2023 RAM 1500 vs 2023 Ford F-150


If you're in the market for a new pickup truck, you've likely considered the 2023 Ram 1500 and the 2023 Ford F-150. At first glance, these two trucks appear to have much in common. However, when you look closer, you'll see why you should go with the Ram 1500.


Engine Lineup

With the 2023 F-150 lineup, you have six engines to select from, including a 430-horsepower, 3.5-liter PowerBoost Full Hybrid V-6 that generates 570 pound-feet of torque. While that's a pretty substantial output, consider that the Ram 1500 TRX comes equipped with a 702-horsepower, 6.2-liter Supercharged HEMI V-8 that puts out 650 pound-feet of torque. This is the same legendary HEMI V-8 that sits under the hood of the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, and its incredible output enables the TRX to go from zero to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds.




Safety Technology

The Ram 1500 and Ford F-150 come standard with forward-collision systems that issue audio and visual warnings when they sense a potential collision with a vehicle or pedestrian and apply the brakes when you can't react in time. Another standard safety feature in the Ram 1500 lineup is a blind-spot monitor that alerts you to vehicles as they enter your blind-spot zones. Plus, every Ram 1500 offers automatic high-beam headlights that dim when they sense oncoming traffic, so they don't blind other drivers. While a blind-spot monitor and automatic high beams show up in the F-150 lineup, they're only available in upper trim levels.




It's easy to see why the 2023 Ram 1500 is the better choice compared to the 2023 Ford F-150. Test drive the Ram 1500 to experience all it offers.
