The Ram 1500 Compared Against the Ford F-150
Versatility
The possibilities in the Ram 1500 seem endless, and while the Ford F-150 is an awesome pickup truck, there are not as many options available to it, and some are costly. The Ram 1500 has similar powertrain options to the Ford F-150, but if you are opting-in for a hybrid engine in your next pickup purchase, go with the less expensive, powerful Ram 1500 hybrid motor and save on your bottom line.
Design
Design details are important to any brand, but Ram focuses only on pickup trucks while Ford engineers' pickup truck designs are heavily influenced by their SUV counterparts. The Ford F-150 has an aggressive, boxy design that creates a less aerodynamic flow. The Ram design team keeps a refined pickup truck exterior that is still versatile without adding unnecessary design extras.
Fuel Economy
Respectively, both the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150 have great fuel economy ratings from the EPA. However, some Ram 1500 trim levels pull past the Ford F-150. The popular Ram 1500 Tradesman and Big Horn deliver an impressive 20 mpg city and 28 on the highway, where the Ford F-50 remains at 19/24 throughout their trim level offerings.
