Full retail value on my trade and came down significantly of sticker, threw in a spray liner, steps and other goodies along with a lifetime powertrain warranty absolutely free of charge.

I don't know if you have been living under a rock or not or missing some news, but at the moment, Ford has way more gimmicks on features on their trucks than most others, Pro Power Onboard being the biggest one yet which opens up a whole lobby of things you can do. Ram has nothing close to that, what a tailgate that opens up to the side, or has a cover that any truck has as an option, storage compartment is a plus, but it's not like the F150 doesn't have any either especially with the new Lightning. The lightning on it's own only showed that Ford has stepped up their game way before Ram had even announced they are making a E-truck.

Truck guy here. Grille design and 4x4 stickers and tailgate gimmicks are not on my list of priorities. The 7.92kw pro power option in the F150 hybrid makes this a no brainer. For powering tools or camping or powering an off grid cabin, it would be awesome! Whenever power outages and rolling blackouts hit as out infrastructure crumbles, I'll be able to power my house with a generator on wheels with a 30 gallon fuel tank. As a hybrid it can get over 20mpg. That and the additional 100# of torque. And the 3.5 is very reliable. I have no idea what reliability issues an e-torque hemi is going to have after a few years. I'm not much into plastic molded barbwire, but that Ram interior is pretty nice, but to me, that's its only advantage. I'm 6'7", and if average height Jakub doesn't fit in the Ram, then I'll definitely have issues.

I’m a truck guy, I’d go with the F150 even though I like the Ram looks slightly better. The interior is nicer (more robust) in the RAM, but the Ford has a better more contemporary layout for function. I’d say no to the off-road stickers question. I may be buying a new Raptor and will be choosing the sticker and rear application delete. Between Ram and Ford, I’d be inclined to try out Ram again; but love the door keypad too much, and the Ford lane-centering tech (along with CoPilot) is the final nail in the coffin for Ram. Not to mention the Ford seems to be faster in every scenario that doesn’t include the TRX.

I liked that this truck review was a bit different than most others online. What I mean by this is that they reviewed them from more of a realistic perspective for how the majority of buyers will ACTUALLY assess these trucks themselves when shopping. Focusing mostly on aesthetic aspects, functionality, their general experience and overall feel of the trucks as most actual buyers of these trucks do. They didn’t get stuck on or focus on technical specs or what each may or may not be capable of because they both obviously are quite capable. Great realistic review @TheStraightPipes !!!

[@TheStraightPipes]

I’m not a truck guy, but I’ve recently come to the conclusion that I’ll need one and the Ram 1500 seems like the better money spent especially with the V8 hemi and interior styling.

[@jordanjoestar8839]

One thing I always consider in the RAM vs Ford debate. A big V8 is simple. A Twin turbo V6 has hundreds of failure points, valves, air hoses, diverters, sensors and more. In the long run, the V6 ends up in the shop for turbo seals, dried hoses cracking and tons of other issues. How do I know? I see them in the shop constantly for this, including our work truck x3. Can't say the same for the Ram, speaking from experience.

[@chrisloesch1870]

Chrysler transmissions are still a huge problem for RAM until they solve that won’t buy one

Rams are nice looking trucks but the 5th gens and prior are far from reliable, lucky to hit 50xxx without exhaust manifolds cracking studs breaking, cam and lifter failures. They both have issues hopefully you get lucky with either brand.

I have to go with the Ram because of the lack of a turbocharger. Turbos can get expensive to repair or replace. Ram also has air suspension, tailgate, the Ram boxes and the best interior. Towing is not an issue because once you get over 10,000 lbs in some areas you need a class 1 license.

[@21divel]

If it's about cost, air suspension isn't cheap....some would say it's every bit as expensive as turbos. Lol

[@kevinsooley9935]

Let's face it truck fans. They are both massively good. I'll have one of each.

[@rkalla]

It's not an addition 130 ft/lbs torque in Ram (for some reason) - they engineered it to be replacement torque when motor is spooling - not additive.

[@Galo_Morales]

[@Waynerking]

They both ride great around town I'm sure. Take them on some rough stuff. I had a first gen aluminum F-150 and it felt really unstable on the bumps, the new ones feel better I think though and it is nice to see the interior catching up to the RAM finally.

I had a brand new 2017 Ford F-150 limited for 2 1/2 years and then I traded it in for a 2020 ram 1500 Limited. I put 36,000 miles on the Ford and I am up to 30,000 miles on the ram and I can honestly say I am absolutely in love with this Ram. I’m probably going to keep this another two years and then trade it in for another ram 1500. The ride quality of the ram is second to none. And the ram boxes come in so handy

[@TheFlea1987]

Love the tailgate on the Ram and would really like to see something similar on Ford. That's really all I'd take from the Ram. Driven both with the same engines as in this video and I do enjoy the turbos more. I'd get a tremor package though and remove the stickers and rear tremor badge.

[@trance20001]

You will hate turbos when it will come to replacing them. Buying them is cheap but the labor to remove engine to replace turbos is insane. Also, the Ford 10 Speed is the most unreliable transmission in the full size pickup segment.

That looked like a 701A Platinum, It'll have a lot more than what you guys talked about, mainly didn't talk about the over the air updates for sync4, plus Blue cruise, raising the dampened tailgate only 2" will bring it up, Massaging seats in Platinums, King Ranches and Limited standard, Max recline driver and passenger seats(option), there is a lockable fold-flat storage in the back seats as an option (like the SuperDuties), Optional on board scale. I am just saying there are some great features you missed, obviously you cannot hit every single thing, the RAM is a great truck but the 150 tows more while being more fuel efficient, while being the best selling vehicle in America for 40years straight including during Covid.

The ecojunk is horrible the turbo does not increase the towing at all it’s to much for the little v6 just wait a few years you will see

[@1986hvwchampion]

Ya if you are looking to tow get HD truck. There's no other way

[@raionshishi8290]

​@@manpan4693 It can tow based on the way it is equipped, it can tow more overall. It is not too much for the v6 considering many people buy these in fleet and use them in this exact way, the fact that it has more hp and tq and is overall more potent actually makes it better at towing than any other engine, and at higher areas it would also still tow better compared to an N/A engine because of the difference of altitude and air. I have seen way to many comparison videos and videos of people talking about the Ecoboost and the reality of it is that it runs fine in most conditions, it doesn't overheat all the time, it can tow incredibly well and strong, it is not too much for it to handle and it can tow more.

[@fishonf1508]

I tow a grand design 2400bh. Tows like a champ. Never any issues with the 3.5. It just wants to keep pulling. Remember how much you tow depends on payload capacity not trailer weight. There is a big difference.

[@1986hvwchampion]

@@fishonf1508 my wife's uncle had the ecoboost 3.5 he towed for a few years and thought it was great 👍. Until he bought a 6.7 powerstroke 1 ton. And it made him realize how hard the 3.5 was working compared to the diesel. If you tow once in a while it's okay. But frequently heavy load,Definitely a diesel HD there's no comparison. You will never know until you try a HD truck that's my point.

A friend of mine is involved in the management of a large fleet of pickup trucks. Their purchasing department loves the Ram because they are cheaper to buy. Everyone else hates them because they have a much higher total cost of ownership than the F-150. Apparently the Ram isn't nearly as reliable as the F-150 and falls apart a lot faster under the workload they are subjected to. The fleet managers have started specifying a combination of cab/bed length/drivetrain/whatever that the Ram does not offer in order to force the purchasing department to only buy the Ford.
