The new Ford F-150 is still the most popular full-size pickup in America, and for good reason. This legendary truck outclasses rivals like the Ram 1500 and the Chevy Silverado 1500 in the areas that matter most, from capability to technology to performance. To see why the F-150 reigns supreme, let's take a closer look at how it stacks up to the competition.
Best-In-Class Capabilities
First, the F-150 boasts best-in-class towing and payload ratings, able to tow up to 13,500 pounds and haul up to 2,445 pounds when properly equipped. That bests both the Ram 1500's max tow rating of 11,560 pounds and the Silverado 1500's max tow rating of 13,300 pounds. Whether you need to tow a hefty trailer or load up the bed with heavy cargo around Lockport, NY, the rugged F-150 is up to the challenge.
Powerful Engines for a Variety of Needs
The F-150 offers the widest range of potent yet efficient engine options in the segment. From the base 325-horsepower V6 to the muscular 400-horsepower V8 to the supercharged 720-horsepower V8 in the F-150 Raptor R, there's an F-150 powertrain for every need. An available 430-horsepower hybrid V6 delivers an EPA-estimated 22 mpg in the city. You won't find that kind of variety in the Ram or Chevy engine lineups.
Roomy, Tech-Rich Cab
Inside, the F-150 can be outfitted with an array of luxurious and high-tech features to rival a premium sedan. The standard 12-inch touchscreen with SYNC® 4 and digital instrument cluster and the optional Interior Work Surface, Max Recline front seats, and 18-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system are just some of the upscale amenities that set the F-150 apart. Ford trucks have truly gone high-tech. The Ram 1500 and Chevy Silverado 1500 both have smaller standard infotainment touchscreens.
Impressive Off-Road Chops
For traversing the trails, the F-150 once again outperforms the Ram 1500 and Chevy Silverado 1500 with its dedicated off-road models. The F-150 Tremor comes standard with enhanced off-road-tuned suspension, 33-inch all-terrain tires, a locking rear differential, and a special Rock Crawl drive mode. For the ultimate off-road experience, the high-performance F-150 Raptor R boasts a 720-horsepower V8 engine, FOX Racing Shox™, and massive 37-inch all-terrain tires. The Ram Rebel and Chevy Silverado Trail Boss simply can't match the Tremor and Raptor's off-road prowess.
