3 Reasons to Buy Ram Over Ford

3 Reasons to Buy Ram over Ford

With year-end clearance events in full effect, now is the perfect time to buy that new Ram pickup. Ram pickups are the most dependable trucks on the road. Year-after-year Ram pickups keep on delivering while other workhorses are put out to pasture. Ram offers the best powertrain options in the business guaranteeing a towing and hauling package that will fit anyone’s needs. The ride quality, comfort, and available technology truly outclass any other pickup in the industry.

Interior

The interior comfort of the Ram 1500 is far beyond that of the Ford F-150. This is a consensus across the industry and most critics would agree that this is the biggest weak spot for a Ford owner. The interior design of an F-150 is largely made up of cheap looking plastic moldings and only moderately comfortable seating. The Ram 1500 is top of its class when it comes to interior with its supportive seating and comfortable interior design. The Ram 1500 also offers the best infotainment system in the industry. The connectivity and ease of use of the Ram infotainment system far outclasses the Ford. While the Ford made attempts to bring its interior quality up a notch in 2017, it still does not compare to the interior quality of a Ram 1500.

Engine and Performance

While both offer multiple powertrain options the Ram offers a much more powerful and reliable engine. The 5.7-liter V8 that comes in Ram 1500 offers 395-horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque. This allows the Ram 1500 to tow well over 10,000 lbs when properly equipped. For those looking for that best-in-class towing experience, Ram offers a 6.7-liter turbo diesel engine that produces 900 ft-lbs torque. When equipped properly in Ram 3500s the 6.7-liter turbo diesel engine can tow over 31,000 lbs.

Quality and Reliability

Rams are steel bodied trucks while Fords are aluminum bodied. While the aluminum bodies offer greater fuel economy due to the lighter weight, consumer reports suggest that the durability with aluminum bodies is highly compromised. Aluminum bodies are easily dented or punctured and finding a body shop that can do the repairs can be quite difficult. Aluminum body repairs cost thousands more than steel bodies. This wouldn’t be a large issue if the aluminum bodies were dependable; however, as many consumers have pointed out their F-150s have been easily damaged when loading tools, or cargo into the bed. A work truck should be able to take a little bit of punishment without ruining your vehicle. Ram trucks offer steel bodies that can handle a day at the job site without having to worry about being compromised by a little bit of rough treatment.
