See How the Ford F-150 Compares to the New Ram 1500 and Chevy Silverado 1500.
The full-size truck class has three models that stand above the others. These trucks have long been competing with each other, and one has been a fan-favorite of more drivers in the area than the other two. If you haven't already guessed, the Ford F-150 is the truck we're talking about, with the Chevy Silverado 1500 and Ram 1500 as the competitors.
We've explained to many drivers the benefits of buying a new Ford F-150, which includes comparing the Ford F-150 to the Ram 1500 and Chevy Silverado 1500. Below, you can find a Ford F-150 comparison with both these trucks so that you know all the details before buying your next truck!
New Ford F-150 vs Ram 1500
The Ford F-150 offers everything that drivers expect and want from the truck class. It has best-in-class towing with a max towing capacity of 14,000 pounds, which bests the 12,750-pound max towing capacity of the Ram 1500. The Ford F-150 is also ready to haul more in the bed than the Ram 1500 can handle. The Ford F-150 has a 3,325-pound max payload capacity compared to the 2,300-pound max payload of the Ram 1500. If you're buying a truck for weekend projects or towing needs, the Ford F-150 beats out the Ram 1500.
Of course, having the right truck for the job is about more than just power and capacities. Both the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150 come with a variety of cab sizes and offer different bed lengths. The Ford F-150 does offer an 8-foot bed that is longer than any Ram 1500 bed length. When you look at the crew cab dimensions of these trucks, you'll find that the Ford F-150 has more front legroom, 43.9 inches, compared to the 40.9 inches of front legroom in the Ram 1500.
Finally, the Ford F-150 provides a wider range of features and more convenience from them than the Ram 1500 can. You'll enjoy an easier time backing your trailer in with the Pro Trailer Backup Assist system of the F-150, which the Ram 1500 doesn't have an answer for. The Ford F-150 also has wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, while the Ram truck requires a wire.
New Ford F-150 vs New Chevy Silverado 1500
The Ford F-150 and Chevy Silverado 1500 have been going head-to-head for a long time now, and the new models provide even more to help out drivers. The new Ford F-150 does again come out on top regarding capability. It has engines packing up to 450 horsepower and 510 pound-feet of torque, which beat the 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque in the Silverado 1500's most powerful engine. Having more power helps the Ford F-150 tow 700 more pounds and haul a payload over 1,000 pounds heavier than the Chevy can handle.
These models come in a variety of configurations, but the Ford F-150 is again the one with the larger cabin. This time, the new Ford truck provides more rear-row legroom than the competition, which is great for those with crews or often in charge of driving. The Ford F-150 also has smart design elements not in the Chevy Silverado 1500, and those range from a stowable shifter to an in-cab work surface for paperwork and more!
Feature-wise, the Ford F-150 just has more to offer than other trucks, and those additional features make all the difference. The Ford F-150 blind-spot monitoring system includes trailer detection that you won't find in the Silverado 1500.
