Compare the Ram 1500 vs Ford F-150 Near Shallotte, NC
In the world of full-size pickups, the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150 are two of the most popular names on the road. Both offer strong capability and a range of configurations, but many drivers find that the Ram 1500 has a more refined balance of strength, comfort, and innovation. Here's how Ram's flagship truck stands apart from its most prominent competitor.

Ride Quality and Comfort
Unlike the F-150's traditional leaf-spring rear suspension, the Ram 1500 uses a class-exclusive multi-link coil spring rear suspension for a noticeably smoother ride, especially on uneven roads or when towing. It's a difference you'll feel whether you're hauling a trailer up Highway 17 or just cruising through Shallotte. Available air suspension further enhances comfort and control, a feature the F-150 doesn't offer.


Interior Design and Materials
The Ram 1500 continues to lead in cabin quality, offering an upscale feel across its lineup. Available trims like Laramie, Limited, and Rebel boast premium interior materials, intuitive layout, and large touchscreens, including 12-inch and 14.5-inch options. The F-150's cabin is functional, but can't match Ram 1500's attention to detail, refinement, or available infotainment screen size-especially at similar price points.
Performance
The Ram 1500's 3.0-liter turbocharged I6 Hurricane engine is available in two levels. The standard version makes 420 horsepower and 469 pound-feet of torque, while the high-output variant generates 540 horsepower and 521 lb-ft. The Ford F-150's gas-powered offerings - a 5.0-liter V8 (400 hp, 410 lb-ft) and a 3.5-liter turbocharged V6 (400 hp, 500 lb-ft) - aren't as potent.
