2025 Ford F-150 vs 2025 Ram 1500
The Ford F-150 has been the most popular full-size pickup in America for more than 47 years in a row, something that's unprecedented in automotive history. When truck buyers keep choosing the Ford F-150 over competitors it reflects the experience of owners who can select any pickup they want. The fact that the F-150 keeps coming out on top tells you that this truck has big advantages compared with its rivals. To illustrate the differences, let's compare the Ford F-150 to another popular full-size pickup, the Ram 1500. You'll quickly see why the new Ford F-150 is clearly the better choice and well worth a test drive at Springfield Ford in Springfield, PA.
A comparison of engines and performance
The Ford F-150 gives Springfield, PA buyers a total of six different engines to choose from. It starts with a standard 3.3-liter V6 engine that creats 290 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque. The 3.5-liter EcoBoost® V6 can be counted on for 325 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque. The 3.5-liter EcoBoost® high-output V6 produces 450 horsepower and the cream of the crop is the 5.2-liter high-output Supercharged V8 with a formidable 700 horsepower. The F-150 also offers a fuel-efficient hybrid powertrain: The 3.5-liter PowerBoost™ full hybrid V6 with 570 pound-feet of torque. A hybrid is something you simply can't get from the Ram 1500.
Meanwhile, the 2025 Ram 1500 falls short right out of the gate by giving you only three engines to choose from. The 3.6-liter Pentastar® V6 delivers 305 horsepower and unfortunately, Ram no longer offers the 5.7-liter HEMI® V8 engines that kept the Ram 1500 in the running. Instead, Ram has dropped down to a pair of twin-turbo inline-six-cylinder Hurricane engine that come with either 420 horsepower or 540 horsepower, so the Ford F-150 has substantially increased its lead even more over the Ram 1500 in terms of performance.
