There
are a lot of great pickup trucks on the roads of Chittenden County.
From St. Albans to South Burlington, drivers appreciate the ability to
haul their gear and equipment, get wherever they need to go, and even
get the best in available towing capacity. Of course, the competition
for the best pickup is intense, and among the best on the road today are
the Ram 1500 and the Ford F-150.
These two trucks are both powerhouse performers that offer plenty of performance configurations and solid technology. So, which one does give you the best option for your day-to-day work and play needs? Goss Dodge Chrysler Ram Jeep has placed these two side by side for you to find out for yourself. Check out this direct comparison of the 2020 Ram 1500 vs. the 2020 Ford F-150, so you can make the best light-duty pickup choice for your needs.
2020 Ram 1500 vs Ford F-150: Performance
At
the heart of every truck is a solid performance that lets you do
exactly what you want. Luckily enough, both the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150
offer the power you need for both city driving and taking on challenging
duties on the worksite. Though they each come with multiple engines to
choose from to elevate your drive, when comparing standard performance,
one may leave you wanting a little more oomph under the hood.
The Ram offers a vigorous standard performance. It is powered by a 3.6L V6 engine that boasts 305 horsepower to easily make you ruler of the roads. For optimal towing, you can thank its impressive 269 lb-ft of torque which aids in your truck's capability.
Though the Ford F-150 is no doubt full of strength, the robust Ram truck has it beat. When standardly equipped, the F-150's 3.3L V6 only generates up to 290 horsepower. The torque also comes up short, supplying you with 265 lb-ft-which might limit the truck's power on and off the roads.
Available Technology
Both
the Ram and Ford pickups give drivers a suite of entertainment,
connectivity, and innovation right inside the cabin. There's no doubt
these two models are well advanced, but which one has the features you
want to elevate your drives?
Available in the Ford, you will find the latest SYNC® infotainment interface which hosts streamlined smartphone integration, navigation, and access to your favorite apps while on the go.
Ram, by comparison, gives you the Uconnect® infotainment system with full Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay® integration, Bluetooth®, USB ports, an auxiliary jack, and even a full 4G Wi-Fi® Hotspot. Better yet, it comes complete with an available 12-inch touchscreen, which is one of the largest in its class.
Incidentally, even if you step up to the SYNC® 3 package for the F-150, you'll only get a smaller 8-inch touchscreen.
