RAM 1500 vs. Ford F-150: Engine Power and Performance

RAM 1500 vs. Ford F-150: Towing Capacity and Utility

The towing capacity you get out of your truck is also of critical importance. Whether you pick the F-150 or RAM 1500, you will get more than nearly any other truck on the market can offer — but when comparing RAM vs. Ford V8 engine performance, the RAM 1500 has an advantage of over 1,000 pounds. See the specs here:

Ford F-150 vs. RAM 1500V8 Towing Capacity

• RAM 1500 – 12,750 pounds with the 5.7L HEMI® V8 with eTorque
• Ford F-150 – 11,600 pounds with a comparable V8

Ford F-150 vs. RAM 1500 V6 Towing Capacity

• RAM 1500 – 12,560 pounds with the 3.0L EcoDiesel® V6
• Ford F-150 – 14,000 pounds with the V6 (but only 11,500 pounds with the diesel engine)

You might get more maximum towing capacity out of the F-150, but the RAM gives you a class-exclusive cargo management system, the RAMBOX® system with a lockable storage container. That, and you get a multifunction tailgate that swings open like a car door to make loading and unloading easier.
