I escaped from Gm 4 years ago to a limited ram and never looked back. Both trucks in this review are gorgeous
I love my RAM Limited. I've always had GM trucks and I worked for GM dealers in the past but when I drove a Denali verse my Limited they weren't even close. I've had my 19 Limited for almost 2 years and 30,000 MI and Ford just caught up...
I just got the limited and love it traded my 2020 ford f250 7.3 for it had to many issues with the new 7.3
I love the ram with night edition.
The only truck in this video I can afford is that bronco with the flat tire.
Lol
😂
Lmao!
That is funny
Lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol
platinum is my choice I ride in a 2015 platinum I love, it ram is good my daughter in law had one still f-150 platinum my best choice !!!
Same here love it! Ecoboost
Good comparison. Although I think the HUD and digital rear-view mirror should have given the Ram another point.
I would easily pick the Ford with no hesitation although the RAM interior seems to look more premium.
Ford is better quality, ram is attractive
That of course is subjective but I think the f150 limited is better looking as a whole than the Ram limited are some pieces of the Ram interior I like better? Marginally, yes but on the whole I like look and feel of the Ford limited better. The comparison should have been limited vs. limited
The ford rusts more and the windshield falls out in the ford.
I chose a 2021 ram Longhorn over a f150 King ranch as the ram was put together better and the ford was too plastic and as for comfort the ford doesn't come even close to the ram .
I easily picked the Ram after driving both. The ride and driving dynamics of the Ram is vastly superior. Ram interior is off the charts!
That Ford sounded like a Prius with that baby v6 😂😂
Ram has a kick step option for easier bed access when paired with the multifunction tailgate. Also, the backup camera view can be enlarged to fill the entire 12" screen. Plus the rear view mirror in the Ram has an elevated camera option to see over a loaded bed. Your scoring system missed those these aspects. Maybe it is because the Ford looks to be your daily driver & you're more familiar with it?
how do you enlarge the back up camera
I have a 2019 Ram Limited, I love the new F-150 style ill keep my Ram but love that Ram is forcing other truck manufacturers to up the bar on both functionality and luxury.
Yes sir, props to ram for doing that although i think it had a little bit to do with the popularity of gm 2015-17 high country and denali that prompted ram to do that. But props because the luxury in gm and ford was and still is lacking especially ford with all the trims it has you would have to get either the king ranch or the limited for better quality leather.
@@misael008 Gotta disagree. Ford is the best selling truck for a reason. King Ranch started the luxury truck wars back in the mid 2000s.. Ram wouldn't have a longhorn edition or the Tundra with the 1800 something trim level. Then Ford upped it with the platinum and then the Limited. Bottomline though, the big three all make pretty good trucks and it's boils down to personal preference
@@turp63 Denali was a luxury brand that started in 1999.
Exactly. They're actually tuning the Raptors now because of Ram.
@@markball7028 Hate to burst your bubble but the Denali didn't get the ball rolling
I was in the market for a truck. I don’t do a ton of towing and nothing close to 10,000 lbs for sure. I did however want the truck for common home owners tasks, as well as picking up furniture and other stuff. Most of all I was looking for something a little more luxury. I have to say the Ram has a far superior ride. The air suspension is truly out of control. And I know it may sound silly but I’m getting a large truck. I want the sound of the V8 and the Ram sounds FANTASTIC. It’s not a sports car acceleration etc I think really isn’t a factor. I love the interior of my 2021 Ram Limited and wouldn’t ever look back. I also got the large 22” wheels, the truck just look and rides awesome.
I drove both. I'd take the Ram. I love the looks, comfort and performance.
Excellent comparison review guys as always!!
Thanks! 👍
I have a 2019 Ford Platinum and love it. The Ram does look impressive as well. I think I would end up being a repeat customer.
I love videos like this. I'm a Ford truck guy, 2 of my buddies are Ram truck guys and 1 a Chevy truck guy. When we get together and go out, they always want to ride in the Platinum. Love it!
The limited is the the highest spec . I want a raptor wifey likes this but I asked to wait for the r but more I think about it I'm never going off road so a limited makes more sense .
The test drive actually has me thinking.
I've ridden and driven in all 3. The Ram is my choice by far!
@@charlesmarshall2697 yea it was th opposite for me , after driving the 21 limited it was by far the nicest truck I've ever drove , and I drove them both back to back because someone traded in ram for a limited .
Howdy, excellent comparison as always y’all! I’d definitely pick the Ram, but both are great trucks!😸
i was waiting for this!!!!
You guys give a very impressive and complete review. Thank you.
Thanks! Glad you liked it 😁
Thanks for the video:)
Just wondering why the top of the line F150 Limited wasn't used for the comparison since it is Ford's most luxurious offering
Made the switch from GMC to a 2021 Ram Limited on the 13th of this month and so far I am happy and pleased. I will not be surprised if RAM will be the king of the trucks in 2-3 years.
RAM already “IS” the king of the trucks. Although Ford stepped up his game, they are now firm in second place, not bad. The rest (Chevy, Toyota, Nissan, etc), don’t even come close..
@@anelhenry3795 I agree with you on this. I came from a 2019 GMC Sierra Slt premium plus and I must say gmc is not close with the interior and other special features that the ram offers.
Fiat will never be "king" of trucks. 😄
@@JakeB84936 Yeah okay, you keep believing that.
@@bkkersey93 Haha, okay Dodge or "RAM" as you fan boys that want to separate the trucks from dodge call it, will never be King of trucks they sold out to Chrysler and Chrysler sold out to FIAT "RAM" is a Fiat brand truck not only are there sales pathetic in comparison to ford they miss the whole Truck aspect the can win king minivan all day long that's where comfort matters but a truck is a tool and Dodge trucks will always be crap and will always be DODGE.
Picked up my '21 Ram 1500 Limited EcoDiesel on Friday, waited 3 months for it after ordering. Love it.
6-8 weeks four factory orders my dealership told me u said 3 months wow
@@haileyandcasey4723 I was told 4-6 weeks, i ordered Nov 23rd, got it 12 1/2 weeks later.
Reality is that a factory order is going to arrive when it does because of parts shortages from suppliers. Any salesman that tells you 4 weeks on either truck is setting you up for a disappointment
@@bradarmstrong7467 I’ve seen people get trucks in about 3 weeks. I know it’s possible.
Good luck with that Fiat engine
You guys are great doing these comparisons and this one you just nailed it congratulations for the great job you guys do
Thanks! 😁
Nicely compared this two truck...😊
You guys crystal clear all our doubts and removes confusion from our mind about which is best in the segment.🙏👍🏻👍🏻
Great video but I think you left out one MAJOR benefit for the F150 that I use ALL the time. The Key Pad on the driver's side door. I cant tell you how many times a day I use the pin pad to get into my truck without my keys. I didn't think I would use it that much, but I have found its so convenient and use it all the time.
Dodge Ram. This guy makes one the best auto reviews on TH-cam. Excellent job.
It's actually two guys, they're brothers. And they do a great job reviewing vehicles 💯
Dodge doesn’t make Rams anymore. Ram is its own brand now.
@@0617rockhard you're correct. I have the 2020 Ram. They are basically the same with the 2021. I'm highly impressed buy the Ford Though.
@@GaryCoolCoolCutterWilson I am torn now. Like I love both. The features of the Ford. But the look and engine of the Ram. That hemi will sound good with pipes. But the F150 will look great with a lift kit.
@@0617rockhard Yes. I feel why you're caught in the crossroads between these great trucks.. Im honestly bias cause I own a Ram. What got me was the air ride, the 12 inch screen; yes the Hemi 5.7 liter engine. But this review on the F-150 with the mounted amp outlet providing power on the move. I rather have Ford's tailgate.
Both of these Trucks are amongst the best of Kings of Comforts Trucks.
Great video comparison 👍🏼
Great comparison review. Looks like a lot of work went into it.
Thanks!
Very nice video! Best comparison by far
Thanks!
Nice and fair comparison 👏🏼👏🏼♥️♥️♥️
I’m just getting both
Forget that. You might as well just get a TRX & a 37 special edition Raptor R in 2023 when it’ll probably be available. Go big or go home, right?
ight Mr. Flex 🤣
very exhaustive presentation!!!! 🔝
Ram is a great truck to pull rv trailers.. but for some reason they are not popular on jobsites. Bot are nice trucks no doubt but ford is more reliable / durable..thats why the f150 is number one for 40 years running. Numbers dont lie..
th-cam.com/video/DY3XzTum2ac/w-d-xo.html
When everyone copies one another cuz they see everyone and their mom has a Ford, they think it’s cuz got to be the best but that also doesn’t give the other makers a chance. Ford for years had the most outdated interiors and looks. While ram has been killing it in the interior game and of course winning truck of the year
Mcdonald's sells more burgers than anyone else but that don't make them better !!
@@VictorMartinez-co3ds "Truck of the year" Ya sure. Where are you getting your info? It's probably a Fiat organized award that they give themselves. The real truck of the year should be the one that sells the most, also when you say people buy them cause everyone drives them ford is the most expensive truck brand besides Ford's Lincoln, so why would someone pay more just to have what everyone else has. Look at honda loads of people get them because their cheap and reliable and cause they see everyone else drive them so ya they would get a cheap car that everyone likes.
@@JakeB84936 most expensive truck yes, you compare the xlt to say a Ram and the trim levels didn’t even match up. You pay more for Ford and yet you less inside, but for years all you got was outdated interiors with cheap cloth seats for rye price of something else. The new one is really nice but still more money than the rest will be even with new redesigns soon. You can get new tech but they’ll always have the death wobble lol
We traded our 16 platinum for a 21 platinum, and couldn't be happier. The antimatter blue color is beautiful! But the most impressive thing about this truck to me is the self driving prep package 2.0. we've only put 700 miles on it in the 3 weeks we've owned it and we're getting 19.1 mpg with the 5.0 v8. The cruise control reading and adjusting to posted speeds is pretty sweet too.
5.0 is the way to go!
Love my 2021Ram Limited I prefer my knob.shifter split tailgate sound system sweet air ride went to Florida 22.4 mpg .mirrors great .dual exhaust sound great it will get up and go plenty fast enough. Last hemi 2006 over306k miles .Best ride ever super fun truck to drive.
Just bought my limited 2021 ram night edition., same color as the one in this video. Patriot blue. Its the smoothest truck that I have ever ridden. From 2005 to now I changed 40 cars/trucks. I traded my Toyota Tacoma 2018 for my limited. I loved my taco as for me is the best looking truck exterior wise. Interior was ok too and the feeling was amazing driving anywhere. Reason that I went with the ram limited was for the luxury and space that it has when I wanna go on longer trips with my family. Originally I went to ford dealership to get a f250 limited and I was ready to make the deal, but I said you know what, let me go drive a ram before I make this happen and long story short bought the ram in 30 mins!!! I went with the etorque 5.7 hemi even though I wanted to go for a diesel one. Maybe in two
Years I will trade it for a 2500 cummins ram or f250 ford lol
I'll go for the ram
saame
Ford all day!!!👊👍🇺🇸
The car like ride quality and maneuverability is unmatched in the Ram. I wonder about cost to replace the air suspension components. This is an expensive proposition in Euro brands like Benz and Land Rover. The Ram interior is fantastic also. However, the flexibility of the Ford to do truck things is several steps above. I like the new features, some of which you did not mention, but still resulted in the F150 outpointing the Ram. This is more about taste. I like the Ram on looks and the Ford on function.
The RAM Limited is a proper Executive truck.
They didn’t compare limited to limited. Ford is the executive truck.
Another deciding factor for me is maintenance and reliability..like which one is cheaper to maintain and needs less maintenance and which one is more reliable
excellent comparison !
Thanks!
Great Job you two! For me in today's new world the Ram is one pretty truck (LOVE THE WHEELS) but would have to give the Ford extra 100 points for 7.2 gigawatts of electricity!!! By far the best option since sliced bread:)
Me RAM ALL DAY ..., But the electricity in that ford wow ~ Ram take THAT IDEA and IMPROVE on it !
I’ve got a 2018 XLT and I absolutely love it…And I will tell you this…I test drove a 2021 Ram a few weeks ago…It was amazing, but at the end of the day, the Hemi will cost you more in gas…My F150 sips gas, bigtime.. while the hemi is strong, but you’ll go thru gas like it’s goin out of style…something to consider…
You should really have gotten the ford with the blue interior it looks so good
this video provides a new definition for "side by side comparison" 😂 very well done! thanks for sharing.
This was a horrid comparison. They selected the top of the fully loaded line Ford and then selected a ram that wasn't loaded , then say the ram didt have those things when in fact they do.
Have had both in last 6 years. Ram was good driving but way to many mechanical issues. I drive a lot of miles and Fords have just held up better. Ford for me from now on
Wow love the pickup trucks I would pick the ram 1500 because it is my favorite truck of all time great work on pickup truck comparison.
I just bought a 2021 Ram North edition I love that truck don't get me wrong the Ford is an excellent truck I tested drove both for a week the Ram just had more bang for the buck, this from a lifelong Chevy guy
0.5 for Ride Quality Ram
1 for Shifter Ford
Explains the whole video
Lol the scoring system does confuse me...
That ram sounded great but that f150 is sick. The interior looks amazing plus the shifter can be folded away when not in use. The console can also flip over and you can use your laptop while sitting in the truck. Both are great trucks but the F150 is my choice.
Ram offers a sport mode, which they didn't mention, which changes the gears to 5 speed for a whole lot more performance.
pretty sure the new 2019-current MY don't have a sport mode. At least I don't on my 2020 Limited
Ford without question. I dont know if it was mentioned in the video but Fords keyless entry is worth its weight in Gold. My Dad has a 2018 Ram Limited and has locked his keys in the truck several times. Never an issue for Ford. In fact, I have had 3 Fords over the last 10 years and never took the key out of the ignition. Now I have push button start so cant do that anymore. Cant say enough good about that keyless entry. Now if the Ford could just do the 5 link rear we would be golden! Way to keep everyone on their toes Ram. Truly.
Love my Ram 1500 Night Edition 🌙 Super quiet and a luxury ride. Mine has the Ram Box storage system. 19 speaker Harmon Kardon stereo Is the cars meow. 🚗
Nice driving the truck good job guys.
The RAM is the best of the 2 trucks. It looks more appealing for starters. The air suspension gives a way better ride, and if you tow anything heavy the load leveling air suspension is the only way to go. Something else not mentioned in this video is that the RAM's infotainment system is way more user friendly, than Ford's.
It's a real tough choice! If you need a truck for strictly pickup duties with a splash of luxury, the F-150 is for you. If you're not gonna do much except towing and hauling stuff in the bed and want a luxury cruiser, the RAM 1500 is the one for you.
What are you talking about? both offer work and luxury.
@@willardgentry6624 Very true. However, the RAM has more luxury like more leather in more places (and of a higher grade) as well as real aluminum and wood. Ford is luxurious too but not as much. They still have silver-painted plastics and not as much leather and wood. Work duties can be performed with ease in the Ford which pretty much gives it the crown for your one-thing-does-it-all tool. Whichever way one decides to go, both are excellent choices!
@@ZapFlashD not really my friend. The new Ford Limited has diamond stitched leather seats and real aluminum. Many reviewers have also found the Ford leather to be softer. The Ford seats also massage you. The Ford also has a power tilt telescoping wheel and adjustable mood lighting. The Ford also has lighted door sills lay flat seats and a full digital dash. The Ram doesn't have any of the things I just mentioned. The Ram does have a reclining back seat but the Ford answers that with lay flat front seats. As you can see sir, there is a good bit that the Ford offers over the Ram interior wise. These trucks are very close to each other. Where one has the lead in certain thing the other makes up for it in another.
"a luxury cruiser" i would say the ford b/c of the massage seats & wirless carplay/android auto, hands free driving (with the update) ..fully extendable seats when needing rest. not to mention the tray table for eating when hungry. damn thing is like a freaking house
@@willardgentry6624 The Ram also has lights in the door sill. It doesn't have "Mood lighting " but it does have air suspension and a better ride. Like the first guy was saying most people say the RAM is more upscale and luxurious in ride, materials and layout. I'm not going to try to point out each little things between them like the ram being the only truck with ventilated rear seats and the ford front seats laying flat but there is a reason the Ram won "Luxury CAR of the year." Just like there is a reason ford has stuck with the EB motors and the first guy said it's more for people who work with their trucks... I personally don't use my truck as a truck 95% of the time so the better ride means more to me. I also personally prefer analog gauges for tachometer and speedometer. I hate the analog speedometer surrounded by digital screens in a lot of recent Ford/Lincoln products.
Instead of the Platinum I would get King Ranch. You know it’s kinda just because I take much pride in Texas
Interior color and design pattern is way better too
Gotta buy what I need not what I want 😔
What happen if you add a set of turbos to the hemi?
I prefer the F-150
The F-150 gets my money. Very informative video guys. Thanks
I like the exterior design and interior design on the Ram. The all digital guage cluster doesn't fit it too well
Great video. It made my mind to F150 Platinum. Thanks.
Glad you found the comparison helpful 😁
Nice comparison. Certainly many things are subjective. Ram all the way for me. The interior difference is very very apparent. Ram wins on ride quality all day long with the air suspension. I also think the Ram is a better looking truck. MPG comparison is a bit off with the full hybrid vs etorque. Diesel is the way to go! Again, Ram is the winner for me.
Lol. If it was a diesel it would have better fuel economy. Lets compare it to a festiva then. but ram got a point for sound lol. Thought we were comparing luxury vehicles. You want them quiet not louder. Ford didnt even get points for acceleration or torque. Or towing. Lock down winner f150
F 150 is a way better choice in every area!!
Thank you for the information provided
I already know for sure that I did the right thing and ordered Ram 1500 limited to Poland. He's on his way. I can not wait
@@Cptblogh Everyone has the right to their opinion. You too
And my friends do not complain and are happy with this pickap
i just bought the 21 Ram limited , delivery september this year
I don’t like the vertical screen on the Ram but love it 😂
me too !!!
Right its beautiful but I dont like the ac controls n stuff being on the screen. Call me old fashioned haha. When I drove one the gear shift through me off too. I really felt like I would turn it to reverse or something trying to adjust the volume
you can get limited LONGHORN which has an optional 8.4 inch screen
THANKS GUYS NICE JOB ! Of COURSE RAM FOR ME !
I am glad that Ford stepped up their game. But in my opinion I would rather have a vehicle that will last longer than one that has an over the top interior. I have had multiple F150s and they have all gone 200,000+ Miles with close to no problems. My current F150 is at 170,000 with the only problem being I had to get a new battery.
I just ordered the new king ranch with the powerboost. Cant wait to get it. Both trucks are really nice. But the F150 just looks meaner. I love the built in tool holders on the ram. It would be awesome if Ford had that. But you can’t have everything. The generator is definitely going to come in handy for me. The exterior of that ram looks cheaper to me. Plus the whole reason of having a truck is the tailgate. At least for me. Concerts and sporting events nothing is better. If you’re hauling plywood or something , it lays flat and is easy to drive with. I’d imagine the swinging doors to be a big problem and not very practical.
It folds down like a regular tailgate as well, and they didn’t do a good job showing it.
Once you drive a RAM you can’t go back to a Ford. RAM drive experience is way superior.
Way superior is an overstatement for sure. The ride is better but not that much. I do love the look of the Ram. Congrats on yours.
There are many different ways you can categorize “drive experience”. Do you mean smoothness by drive experience? Because Ford usually pushes their engines for more torque or whp than other known truck makers. But yes, I have heard that the RAMs have better suspensions on them thanks to the air bladders they put on all 4 points. It also helps to stabilize whatever you’re towing if you’ve got a load.
I absolutely hate the way the new fords ride. It’s so jerky/stop and go. Definitely has to do with that weight saving aluminum body crap, but that ruined the ride for me
Ford feels like it’s all over the road and clunky and ram feels like driving a car way better and super smooth
Naw I drove the Ram I wasn't impressed that why I brought the 2021 F-150 limited with the powerboost
Hey 👋 fellas another good comparison 👏 video. I am a fan of the RAM 1500 but after this video I am looking at the FORD F150 differently now. It's a hard choice for me to pick one both have features I would want. I would have to see them both in person to make a final decision. Thank you for bringing this comparison to us.
Thanks and glad you enjoyed the video!
@@CarConfections Hey 👋 you are welcome 😊
It was over when he you power your HOUSE!!
The limited , I'm kinda looking at one the platinum is nice but the limited is crazy and hands down the best luxury truck, I was waiting on the Raptor R.
I think on the exterior views, or at the end when you talked about the Rams air ride features being able to lower the vehicle for easier entrance, that is one of the most important features of the trucks. Fords auto extending step, is the lowest option of all the trucks made. You didn’t even mention this, and it’s probably one of the most important features of any luxury truck line. Take a look at who is driving these trucks, it’s not 35 year old guys it’s old guys! So ride quality is up there in importance, as is cabin quietness. Also what sabot the “hard button features”? The ability to operate things away from the touch screen is important. Things like turning on the seats, cool/heat, or independent radio controls, etc. What about the cameras that let you watch your load in the bed? I’m sure they both have those, and finally do the decibel check at 75 mph, on the highway, the people that buy the trucks use them a lot for traveling at highway speeds. Also decibel check when pulling a 5000 lb camper. When the motors/transmissions are working is when you really get an understanding for how they are built. And let’s use the new trailer hookup features /cameras and give a demo.
Over all I love this video and the Ram manufacturers should know that I wouldn’t have considered driving on before I watched your video, so good job. I want to experience the ride quality you described! I will be purchasing one of these or the Denali Ultimate very soon, so I’m watching all these before I actually drive the. Well done!
What did you get?
You really know your trucks. Respect.
My personal choice is the Ram. Ford has had ongoing issues for several years now by rushing new technology to the market and letting owners be quality control. There are tons of Ford technicians putting out videos about systems that have major design flaws. Ram has its issues as well, but they are playing the long game by using reliable existing components at its core.
Crazy since the Dodge Ram 1500 scored 11 out of 100 on ConsumerReports reliability. The F150 is miles better in reliability than a Fiat built truck.
That’s funny because most RAM dealership workers and mechanics I know say they are pieces of junk and have the worst reliability of any vehicle out there.
@@The-fs5wn They're both junk. But the F150 does outshine the RAM in overall dependability. Although the F150 has numerous issues with their most popular motors: 3.5 EcoBoost and 5.0 Coyote.
Timing chains, cam phasers, waste gates for the 3.5, oil burning on 5.0, cylinder deformation on the 5.0... no thanks. Big money for big junk
@@hkhanpour They retuned and reinforced those engines in 2020. The problems you are thinking of are with older versions.
@@The-fs5wn - A couple techs already posted vids on TH-cam on a TSB on the 21' F150 with the same cam phaser issue.
Other than switching to electric power steering and picking up 5hp and 3lb ft the HEMI has basically remained unchanged for 13 years. I wish they would give it an upgrade already
That engine has plenty of power.
I choose the f-150 and bought mine today I love it 😍
70K plus? Keep your "Luxury Crown". I need a truck.
yea. i'd take ram 1500, but not limited. i'll go laramie
Point to the Ram for not rusting after LITERALLY 2K MILES
Had a 2015 F-150 for 3 years, no rust at all
That truck does in fact have the UConnect 5 and has Android auto and Apple carplay. They've had it since 2018 which means you get it on the UConnect 4 as well...
Is it wireless though. That's what is new with Sync 4. Prior to that you had to connect with a wire to get Android Auto and Carplay
My 2021 Ram 1500 Longhorn. Has a kick down step, for the rear tail gate. Its right under the rear bumper.
I Hope One day I'll be able to upgrade from my Lariat to a Platinum or Limited 😍
Why? If you have cash to burn. Lariat has everything one needs plus in a Truck.
It’s amazing all the uninformed comments that are out there. First, the comparison should have been with an f150 limited, the interior is nicer. (The platinum is nice but the limited is better) second, I have 3300 miles on my limited f150 hybrid so when I speak of the F150 I know from experience. 24mpg combined. Ram ? Nope. Not close. Hp and torque, Ram not close. Load carrying capacity Ford is almost double. Interior? Subjective. Personally I love the F150 interior but the Ram is very nice as well. Suspension? Rams air suspension gives a small advantage on ride but a very small one (I have driven both) the Ford is very comfortable as well, and the seats them selves are much more comfy in the Ford. Plus every vehicle that has had air ride has had very expensive repairs and failed, why? Simple, heat and sun and road salt are not kind to rubber hoses and air bladders under the vehicle. Other than air ride, what features does Ram have that Ford doesent ? I can’t think of any. Features that Ford has that Ram doesent. Many. Massaging seats, better suite of safety features with lane keeping, blind spot warning, even when pulling a trailer giving you warning when someone is next to that. Adaptive cruise, even an update later this year for autonomous driving which is amazing on long highway runs. Fold flat center console giving you a desk to work with, lay flat seats making rest stop breaks more comfortable, lockable storage under rear seat (offsetting Ram box) but it folds flat for flat floor storage in back as well. Over the air updates, l a 7.2kw built in generator. That’s a game changer. Power goes out, plug into your electric box and run your house! Step built in the tailgate much better for an old fart like me than rams split gate. Better/stronger frame. Historically better reliability than Dodge/Ram (if you don’t agree with this your lying to yourself) Honestly I can’t think of one reason to pick the Ram other than subjective “I just like it better” or “ I am a Ram guy” and those may both be valid reasons for you. I am not Saying the Ram is garbage or doesent look good, it does look good but IMHO Ram has to show a better history of reliability long term (at least 5 years of reliability) for me to seriously consider it. That along with the fact that everyone including Ford has had trouble with long term reliability of air suspensions (and when they go, I hope you have deep pockets!)
Exactly Brad! Ram fan boys have been so spoiled by car publications the last few years they think the Ram spits out gold flakes! It's ridiculous
😂😂😂😂
I would stick with the Ford although the Ram is nice and possibly could be an option in the future but the F150 has been #1 for over 50 years and they seem to have less gremlins/ Problems
over time but both are super nice and to me the price has to be right
Both trucks are great
Both are kinda dreams for me 😥
BTW.........Nice Review Brother♥️
Thanks!
Which sound system was better? Clarity, loudness, highs, lows, bass etc
I've tested drove both and was severely disappointed in the Ford BO Unleashed. I just listened to standard serious radio on both and the Ram was light years better. The unleashed sounded flat and like all the sound was coming from the center speaker on the dash. The HK in the Ram knocked my socks off.
Just bought a 21 ram limited. Msrp was 71000, paid 63000. Hard to argue with those numbers.
Congrats Cowboy!
Both are beautiful trucks but I would go with the Ram longhorn edition and the king ranch the two tones and interior of those trucks are king! In my opinion.
I’m a Ford fan and as usual I would still go with the f150 but the ram is still an excellent truck
Comparing Ram to Ford is like comparing Honda to Toyota, or like Samsung to Apple. Can’t go wrong with either one
@@ATH-camChannelwithNoName so true
Meanwhile gm is the equivalent to Nissan, once a serious contender but now has lost its way
@@joskjj3625 Corvette, Hummer EV, Full-Size SUV’s, Bolt, Buick, Cadillac Lyriq, CT4-V and CT5-V Blackwing?
@@justinsmith2598 trucks what about the trucks? The Silverado and sierra are absolutely disappointing compared to the ram and Ford
Yes I do have to agree the Chevy corvette and Cadillac sedans are excellent vehicles no arguing that, but other than those vehicles gm is just not that good anymore
@@joskjj3625 In 2022, the GM trucks will get a new interior that’ll look very similar to the Tahoe & Yukon, some changes to the exterior, and they’ll also offer GM’s Super Cruise (Hands free driving) and the Silverado will offer the MultiFlex (MultiPro) tailgate, which the GMC Sierra currently offers. Chevrolet is also coming out with a Raptor & TRX competitor called the ZR2, which is what you’ve been asking for.
I like both ram should've kept the shifter like Ford
Just saying, you’re not going to hear that electro music in one of these trucks. Eagle live from the coliseum is badass
maybe just me...hard working landscaper that likes EDM...
I’m a techno producer, and I’m buying a new truck soon...so maybe a few more electro trucks than you think
@@jdstarek ma man😎👍
Yeah you have no idea what you’re talking bout my guy. I listen to deep house and trance all the time!!!! Everyday in fact lol.
you do know that the platinum pipes in the big v8 sound threw the sound system. that’s why the ford sounds bad ass from inside the cab! I love my 2018 platinum and y’all should compare the ford limited with the ram limited. lol platinum is a step lower than limited and to get a truck more luxurious than the limited you have get it in the ford Lincoln. thanks for making this kick ass video
There are class action lawsuits being launched for the Ram air suspension which starts crapping out after 2years in the winter. Not sure I'd give it a point for that?
Both trucks are awesome, the F-150 is the work truck, and the Ram is the luxury truck. The GM Trucks currently offer the Multifunction tailgate, once the GM Trucks get an updated interior and Super Cruise, they’ll definitely be on par with Ford & Ram. I would be worried if I were Stellantis when it comes to EV trucks, Ford & GM will launch their EV trucks before 2025, and Stellantis told us months ago that they’re just now working on an electric Ram, they’re definitely behind with EV trucks. Great review!
Only electric GM is releasing is the $112k Hummer. And looking at the range on the new Mustang Mach-E(230miles), I wouldn't hold out too much on a huge splash with a Ford electric truck. That said, I agree, Ram will be the last, but likely better.
@HellKitty 101 GM will launch the Chevy EV truck in 2023 and the Sierra in 2024 or 2025. It doesn’t really matter to me that Ram will be last, but they should at least launch an EV truck before 2025.
Electric trucks, shit’s a joke. If any brand decided to keep all V8s, they’ll retain repeat customers for 50 more years. Everyone who refuses to build the electric junk will jump brands.
Battery technology isn’t even close to competitive with gas.
Batteries (tons of emissions to use limited lifespan, and cold weather range decrease)
Time charging on any road trip
Not to mention a majority of US power is generated by burning coal. Seems like extra steps and if not the same or more climate downsides.
I will never sit in a parking lot waiting needlessly for my overpriced paperweight to charge for an hour so I can get an extra hundred mile of range.
Reliability, definitely a Ford. Looks, I'd go with either one. All the company trucks are Ford, from XL to a limited and none disappoint. My personal truck is also a Ford and have never had issues with it. Would definitely buy Ford again.
FORD is going to step up its game in that interior
I've had the Ram before and then traded it for the F-150 since am more fan of Ford trucks. However, in my honest experience, I kind of miss the drivetrain of my Ram, along with the interior specifications and luxury. Both are excellent trucks, but I think my love goes to Ram, and now I'm having a hard time thinking of trading my F-150 for another Ram.
Ford the King#1
Ram won my heart I was a gmc ..buuuttttttt the interior is beautiful in ram the longhorn edition ….the information screen in ram and the dial park reverse button
Recall and breakdown shop time. Know a few Dodge owners who vehicles set for weeks due to wiring trouble and Ford owners that got one with oil problems. A dozen GMC truck owners had them sit for MONTHS at the dealer waiting on a hose from Mexico.
Still love my Ram!!
Great comparison review guys!!
Y’all are doing it right! Keep up the good work! Go Vols! 🤣
Thanks!
