2018 Half-Ton Shootout: F-150 vs Silverado vs Ram 1500

[@DaveH046]

Also on the Ram, the reviewer states that the towing capacity on the Ram is 7600lbs but if you opt for the 3.92 axle you get 10,200 on the 4x4.

[@eyezick]

That's correct. My 2018 hemi with 3.92s is rated for 10,490 and I've hauled 9-10,000 with ease, no airbag suspension either

He pissed me off with the towing comments on the Ram. He chose to compare a Ram with 3.23s instead of getting the 3.92s which would have been the most fair comparison. You can get the 3.92s in very trim level. At the least he should have mentioned those facts.

[@JustAGuy85]

Yeah, but now the 2015-2018 or 2019 or so all blow transmissions (torque converters to be specific) by 80-120k miles. And when the TC goes out, the whole transmission bites the dust because of all the debris that goes into them. Look it up. The 6L80 and 6L90 are pure junk. GM NEVER could make a good transmission. Even back with the 700R4s and 4L60E, they were all biting the dust before 100k miles. You can't beat a Ford. Will it beat a Chevy or Dodge truck in a drag race? No. But that's not what trucks are for. They are for working and driving off road and when it comes to that, Ford is unbeatable.

[@niksikk15]

Two of the three trucks are premium engines and the Chevy is only the base V8 hmmm what's with that? Where is the 6.2?

Andy Hass well the Ecoboost is definitely not the base engine and neither is the hemi all these trucks are different trim level so it's not even a good comparison to begin with and the 5.3 is not a POS it's a great motor just not as powerful as the 6.2 or other premium options.

[@niksikk15]

Nova Man the 6.2 has 420 hp and 460 lb ft the most powerful engine you can buy in a half ton so they are not behind especially seems both of those engine are a few years old now and are being charged for 2019 that will put them further ahead of what RAM and Ford as premium engines choices

[@niksikk15]

Nova Man yeah they only offer max 3.42 gears in 6.2 so it's more fuel efficient and not going to be as quick and will still pull more than a hemi and the engine is still more powerful

[@thomaspaul2465]

Good review on the air ride. Another advantage off road is when the trucks are loaded down to max payload with gear and people the other two trucks will suffer from suspension sag and lose on all the approach, breakover, body and departure angles. The Ram with air ride will level out and lose nothing, making it a far better off road truck than the other two.

[@hidmagnum]

Ram suspension is either Coil springs on 4 corners or Air bags on all 4 corners. It doesn't come with both. The rear suspension is a 5 link in either configuration.

All good trucks I believe, I do have a 2019 F150 KR and it’s been a great vehicle overall, it corners well and with the aluminum body’s lower weight seems almost sporty. The 3.5 is not set up for high revs but certainly doesn’t lack for power, it seems to tow heavy loads without effort.

Nice trucks, but should have had the high country for the comparison. It wouldn’t have made a difference, except for the sound :) Gm is really failing their customers.

You do understand the 22" wheels on the Ford actually decreases off-road capability, especially in the snow? The 18"'s or even 20"s on the King Ranch or Platinum would make a significant difference. The Silverado and the Ram have 18" wheels, the additional give in the side walls allows for significantly more grip. Whether you realize it or not what you really did was demonstrate why putting 22" wheels on a truck that is meant for anything other than pavement is a terrible idea.

[@brentreeve7554]

I feel like I'll never get an unbiased answer to this, but I'm in the market. As I have no brand loyalty to speak of, all 3 of these are realistically in the running (I refuse to buy outside of the former big 3 though). I plan to drive it for 10yrs+. This'll be my first actual truck I've owned (some SUVs and cars before). I won't be doing much, if anything, of the typical modding either like tires, lift kits, suspensions, etc. At most I can see like a tuner chip or something to bump some performance aspects. It'll be mainly a daily driver mostly urban but eventually mixed with country roads. I may occasionally haul stuff like soil, trees, bricks, etc (weekend warrior type stuff) and tow very little ever barring maybe a boat or flat trailer with a tractor on it or something. The RAMs are kinda ugly to me but they obviously have a lot of things going for them. Fords EB worry the hell out of me for longevity and the alleged fact that they're always working harder to do much. I keep hearing mixd things every review I watch/read and these comments always seem to fill exclusively with biased fanboys. Obviously I'll test drive before I buy, and that may tell me more than I'm expecting alone, but how do I decide?

Are you going to do a 2018 3500 Diesel comparison? I'm in the market for a new dually Diesel my 2013 Powerstroke is over 400k and starting to show its age.

[@harleyjackson5513]

Get the Ford!

[@gaz0463]

Why didn’t you fit the same tyres to all trucks?

[@XDM10]

Lol at 67000$ i paid 3500$ for my truck and it hauls, goes offroad and gets me around just fine. I would rather own 20 of my 2002 silverado than 1 of those fords, and could for the $.

[@caseydman4651]

There's a reason your chevy costs 3,500, it just baffles me why someone would pay that much for someone elses garbage.

[@XDM10]

Casey Dman had it for 3 years and over 80k, and put 20$ in gas tank straps into it, outside of oil changes and tires. I beat the hell out of it, and treat it like a truck. Ill save the 50,000$ and not be scared to use my truck as a truck.

[@universalwraps8071]

That’s great if your poor, so congrats, but if you were rich you’d be riding one of these hypocrite

[@sammy10001]

cool. nobody gives a fuck bout ur junk

[@XDM10]

sammy10001 my truck runs a1. Looks pretty good too for the shit i put it through. I owned a brand new truck once, and realized it was a dumb decision. Im not very materialistic with my trucks as long as it can haul shit im good. Its a tool not a luxury vehicle.

[@nathanhardless7552]

Do you know if the Dodge has fixed the Ram air suspension failure in the cold?

[@paulhunter9613]

Yup, move south..

[@Jwats1283]

Can you do a 2500 comparison

[@danripp8917]

I’m glad someone pointed out how the Ford interiors feel cheap plastic wise. Plus try to find a nice f150 without a b pillar filled with paint swirls right on the dealer lot too. I still think the fords are nice but I overall like the ram better. A ram with the the 3.92 with the 5.7 is a winning combo. You really can find deals on the ram 1500. Can’t say that about the ford. As far as I’m tracking the ram is the only one offering factory extended warranty. Too me that says something there. Love the hate the ram gets but this isn’t the same truck from the early 2000’s ford fan boys.

[@anthonymacneil2279]

Why not compare apples to apples and be fair put the 6.2L in the Silverado. Have a 17 High Country 6.2L and it's a beast. Classy looking truck. Had a 14 Ram Sport Crew great truck but doesn't compare to HC. As for Ford well I'm not even going to comment on it.

[@jumper780]

Because then they would have to match that up against the 6.4L Hemi.

[@anthonymacneil2279]

Martin Garcia 5.3L foot pounds torque of 383 doesn't compare to Ford's 470 and Rams 410 not a level playing field. Talk to me when it's fair because this certainly wasn't.

[@Tractionless]

Martin Garcia These is a half ton truck comparison. The 6.4L Hemi is not offered in half ton trim, the 6.2L is, thus makes the 6.4L Hemi obsolete for this test, but not the 6.2L.

[@Smokeshow767]

Last 2 trucks were Chevys. The designers of the new Cheverolet trucks should get kicked in the nuts. Ugly as hell with outdated interior. Went with the new F150 this time and not disappointed.

[@anthonymacneil2279]

arfbarg Agree very disappointed with the inside and out design looks like a child designed it.

[@sowingtruth715]

A limited is a luxury version of the f150 why don’t you use an xlt 4x4

[@Seasniffer1969]

The f150 can be ordered with the HDPP (heavy duty payload package) which will indeed give it the payload capacity of a 3/4 ton. It's as close to a heavy half ton as it gets now

[@illucidindelible1410]

You know the air suspension doesn't have coils as well right?

[@jeffreyharbaugh4226]

You apparently have no idea on the facts

[@illucidindelible1410]

Jeffrey Harbaugh ok please explain the facts to me if I have no idea?? Lol please enlighten me

[@02mp9696]

Limited means a couple badges, some panel trim, fancy rims, and some embroidery lol. Bam, $20k extra.

[@Thebignatedawg76]

Apples and Oranges on the trim levels.

[@ericonelove1179]

You would almost have to get the biggest engine possible for each truck and the best off-road package available for each truck to make it a fair comparison

[@SergePupko]

Dont know about you people but when I hear "SRA" tires don't exactly come to mind lol

[@richardmiller1256]

Those are low tow ratings for new trucks. What was the diff gear? My wife's Silverado is rated to tow 12,500, but I also found the only 3.42 in the city. Every other Silverado half ton had a 3.07 or 3.23. I'm sure that made the difference. Also changed the power delivery and helped keep the heavy truck in 4cyl mode when cruising. Still doesn't compete with the Ecoboost, but it isn't slow.

[@christinearmington]

Great presentation. So smooth and to the point, I got over further/farther!

[@justinbergendahl]

I drive an eco boost with a 6 speed and I can’t stand when the transmission has to always shift to find the right power band for the speed. I always use the manual shift mode.

[@alexanderthegreat3674]

I have the ram in crew cab. I wanted the extra interior space. Towing is a lower priority. When i do its only a couple atvs. I think they are all nice nowadays. I probably would have been happy in anyone.

[@pudgylittlehamster]

The only thing that matters while driving in snow is traction and heated seats or steering wheel.

[@lazerbeastgamer355hd7]

If a normal ram won this, imagine how easily the rebel would

[@alexsj5790]

Tsang Sung yea the older model wait till they compare the Laramie longhorn or Limited 2019

[@davidhaywood9794]

LazerBeastGamer355 HD love my rebel

[@Justin-rk1bj]

We have tried all three on the farm dodge couldn’t handle it for was pretty good chevy handled it that goes for both gas and diesel trucks

[@Justin-rk1bj]

MR Bloom farmyard you can’t spell proves you shouldn’t put anything on here

[@actonlawncare3938]

Need an updated version of this video once the ram sxt comes out in the next few years!

[@hurricane8634]

Ya update on hoe many problems they have.

[@DWRants]

Ford does not set the bar. It is the bar. Over 1 million plus sold every year. Chevy and Dodge wish that can perform like an F-150. The EcoBoost is money and will continue to dominate
