RAM vs. Ford: Power and Efficiency
At the base trim level, two V6 engines face off in this Ford vs. RAM comparison. At higher levels, drivers can benefit from the return of the RAM 3.0L EcoDiesel V6, along with HEMI® options.

Towing Capacity for F-150 or RAM 1500
The RAM 1500 Tradesman base trim level, when properly equipped, can tow up to 12,750 pounds—the Ford F-150 XL base engine can only tow up to 7,700 pounds. To get the maximum towing capacity of 13,200 pounds from the Ford F-150, you need to upgrade to a Ford F-150 configuration with the 3.5L EcoBoost® V6 engine.
RAM vs. Ford: Interior Technology

The RAM 1500, on the other hand, doesn’t skimp when it comes to technology. Here are a handful of the standard features you’ll enjoy on the RAM that are missing from the base configuration of the Ford:
- Uconnect® infotainment system
- Bluetooth® connectivity
- Voice recognition
- Six-speaker sound system
