Ram 1500 vs. Ford F-150: Which Full-Size Truck Suits You Best?
Full-size trucks have strong capabilities, but they're not just for work. Many Fergus Falls, MN drivers use them for their commute. The new Ram 1500 has an upmarket interior and a comfortable ride that other light-duty trucks can't match. The new Ford F-150 is also a capable full-size truck, but it's not as well-rounded as the new Ram 1500. Nelson Auto Center, Inc. has the Ram 1500 in our new inventory, and we proudly put forth the following comparison to show you why it has more to offer.
Ride Quality
The new Ram 1500 comes standard with a coil-spring rear suspension for a relaxed ride on paved streets in Fargo, ND. Its optional air suspension has an adjustable ride height, which aids fuel efficiency and off-road performance.
The new Ford F-150 has a standard leaf spring suspension, so it's not quite as comfortable to ride in as the Ram 1500.
Interior Quality
You'll likely spend more time cruising around Detroit Lakes, MN than towing hefty trailers. The new Ram 1500 has a sleek, well-built cab, even in the base-level Tradesman models. Top-rung Ram 1500 Tungsten trims have premium quilted leather upholstery, genuine wood trim, a suede headliner, and a dual-pane panoramic sunroof for a more luxurious driving experience.
The new Ford F-150 has upscale materials in its higher trims, but it's not as posh or plush as the Ram 1500.
Cab Space
You and your passengers should have plenty of room to relax during trips to Alexandria, MN, and beyond. The new Ram 1500 Crew Cab models have over 40 inches of front legroom and more than 45 inches of rear legroom.
The new Ford F-150 SuperCrew cabs also offer more than 40 inches of front legroom, but only 43.6 inches of rear legroom.
Infotainment Tech
A feature-filled infotainment system livens up lengthy journeys in the Wahpeton, ND area. The new Ram 1500 offers the user-friendly Uconnect® 5 infotainment system. Tungsten models have 14.5-inch touchscreens and 23-speaker Klipsch stereo systems.
The new Ford F-150 also has a straightforward infotainment system, but its largest touchscreen is just 12 inches long. Additionally, its highest stereo upgrade only has 14 speakers.
Safety
You'll rest assured about your safety when rolling through Morris, MN in the new Ram 1500. Its five standard driver assistance features include adaptive cruise control, which helps you keep a safe distance between your truck and the vehicle in front of it. The Ram 1500's standard parking sensors alert you to obstacles that may not be visible in front of or behind the truck when parking.
The new Ford F-150 only has four standard advanced active safety features. Adaptive cruise control is available in the F-150, but you must pay more for a higher trim.
