Ford F-150 Vs Ram 1500

Ford F-150 vs. Ram 1500: Which Full-Size Truck Has the Power and Technology You Need in Booneville, AR?

Pickup trucks are tremendously popular these days because they're more versatile than most vehicles. Full-size trucks like the Ford F-150 are great for work tasks, off-roading, or even your everyday commute in Booneville, AR. The Ram 1500 is also a brawny full-size pickup, but it can't match the F-150's all-around excellence. At Bill White Ford, we offer the following comparison of these two light-duty trucks to help you decide which one to purchase or lease.

Power and Performance: Ford F-150 vs. Ram 1500

Engines

You need a powerful truck - not just for chores, but for easier passing on the highways around Fort Smith, AR. The Ford F-150 offers four mighty engines to choose from, including:

  • 325-horsepower twin-turbocharged 2.7-liter V6
  • 400-horsepower twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6
  • 400-horsepower 5.0-liter V8
  • twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6 and an electric motor making a combined 430 horsepower

For most drivers, the Ford F-150's 325-horsepower base engine has all the oomph they need. The Ram 1500's base engine only generates 305 horsepower. Eco-conscious drivers will appreciate the F-150's available 430-horsepower hybrid powertrain. The Ram 1500 doesn't offer a hybrid engine.

Capabilities

The Ford F-150 continues to lead the full-size truck class when it comes to towing and hauling. If you need to pull trailers or haul boxes in Charleston, AR, the F-150 is your best bet. When properly equipped, it can tow up to 13,500 pounds and carry a payload of up to 3,325 pounds. The Ram 1500 maxes out at 11,610 pounds for towing, and the most it can haul is 2,360 pounds.

If you enjoy conquering off-road trails near Greenwood, AR, go with the Ford F-150. It's available in three off-road-focused trims, including the F-150 Tremor, Raptor, and Raptor R. The Ram 1500 only offers two off-road-oriented trims - the Rebel and the RHO.

Technology

The Ford F-150 has a host of tech features that make it pleasant to spend time in. Every trim comes standard with a 12-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto. The Ram 1500's standard touchscreen is just 8.4-inches long, although a bigger screen is available.

The Ford F-150's available Pro Power Onboard acts as a generator that you can use to power up lights, air compressors, TiG welders, and more for worksites, tailgating, or campsites near Paris, AR. The Ram 1500 doesn't offer an onboard generator.
