2019 RAM 1500 vs. 2019 Ford F-150

You’ll have the luxury of choosing from a V6 or V8 engine with both of these full-size pickups, along with a smooth-shifting transmission, but which one has the raw power you need for commuting to Indian River? Explore their specs in detail, below:

• F-150 Engines: If you were to choose an F-150, your engine options would range from a 250-hp 3.0L turbo-diesel engine to a 450-hp 3.5L twin-turbo or a 395-hp 5.0L V8 engine.
• Ram 1500 Engines: On the RAM 1500, the standard engine is a 305-hp 3.6L V6, or you can upgrade to a 395-hp 5.7L V8, as well as a mild hybrid version of the V8.

The F-150 is available with a 6- or 10-speed automatic transmission, while the RAM 1500 offers a nice middle ground with a standard 8-speed automatic across all engine options.

When you’re shopping for tow cars for sale, the RAM 1500 is an optimal choice, offering Best-in-Class V8 Towing*. You’ll be able to haul up to 12,750 pounds when your RAM 1500 is fitted with the 5.7L HEMI® V8 engine with eTorque. When the F-150 is equipped with its own 5.0L V8, it’s only capable of towing up to 11,600 pounds. You can increase the F-150 towing capacity to 13,000 pounds with the 3.5L EcoBoost V6, but when you consider the bigger picture of all that the RAM has to offer, this isn’t a significant increase.

Where interior tech features are concerned, you’ll be pleased to hear that the 2019 RAM 1500 offers Onaway shoppers much more for their money at its entry-level trim. Here are some standard feature highlights that aren’t available in the baseline F-150:
