RAm is my choice
Me too
Imagine how nice it would be if one of them were to take the exterior looks, interior quality, engine performance, reliability and mpg and put all of these strengths into one new generation model year.
As a previous owner of a 2011 F-150 3.5L V6 Gen 1 Ecoboost and a current owner of a 2020 RAM 1500 V8 5.7L eTorque, the Ford fuel economy numbers are inflated. With gentle gas pedal application, I can get close to the claimed RAM gas mileage but did not get close to the claimed Ford gas mileage. With the Ford power output it's either Eco or Boost, like and on off switch. The RAM on the other hand has buttery smooth power transition from a dead stop to speeding ticket speeds. Plus the Hemi V8 rumble and roar which is addictive. Advantage RAM in my opinion.
To me, gas mileage and reliability are EVERYTHING. I haven’t bought a truck in years and I have no idea what to pick between these 3
All 3 trucks are pretty impressive..I love ford trucks'💞 but I have been driving a Chevy for 10 years😏. Competition means better products for your investment! The clear winner is the ones that can afford these new rigs!!🤷♂️
Great comment!
Apparently gm didnt get the memo. The base interior looks identical to the denali interior
@@locogtr6475 not for long
This is an actually somewhat fair comparison between trims, nice i like that 👍👍👍👍
Ram. They're all nice, but Ram's interior is just on another level.
The mild hybrid eTorque on my RAM 1500 5.7L Hemi adds bottom end torque (but doesn't change peak torque figure), makes shifting seamless by matching engine and transmission rpm, smooths stop start, replaces and thus saves wear on the 12V starter during stop start (12V starter only used during cold start up), replaces the alternator to charge the 12V battery, keeps the V8 in 4 cylinder mode longer for improved efficiency, and slightly improves fuel economy with "free" regenerative energy from both braking and downshifting. Love my RAM. Highly recommended! Down side is two battery systems, a 48V eTorque system on top of a legacy 12V system for added complexity. If either or both systems fail, you could be stranded, although I am fairly confident that warning lights would allow you to limp to the dealership before total failure. The good thing is that the eTorque motor is a very accessible engine external bolt-on device with an external belt that looks like it could be swapped out in 30 minutes. The 12V battery is easily accessible in the engine bay and the 48V battery is tucked away behind the rear driver's side seat back. Overall a great application of mild hybrid technology.
Great job Ben....as always! You do absolutely amazing truck videos!👍 I've gone back at least a year and a 1/2 on your ram videos and they've been phenomenal no one else compares. But I think 🤔 I may have to consider the Ford, but love the Ram
Silver big horn eithbnigjt edition grew on me big time. One color I may purchase next over white trucks which I've always had. Always add tow hooks through dodge too
Personally, one of the big reasons I like the Chevy is that you can get the Trail Boss package on all the trucks from the Custom all the way up to the LTZ. So, you can get the lift and nice wheel/tire combo on ANY level truck. That makes even a base Chevy into a great looking, and very capable truck. Most guys buy a truck, then spend 6 thousand for a lift and bigger tires. Chevy does the work for you, and it looks great. You can pick up a Custom Trail Boss pretty cheap.
Lol 6 grand for a lift and tires? They clearly aren’t shopping around.
@@matthewm3912 That's because you use a few blocks of wood and tractor tires. Do it right next time. 😄
What a great comparison Ben! I would be tickled pink with anyone of these.... I would just be a little pinker with the RAM.....😊👍🎉
I tested all three and ended up with the Silverado RST. Same model you have on here, just with cloth seats instead of vinyl. I was open to all three, but ultimately just felt most comfortable in the Chevy.
Word to the wise. The chip shortage is a serious problem. All dealers I went to have a $5000.00 mark up due to inventory shortages. I still paid under MSRP, but not much under. Considering the time we're in, I think I got a great deal.
Does anyone use "vinyl" anymore? I am sure it was leather.
I will love to see the 5.0 compared with the other 2 V8s power wise
If Ram were to up the horse power it would be very interesting against the Ford. GM has the 6.2 and 10 speed but GM keeps giving the 5.3 the 8 speed in most of its trim levels. If the Ford comes back with some of its black out packages that will be big for them. The fact that you get the top motor in every trim from Ford is huge.
Why doesn't Ram put the 392 hemi in the truck? Hopefully they will since the jeep wrangler is getting it.
Nice reviews Ben! I been watching your channel for a while, and I just went out and ordered the same F150 thats in this video, I added the B&O, moonroof, and tonneau cover, it gets built Jan 18th , the only thing that kind of stinks is you would think for a 55k truck ford would give you the fold down armrest in the backseat
Awesome!, Congrats!, I bought a black full load 2021 f150 XLT as well!, gorgeous trucks!😎👍
Or a universal garage door opener those 2 things are stopping me from buying it
@ Ben Hardy, if you have driven all three, which would be your preference and why?
I think all three look really good. I’m in the market for a truck and truly can’t decide! Drove a Ram and loved it. Haven’t tried a Chevy out but did drive a 2020 F150 XLT and the features I wanted just weren’t there but Ford added them all on the 21.
so what did you buy ?
@@darkketchup8883 None, he just likes test driving them.
Ford actually has power up tailgate too.. have to lift it up half way or use the keyfob
Bedliners should be standard on trucks at this point
Nothing wrong with super simple and low tech interior of the Chevy that some prefer. Something definately wrong thinking you can charge as much money as the Ram and Ford though. They need to knock that truck price down a few thousand if you're not going for the premium interior crowd. Price needs to reflect what you get and they are not on par with the other two by a long shot.
Agree!
I just got a ram 1500 Big Horn/lone star, w/sport package. I opted for the quad cab, because I already have a Chevy Silverado 2500 Duramax diesel with a long box and a crew cab that’s pretty long and I often find myself wishing I had a shorter truck. But driving it for two months now I found that there’s not as much space back there as I thought there would be. The camera technology is nowhere near as good as my 21 Silverado, but in Rams defense my Silverado is an LTZ with all options, and with a price tag of upwards of 90,000 it should have all those options as well. I got the ram for almost 10,000 under MSRP out of Ohio, I’ve got over 6000 miles on it in less than two months and I’ve had no problems at all. Well I take it back I had a problem with the Uconnect system the sound from my CarPlay was changing volume on its own so I had to unhook the battery for 10 minutes when I hooked it back up the computer reprogrammed for a basic truck and nothing worked, it didn’t even know I had serious exam. For about a day and a half and then it finally picked up a signal and re-programmed it so all the things worked again. The other thing that I don’t like about the ram is the fact it doesn’t have a bedliner, or a sprayed in liner. I bought bed liner spray, but after trying it out on a small piece of metal in the shop it dries completely smooth and I want something with a little grit in it. Otherwise the quad cab is faster than the other models I average about 14.6 miles per gallon, I think the best I’ve ever seen was an average of 16.5, and that’s when I had a state trooper in front of me for a very long stretch of interstate . Otherwise with your foot in the carb or intake manifold in this case it definitely sucks the gas. So I’m glad I opted for the 5 gallon additional tank size. I do love the Silverado‘s but since ram was rated truck of the year now for three years and I got it for an incredible deal , well I thought I did but turns out I’m finding lots of Rams for the same price I got mine about I’m different lots here in Wisconsin. It’s just all these trucks hold their value so well that all the Silverado‘s I was finding they wanted 46,004 and wouldn’t budge on the price for more and they were a year old and I had over 20,000 miles on them , lacking the warranty I would get. So that also helped me go with the ram. The ram has 100,000 mile, or 5 year warranty, A three-year free maintenance package, if I want to drive it to Ohio every time I want an oil change. Lol but I do love the sound of the hemi V8. The Silverado diesel I have just sucks too much gas or diesel rather, to the tune of about $500 a week. But I do have a 40 foot fifth wheel camper, and some larger flatbed car haulers equipment haulers. And you can’t beat the 36,000 pound twin capacity of a Duramax diesel, and having all the options like leather and all the preferred packages makes it just a nice talk to drive around in as well. I’ve always been a savvy guy, and since these trucks do holder value so well maybe I can trade it in before it hits 50,000 miles and get a brand new Chevy to try it out and see if it’s just as good as the ram. I bet you it will at least come with a bedliner lol
Extremely well done! Thank you for the quick yet very informative video!
And this Ram is there work truck.the limited is on a whole different level
Ford has my vote, Chevy is in last place
definitely the opposite for me
@@AtomicMushroomz You're just one of those Ford haters for no reason 😂
@@robertcarroll2840 He's probably just a chevy fan.
Ram last place
Ram is always last
That big horn looking pretty good over there 👌
Is it possible to make the grille exterior black as in night edition?
The big horn is damn near a Laramie/Limited model minus a few add ons. They all look great!
I went with towing and looks
I picked the ram 1500 2022 big horn fully loaded, the thing is an awesome beast.
It’s beautiful simple straight lines are pleasing to my eyes, I don’t like all that crazy lines around lights etc.
The front the Dodge is very clean looking I got a crew cab in the night edition granite metallic V 8 e-torque loaded with everything except the sunroof. I’m still waiting for it to be built, I can’t wait. Feel like a little kid again waiting for xmas morning
Just got my wife her night edition big horn here in Hawaii she is in love with it one great truck for sure
Heck yeah first comment about to get ready to leave for work after I watch this video
should have used the Laramie package for the Ram
That's funny, Payload on my Ram 1500 night edition is 1930lb according to Ram's website and for that same model in this video and 8550lb towing
I have a 2019 Ram and have no complaints. the Ford is solid im sure, but some of the interior stuff i hate like the weird window lines on the door, that shifter is gross, and i couldn't listen to that annoying chime every time i got in the truck, also would rather have the 5.0....My picks would go RAM, Chevy, Ford... and for Chevy the RST is the only trim I would buy.
Id pick the rst between the ford
The big 3 all make a good truck.I own a Ram
I'm picking between either the ram or ford in the next couple months depending on lease prices. Ford has the nicest tech but ram has the more functional interior. Ram also looks newer due to the more updated styling.
Just picked up my 2022 Ram 1500 night edition and couldn’t be happier, sticker was $58500.. I was back and forth between Ram and Ford for my last 3 trucks and I went with Ram every time. Good luck!
We sell all three! All are great trucks, but we do sell double the Fords t the Ram or Chevy.
The Fords are cheapest for a reason. See my comment earlier.
I like the ford f150 truck
The chevy's interior is clean, simple and functional. I don't know why people want overly-designed interiors now a days
Exactly. It’s the best one in my opinion.
Charge less $$
All of them are clean and simple. Chevy just falls very short in tech trying to cut costs. They need to wake up
Maybe because they can? Seems pretty simple to me.
Personal alot think it's dated. And by far ugly. The world's changing and Chevy's still stuck in 1990 with Thier interiors.
Ram!
I think the Ford power was said wrong lol. The towing capacity also I feel is wrong. I have a 2020 f150 that’s a step down from the XLT and has 11200lb towing. Granted it has the towing package with the transmission cooler.
In 2021, ford changed the tow package line up. For the 2021s the 5.0 v8 gets the max tow package option. In the 2018-2020 it was an option for both the 5.0 and 3.5. The other difference is that for 2021, ford increased the power output on the 3.5 and 5.0 engines.
F150 hands down.
They were the first with aluminum design... that Chevy and Dodge made fun of. They thought of all the other great designs first.... others copy them. Plus best resale value. I bought my 4th F150 3 months ago and love it. Xlt sport with pretty much every bell and whistle. Was going to wait for the Lightning... but it was great deal that I couldn't pass up.
I’m looking at a ram for my next purchase
What good are these comparisons if you cant buy one?
The Ram wins imo
Ram had did a good job with styling and reliability they had something to prove and did it. Very handsome truck I think we’ll worth the money even the longhorn and limited trims vs GMC , ford and Chevy top trim ram is killing it 🍾🍾🍾
Ben while i really enjoy all the comparison videos and all the attention you are rightfully giving the F150, there is really no comparison. F150 will outperform each of these trucks in all aspects. And according to my experiences with all three makes, Ford Motor Company and dealers has definitely provided the best sales experience, and customer service after the sale.
But i get it, you can’t be totally biased. Lol
The F150 also outperforms the others in racking up the most repair bills. Well, second to Ram at least.
@@andybub45 Im not quite sure about that. I am looking to buy a new truck and doing a lot of research and the Chevys are having huge problems. I was leaning towards the Chevy but not sure, the Fords are starting to wear on me. Im not a Ram guy or should I say Fiat guy, but they do have nice interiors. Still up in the air (really between a Trail Boss and an F150) and of course what I may be able to find since there arent any trucks out there right now......
If the rst had the 6.2 i would definitely choose it got a lotta horsepower from a v8 would be fun to drive, maybe even do a couple of burnouts and donuts.
Otherwise i would get a Ford with 5.0 or 3.5 cause its the most capable of the 3, better payload and towing ratings means its a better work truck
No gmc Serria?
I currently own a v6 Tacoma but I’m looking to trade it for a bigger full size truck with more power, still not sure which one of this 3 to get but the RAM definitely catches my attention
Tundra
Tundra
For 56k id expect chevy to at least have a auto-dimming rearview mirror
I don't know how they dare to charge that price with that subpar interior and features
Chevy interior looks like it’s from 08
Ram truck have come a long way with their styling.
Love my Ram Laramie!
Still go with RAM
I’d pick the ford
Would your choice change if they were diesels?
That would be hard if they all had the little 3.0 diesels
As a Ram owner I am pretty happy with mine. Stick with what works for you.
Ram all the way
Chevy and ram look good
Chevy looks awful. Their design team has shit the bed the last 2 models...
U can sure tell ford had a Ram too look at when they made there new interior,it's nice but it's no Ram
Isn't that low on the towing scale for the f150 with the 3.5 ecoboost?
No with a V6. If your going to be towing anything with some weight, best to go with a V8.
@@johnbaker2966 Simply not true at all. Fords highest rate trucks are rated with the 3.5 v6. Its a twin turbo setup that blows the v8 away in just about every category. If you know anything about the new fords then you know the twin turbo v6 is their towing monster because of the torque it puts out.
Ram has my vote!!
Ram all day!! But the Ford would be more comfortable for my wife giving me road head! Trick shifter 😆
Pass her over bruh. Let us get a turn.
@@bettercallsaul8065 Find you one there’s plenty out there
@@aronzabrown :(
Ram por calidad y precio pero silverado se ve muy padre
3.5 twin turbo Ecco boost. Is a beast!
It’s shit lmao
Can someone explain to me why someone would prefer a v8 in the Ford? It already has top power and fuel economy, but idk much about trucks so I’m curious! Thanks!
Less moving parts in a V8 vs the TT V6
Sound, workability maintenance wise (more simple design), reliability. I really do love a deep growl on a truck. I wouldn’t consider a truck without it. It’s just something that makes me smile when I hear it.
If the v8 has the auto stop start and cylinder deactivation disabled i would hands down get the v8, last year of the 5.0 v8 reliability was 2017, it has cast iron sleeves, port fuel injection, 2018 was the year were the problems came
@@BenHardyCars so I will say even with my lack of knowledge regarding the topic, In reference to reliability, I've heard great things about the V6, and not so great things about the V8.
@@keredkered22 Take you pick, oil consumption problems on the v8 from the factory or possible timing chain problems from the V6. Those are the biggest issues with both of the engines. Personally I'm taking the v6 because its not a hard job to fix the timing chain if it does wear out where as your tearing an entire engine apart if its burning oil.
The Ram has a full tank of gas, first time I have ever seen that on a vehicle on a dealer lot
Lol
Im starting to like rams more than chevys
As you should
Anyone with eyes and a brain would like RAM more than Chevy or Ford...IMO....😊

I'm a bit of a ford fan boy but if I had to change ram wouldn't even be a option
Does the Chevy have leather or vinyl? I didn’t realize they offered a vinyl package.
Vinyl in the rst
@@BenHardyCars pretty sure that’s leather. I have leather in my trail boss and a review you did on it you recently called it vinyl also
Leather
@@BenHardyCars That’s leather dude. Vinyl is only available on the Work truck
The Silverado looks the best on the outside. RAM has the best interior hands down and that’s whats selling buyers. Ford has the best of both worlds but just too damn high.
You like the look of the Chevy?! I think it’s uglier than sin. Their old models looked good, these ones look like garbage.
@@HDCanadianTrainVideos I was like that at first but now they look good to me. What’s ugly is those 2500s
Good thing there is a map of downtown Detroit in the Ford. If you ever find yourself in downtown Detroit, it's good to know your escape routes!
For real though.....
And a way to find the closest dealership to get the sucker repaired!

Why doesn’t the ram come with a brake controller? Buyer beware, there selling rams with tow package but no brake controller🤷♂️

Lincoln # 1
The RAM brand won MotorTrend's Truck of the Year for three years in a row and also luxury car of the year from another web site. Also, the RAM 1500 was awarded Green Truck of the Year for 2019 and 2020. The F-150 is Green Truck of the Year for 2021.
An I do think that 3 yr in a row is because they had a fresh remodel....
My crystal ball says the 2022 truck of the year is going to have a blue oval in the front grill.
FYI truck of the year means shit. They literally did it this year and didn’t include the newest truck on the market
@@Matts000 in the face of likely new model Ford recalls, that would be a bold move. This year Lincoln landed at the very bottom of reliability rating. Loaded with luxury electrical gizmos, just like the new F-150
@@Matts000 On one hand you have the 2021 F-150 with flat folding shift lever and flat folding front seats and ability to power a refrigerator from the bed. So you can take a nap while chilling your beer. Sarcastic "Wow!" On the otherhand you have the 2021 RAM TRX that eats Ford Raptors for breakfast. The MotorTrend's three-peat has never previously occured with any car or truck. It would be great for another brand to break the RAM dominance. Competition breeds advancements. Bring it on!
The Rams are awesome but I'm not sure why they can't seem to figure out DRLs. They're so dim they barely even qualify as DRLs. Every other brand seems to be able to do it just fine.
They don’t look dim in person
@@BenHardyCars Thats good to hear because it's basically been my only complaint about the new Rams. The Laramie's I've seen in person don't seem nearly as bright as the GMC, Chevy or Ford so I figured they were just using a different kind of lighting.
Ram is the best. Chevy and Ford can fight for second.
Damn that Ram looks good. Chevy and Ford just don't have the exterior appeal that Ram has.
Ram and chevy are unreliable and ugly
@@adrianm5936 Ram and Ford*
@@andybub45 haha that’s funny
Ford and Chevrolet*. You can say that about any of these trucks but deep down you know reliability isn't a factor in any of them. They are super reliable, all three.
@@adrianm5936 haha the world knows that Ford trucks don’t last over 120,000 miles anymore. Anything built 2010 or later. RAM is double that, if not more. You’re a fool for thinking Ford is the best.
I’m definetly alone here, but I’d take the Chevy over any of those every time, no matter how pretty the interior is on the others. I’ll never buy a Ford or Ram.
Chevy all day baby!
And Chevy realizes that no matter how lazy they are slapping together subpar trucks, their fans will still pay good money for them. It's a sad abusive relationship. Stockholm even
Chevys are more pretty looking from outside they look Aggressive and thats how a pick shoul be.
😂😂😂
You get the worst bang for your buck with Chevy. By all means, buy a vehicle that depreciates far more than the rest due to the awful resale value after 70,000 miles
Chevy needs to update their mid 90s interior
Ram needs different engine choices
Ford...everything is updated so far so it's ok.
Besides looks. Reliability is everything. And Ford has that locked up. So it's Ford. Then ram, then Chevy.
I agree that reliability is everything, I don’t care if my truck has heated leather and all that crap. I’d go Ford, Ram, Chevy like you.
@@alka2881 yes I agree I’m a ram dude myself and more engine options would be nice or at least try to improve the 5.7 because it does sound really good
You’re right I got a 2021 ram and that thing seems to have a leak on the gas tank 🤣
The only thing that locks up about Ford is their transmissions lmao.
Fords aren’t reliable
The Titan checks most of the boxes of these three at a cheaper price and will outlast them.
RAM
Ram for me.
Ford really improved their infotainment screen but overall Ram is still the nicest.
Chevy
Ford is and will always be number one RAM or chevy I can take or leave
Ford is a good second pick after Ram in 2021.
The front end of the RAM looks sleeker because it was wind-tunnel designed. It also has aero grill louvers and and a deployable air dam at speed. The other two are too overstyled for the sake of style in my opinion.
The F150 has Active arrow as well, the air dam lowers down at highway speeds
@@Matts000 The new 2021 F-150 front end looks even less aero than the 2020 model. Lots of unnecessary creases, angles, seams, and straight lines. Would love to see a wind tunnel comparison between it and the RAM 1500.
Definitely Ford 👍
I’ve always been a RAM guy, and I’ve been considering Ford, just to switch things up. But I can’t wrap my head around the fact that it’ll hands down be the worst for reliability after the warranty expires, going by their awful track record.
Ford ram Toyota Chevy
Is it just me,,, or does it not seem so long ago a descently equipped Chevy, Ford or Dodge truck was being a little crazy asking around 20,000 bucks for a truck?? Man, I guess I'm getting Old... or People are just getting richer! :D
The turbocharged Ford engine has impressive numbers but I doubt that the turbochargers will last the life of the vehicle.
I too was a skeptic. My dads freind had a 3.5 with 230k miles on original motor and charger. My brothers 2014 3.5 currently has 140k and shows no signs of stopping anytime soon
My dad bought a 2013 f150 3.5 with 0 miles. Over 5 years of TOWING a rig every day he put 150,000 miles with no issues! He towed almost the trucks max weight for all those years! That truck was a beast! He finally sold it for a f250 because... it’s a f250 lol
If you are buying new and trading it in a few years you won't own it for the life of the truck. It then becomes someone else's problem when "used." That is why I quit buying used cars. My last five cars were bought new.
My friend just sold his 2013. It had 240k miles and he said the turbo went to shit around 110k
I got 21 Rst and 16 ram Laramie 4x4 both trucks are solid as for the Ford I have never had one
Ram all the way!!!
Why does Chevy and Ford hold there value more than a ram does ? Rams are very nice in my opinion.
Ram
For the money Ford all the way
