best: The 2025 Ram 1500 vs Ford F-150
When it comes to full-size pickup trucks, the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150 have long been formidable competitors. However, with the release of the 2025 models, the Ram 1500 edges out the F-150 in several key areas. Let's take a closer look at how these two trucks stack up.
Performance
The new Ram 1500 features a 5.7-liter HEMI V8 that produces 395 horsepower and 410 lb.-ft of torque. This powertrain allows the Ram to tow up to 12,750 pounds when properly equipped. The Ram also features a smooth-shifting eight-speed automatic transmission and available 4x4 capability to tackle any terrain.
In comparison, the top-tier engine in the F-150 lineup is a 3.5-liter PowerBoost Hybrid V6. While efficient, it falls short of the Ram's muscular V8 in terms of raw power and torque. The Ram 1500 has a clear edge for drivers who need to haul heavy loads or want the confidence of robust V8 power.
Technology
When inside the Ram 1500, you'll find a 12-inch touchscreen powered by the Uconnect 5 infotainment system. Apple CarPlay and Android come standard as does a fully digital information cluster, head-up display, and 19-speaker Harman Kardon sound system.
While the F-150 has a capable SYNC 4 infotainment system, its touchscreen maxes out at 12 inches compared to the Ram's class-leading 14.5-inch display. The F-150 also can't match the Ram's range of high-end audio options and digital driver readouts. For tech-savvy truck buyers, the Ram 1500 delivers the most advanced and intuitive in-vehicle technology in its class.
Safety
Safety is paramount in the Ram 1500 as it offers systems including adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and automatic emergency braking. With dozens of standard and available safety features is a great truck to keep you safe on the road or off the beaten path.
The F-150 provides a similar array of safety features as part of its Ford Co-Pilot360 system. However, certain features like blind-spot monitoring are only optional on the F-150 while standard on the Ram 1500.
