Ford F-150: Choose This If…

You want maximum towing capability (EcoBoost V6 tows up to 13,200 lbs), the widest variety of trim levels and options, the most popular truck for resale, or the available PowerBoost hybrid for fuel efficiency. The F-150 also offers the largest payload capacity in the class.

Ram 1500: Choose This If…

You prioritize ride quality — the Ram’s coil-spring rear suspension and optional air suspension make it the smoothest-riding truck on the road. The interior quality (especially Laramie and Limited trims) rivals luxury vehicles. The EcoDiesel V6 option offers best-in-class fuel economy.
