Both the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150 are equipped with enough power to get you through the toughest driving conditions, tow a trailer, and handle a heavy payload. Each pickup also gives you options like hybrid technology and straight-up supercharged engines.

You’ll find more power under the hood of the Ram 1500, though. Its 6.2L Supercharged HEMI® V8 engine makes your truck feel powerful with a whopping 702 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque. With that kind of performance, it can reach speeds of up to 118 MPH.

The Ford F-150 can’t come close to that kind of output. While its 3.5L High-Output EcoBoost® V6 engine offers an impressive 450 horsepower and 510 lb-ft of torque, it can’t accelerate nearly as quickly—or trek through the same tough terrain—as the Ram.

You can feel comfortable hitching a large trailer, some recreational vehicles, or a boat to both powerful trucks. The Ram 1500 and Ford F-150 even offer trailering features like rear back-up cameras, Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross Path and Trailer Detection, and Trailer Sway Control. They even make it easy to back your cargo into place with Trailer Reverse Steering Control.

Feel free to load up the truck beds with a heavy payload, too. Each one is built with a strong frame and rests on a versatile suspension.

The Ram 1500 gives you more ways to load up the truck bed, though. First, it lets you get closer to your cargo with an available multifunction tailgate. This 60/40 split gate can open like a set of doors or drop down like a traditional tailgate.

You can even load up the walls of your truck bed, thanks to the available RamBox® Cargo Management System. These built-in storage compartments feature their own locks, so they’re a perfect spot to store tools and valuables. They even include their own drains, which makes it easy to rinse them out—or turn them into portable coolers!

The Ford F-150 offers a traditional tailgate, but it doesn’t provide the same type of storage options in the truck bed.

Whether you need to get directions or put on a great playlist for your drive, both trucks have you covered with state-of-the-art infotainment systems. A 12-inch touchscreen is available in both the Ram 1500 and the Ford F-150. It can guide you with turn-by-turn directions, help you stay in touch, and stream music with the following features:

• Apple CarPlay®
• Android Auto™
• 4G Wi-Fi Hotspot
• Navigation
• Voice recognition

You’ll be able to view a map of your route in real time on the dashboard of either pickup. However, only the Ram lets you see where your next turn is coming up without taking your eyes off the road. Its available Head-Up Display projects information right in your line of sight. The F-150 doesn’t offer a Head-Up Display.
