  • The Ford F-250 Super Duty and Ram 2500 are two powerful heavy-duty trucks that are popular choices for heavy-duty work (or play). But which of these heavy-duty pickups is the right choice for you? In this video, Desola Balogun from Edmunds compares the 2021 Ford F-250 Super Duty and the 2021 Ram 2500 to help you answer this question. Both of these heavy-duty trucks are tough and strong, but what sets them apart from each other and which one will do the work you need best? Desola offers up the pros and cons of each pickup, talks about the towing capacities, compares cargo and storage areas, and details how each one drives. Desola determines a clear winner, but you'll have to watch to find out if he chooses the used Ram or the used Ford truck. This is our heavy-duty comparison test of the Ford F-250 vs. Ram 2500.

    I'm a Ford truck guy but I'm open minded and willing to look at the Ram. I truly believe that now days there really isn't a bad truck made even the G.M. models that weren't in the comparison test. For me my next one will come down to the price and finance rates.

    In December 2021 I bought the 2022 RAM 2500 4x4 Laramie with the Hemi engine. It is my daily driver which occasionally pulls a single-axle utility trailer for personal use. It is quiet and comfortable.

    I have owned both and can’t tell you how much better the ram rides and cabin is. The ford is quicker but if you tow the mpg savings in ram is very noticeable. Also the trailer brake is much better in ram. Either one is a great vehicle but go drive both and you may be surprised.

      It came time to replace my 2011 Ram 2500 diesel about 2 years ago (body and frame rust from salt). I wanted to like the Ram, but the adaptive steering that they put on higher trim levels doesn't feel right. Once I optioned a 3500 DRW with the high output Cummins it ended up being about $8k more than the F450 of a comparable trim. Ram will deal more than Ford and I have been waiting for the F450 for 18 months (ordered a 2022 and now waiting on a 2024), so I'm not loving Ford as a company right now.

    Ram is the winner, I believe they offer more on fully loaded Laramie's limited then Ford platinums, 2500 v 250 with all the added perks for towing, and luxury, what do you think 🤔

    • @rich7447
      @rich7447 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Once you get up to Laramie Limited or Platinum (Limited is Ford's top trim), they are all very luxurious. Ram lost it for me with their adaptive steering and their refusal to build a dually with a wide track front axle.

    RAM RAM RAM! We have both of these at my company and everyone fights over who gets to use the Ram lol. Nobody ever fights to use the ford lol. And its not about comfort its about everything else. When there’s 3-5 ft of snow here and the roads are icy the fords stay back at the shop and everyone piles into the Ram. Yeah they are that much better. Oh and that step to get into the bed of the ford? If you need that you shouldn’t be getting up there and besides the one on our ford broke the first time it was used lol

    A high seating position a deal breaker on an HD truck? Who that cares about having a low seating position is looking for an HD truck?
    Ram's adaptive steering on their HD takes them out of contention for me. It's a truck and the steering should have some weight to it.
