How is it out of control? You people keep saying that while these trucks keep gaining sales. You obviously don't know what control is. If you find these trucks expensive, then why are you here? Go watch reviews of lower trim trucks for $30,000.
No, they aren't. In the US, you can still buy, with usual incentive, a base model truck for under $25,000. That's well within the budget of the average American car buyer. If you can't afford that, then that's you're problem because you're keep up with most buyers. Stop complaining.
Depends what you are looking for. I love both trucks, the deciding factor for me, which no one seems to mention...the aluminum Ford will deter rusting. In Iowa that is huge. #1 culprit of resale value... rust!
You're actually wrong there. The XL is the base model. The Long Horn and the Big Horn are two separate models. XL-> Tradesman, XLT-> Big Horn, Lariat-> Laramie, Raptor-> Rebel, King Ranch-> Laramie Long Horn, Platinum-> N/A, Limited-> Limited
@@SilverRaven1959 , spoken by a true Ford lemming. You Ford guys can't stand it when another truck manufacturer does something better. Fords trucks have rode like crap for ever!! I know, I sold them. And talk about repairs, holy crap, Ford were always in the shop. I sold Chevy's later and they held up much better. I don't care what brand you buy, just be honest and buy the best product out there.
@@wd8786 it's true my bruddah. I also love Ford trucks, but the reliability is not that bad, it's just the interior quality and ride quality that has always been better on the Ram.
Excellent comparison! Very accurate and updated info here. The back to back driving experience cannot be repeated by driving at dealerships because they have different locations and takes time to hop dealer to dealer. To quickly go back and forth is priceless. Thanks!
Nice to see a brand vs brand review. But, price ranges for these are insane! Let’s see the most popular trim on both. Not the “we would love to have it, but I’m never buying it” sort of thing
I bought a new truck last year and looked at the F150 Sport and Ram Sport and I flip flopped a few times about which one I wanted more. In the end I went with the Ram for a few reasons. 1. The interior was far superior in terms of appearance. It looked more modern and expensive. At the end of the day that's where you spend all your time. 2. Value. I got about $4,000 more in options for the same price as the Ford. I couldn't believe how much more the Ford cost. I got heated seats and steering wheel, sunroof, 8 inch screen, remote starter, leather and a few more things. 3. The ride in the Ram is nicer and more composed in my opinion. 4. The sound of the Hemi is just awesome. The ecoboost is a fantastic engine but I'm not a fan of how it sounds. I'm not crapping on the Ford, it is a nice vehicle for sure. If I was going to pull a big trailer often I would have bought the Ford because of the low end torque of the turbo. But I don't pull large trailers anymore, at least not very often. This is my opinion of course and the new 2019 Ram is much nicer than the the 2017 I bought and the 2019 Ford is still the same for the most part.
Jack Meov Yes. My last truck had a column shifter. I don't mind the shift knob at all. You get a lot more space in the center console. The shifters on the center consoles in new Ford trucks aren't connected to anything anyway, they're all computer controlled. I'd rather have the extra space. It's way more practical.
Listening to audio of vid on head-phones in a dimly lit room. Immediately looked over my shoulder. Am looking to buy a full sized truck so I appreciate this video.
Very nice comparison. I have a 2018 Raptor and when shopping I looked at both the F-150 Limited and RAM Limited. No question RAM interior smokes the FORD.
But you still went ahead and bought the Raptor hahah. I can't seem to get myself away from Ford. A nice interior and big nav screen takes the back seat every time to the looks of a Ford and of course the Ecoboost Engine. Sorry Ram!!
Parking assist off, lane keeping assistance off, brake assist off, engine stop/start off... I hate the technology on cars/trucks these days. I really appreciate that you demonstrated how bad some of them really are. Too many reviewers just say, “ah wow look at all this fantastic tech on here,” without ever showing how useless most of it is.
Ram limited for the win!!!! Mine blows my mind ever day such a nice truck. I didn't hear him say it But the air ride is awesome, even load levels once a trailer is hooked on!!!
C Nelson My 19 limited is awesome. A lot of people commenting about this truck have never even seen one much less driven one. The 12" screen is beautiful, the colors, the clarity and ease of use. You can't beat the ride and the feel of this truck. I absolutely love the air suspension.
CDP, i bought the life time max care bumper to bumper factory warranty for $3500 when I bought the truck... Everything on the truck minus 5 wear items(brake pads, rotors, tires, wipers, battery) are covered for as long as I own the truck. 💯 deductible only. And includes free loaner vehicles for 10 years. I'll be fine😀
I agree with you. That's ultimately what I'm waiting to see especially for the 2019 RAM. I'd get a 5 liter Ford. Not a fan of the ecoboost personally. But we shall see!
Ty Hammond - I have both,,,, no Joke. The Ford is a gas 1/2 ton and the Ram is a diesel 1 ton. Both are fully loaded and both have there better points however the Ford feels bigger in the front VS the Ram. The Ram always seems to make me remember it being the nicer interior right up till I get back into the Ford. Over all I like them both especially for what I got each one for. The Ford was purchased as a daily driver plus for errands and the Ram was bought for towing and long trips. What’s funny is the Ford little 1/2 ton gas twin turbo vee six ecoboost doesn’t get any better mpg VS my huge one ton dually Long box four door Ram. Plus if you keep the speeds down at 65-70 the 6.7 diesel Ram will get better mpg.
Ya can't use a hand held device but let's put a computer in your dashboard and that's ok. Why did you crash....I was changing the temperature in the truck. Lol
Hawkins Thomas exactly. Especially since all 3 of the makers bring plenty of capability to the table Id rather now how these things are to live with day to day
Samson Reynolds it’s a 2018. The 2019s have different coloured seats, HO Ecoboost motor and duel exhaust. These guys obviously don’t know what they’re talking about.
@@loganshuya6643yes, has lots of differences if you compare 2018 ford limited and 2019 ford limited… the 19” limited has the HO engine (as stated) which is a raptor engine they produced from factory! Much faster
Ptguy0618 true and plus im happy they still gonna have the classic body ram .now im just waiting on the two door hellcat versions they talking about coming out with
Nba Trill I had a 2011 ram hit 220,000km and no squeaks in my interior truck was 7 yrs old the interiors in my opinion hold better than ford and especially chevy
Its simple. if you're buying the truck for the luxury of it, buy the RAM. If you're buying it because you care for the "truck" aspect of it instead, buy F150. RAM can't beat F150's practicality so they pivoted to class leading luxury instead.
It's not that simple. The Ram is also a good pick for those that want a proper pickup with a V8, it's plenty capable. The F150 only has a real significant difference if you want the 3.5 Ecoboost. Though the 2019 Limited will get the Raptor engine which while powerful, gets Tundra mpg.
5.0 is nice Engine but the Ford is a light truck. F150 with 5.0 is 5.7secs 0-60 I believe. But the new Ram isn't far behind 6.1 0-60 while having a steel body except the hood and tailgate.
Thats every half ton truck anymore. The towing capacity difference is minimal. Also these are both top of the line and will never be used on a farm. So towing capacity and overall "truck" use is pointless with these.
When you said the annoying safety features in the ram, The 2019 Ram 1500 won my heart. Safety is safety .. you will never know when you will need it. Good job Ram.
Good review of the two high end options. Thanks! I've heard similar of the ride (cabin, suspension) of the 2019 RAM over the 2018 Ford. I opted for Ford due to IIHS crash test ratings, and the 2019 RAM not being available at the time. Just came back from a 10,000km+ road trip from Ontario to BC, Alberta and back, and the comfy seats, massage, and adaptive cruise were a HUGE perk! Kudos to all the manufacturers for servicing this "overpriced" segment of buyers looking for a 2 in 1 vehicle that can not only give me some of the luxury features I'm looking for in a large SUV, but the capabilities of a truck. I'm curious to see if the next high output engine will make a big enough difference that might sway me to upgrade to a 2019 Limited from my 2018 Platinum.
RAM went overboard with technology. I like Fords redundant physical controls a lot better. I might even go as far to consinder fumbeling across the 12" screen a safety issue. ;-)
Please, enlighten me on how a Porsche is better than one of these luxury trucks? It's faster? Bragging rights? Because those are the only two reasons I can think of. These trucks can carry up to 6 people, pull trailers, are good for both on and off-roading, can haul way more things than your traditional trunk, all while looking slick and stylish. Can a Porsche do any of those things?
Great review...really solid. I like the Ram most but would be hesitant to purchase either. If I were to buy a pickup I’m 95% sure I’d buy a Tundra. Low Tech, Low amenities, old design and all.
Very good video! I want to see more like this, comparing trucks side by side and going very in depth in their day to day uses. Towing and 0-60 is nice, but most trucks are daily drivers.
the thing i don't like about the rams 12 inch screen is that all the controls are on that screen. if the screen gets buggy or goes out completely, you lose all the stereo and climate functions.
Tell Ram to tell Ford thank you for pushing them to step their interior and features up. Ford has been the better luxury truck for years. Ram was just redone so they got a chance to do it big. I'm not a huge fan of the plastic and huge bezel around the F150's screen. However,the Ford has the power and capability that I would want and still is hella luxury.
I completely agree with this assessment. The Ram is just all around a nicer pickup throughout the whole lineup. Some things that I do like about the ford though is the engine and it's power output. I also like the center line on the backup camera. As someone who pulls trailers every day, I can appreciate this feature. Also, I completely agree with why Ram keeps you from rolling forward when you're in drive. When I had my 2013 with the 8 speed and rotary shifter, I had a couple of instances of being parked for a while with my foot on the brake then forgetting to rotate the dial to park and getting out of the truck only to have it roll forward. The funny thing about this is that this is the only truck I've ever done this in. It has to do with the rotary shift knob. We are all so used to putting our trucks in park by pushing up on the column shifter to park that the rotary dial in a truck kind of gets forgotten about until you do it enough to become routine habit. Great video! I am warming up to this new format of TFL videos in Canada.
I agree. My old GMC runs and drives great. 2004 model and just last week had to replace the original front shocks. The rears are still good. Called Crutchfield and got a new JVC stereo with bluetooth for $100. I'm modern now...lol. I'll get 10 more years out of this truck.
Looks like the F 150 won in all categories that matter on a full sized truck (power/torque, tow/payload capacity, fuel economy, larger fuel tank, trailer assist, etc..). Why buy a truck for luxury features when you can actually buy a real luxury vehicle? The 2019 F 150 Limited will have the new Raptor's twin turbo V6 which will further distance itself from the Ram in the power department.
Jason Harrison Comfort does count for something, but it should be secondary to tow/payload capacity, power/torque, fuel economy, etc...when your talking about full sized trucks. Buy a luxury SUV if you want a fancy interior.
CareerFireman psychological issues? For knowing when we see a better product?? No! A psychological problem is when, you spread fake news about a shitty truck (*cough* F150) hoping someone is going to drink the kool-aid, and believe you!
Very thorough review with great highlights on the features of the trucks. I will never say the Ram is not a "nice truck" because it is still the most luxurious truck on the market (yes, the interior of the Ram Limited/Longhorn will always be better than the Denali/High Country). But when purchasing my truck, the F150 Platinum won the bid by offering because the trim level below the Limited offers the FX4 and Max Tow packages. That sealed the bid for me.
You would need to make around a million a year to justify the cost of that Ram. Sweet interior in that thing. One reason I bought the 2018 Silveraodo Z71 LT. I got 28% off on it and paid less than half the sticker of either of those two trucks. I make good money and still hard to jusify the cost of my silverado. Not sure if I am a fan of the Blue leather.
Bought a 18 High Country 6.2L just because can't get past the look of the next-generation Silverado / Sierra and as you mentioned the cost was 20 grand less than the 19 Ram Limited.
gobigparts The top trims are defintly for the upper class. It'a posdible to get a deal on a decently optioned mid trim though, just got to fund a high volume dealer that's willing to work with you.
Ram wins again! Love it. I dropped Ford then GM and owning a large fleet I've found the Ram gives me way more bang for the buck and is engineered better.
I’ve been driving for a long time. My taste has changed a lot over the years. I’m a medically retired airline pilot and now build custom homes. I grew up on a cattle ranch in the mountainside NM. So, trucks have been a part of my life since I was born. Today after many back surgeries and arthritis in my hands, I’ve grown to appreciate a highly adjustable seats with both heat and cooling. Heated steering wheels are a big plus on my hands that are stiff and sore, especially in the winter. I think every truck of every brand is amazing today. However I believe, from observing all the truck at our job sites.... that Ram makes the best interior seats and materials for long term wear. I drive an f-150 Platinum, weigh about 190 and the driver seat cushion has broken down significantly! Several of my trades drive rams. In every instance, the Ram interior is holding up better and in particular the leather and the seat cushions are holding up better. The ford, on the other hand, has better power train options. Now I’ve been talking about 1/2 ton trucks. Many of our trades drive 3/4 and 1-ton trucks. Ram still has a higher quality interior overall, and I really like the Ram Diesel engine. That being said, I do believe Ford still leads on the power train. For me, with these trucks hitting $60k I believe the leather, plastics and cushions need to hold up for years! Fords don’t. I just looked at s 2017 Platinum with 32000 miles and the drivers seat cushion was in pretty bad shape. The leather was ok but wrinkled heavily because the cushion had collapsed. This is especially apparent on the door side edge of the seat. I spoke with an aftermarket leather manufacturer who also sells seat cushions. They told me Ford uses soy bean oil based cushions. They believe that could be part of the issue. They also pointed out that Ford leather is thinner and cheaper grades than in the Ram. Again. I would be glad to drive any truck made today. However, I hope these companies will continue to improve the quality of the interior and exterior materials. I hope some at Ford understands that this is something that needs to be improved.
The competition better be on notice....I am sure Toyota is like a shark waiting in ambush and will bring an all new and redesigned Tundra to market soon.....Imagine if they bring a hydrogen powered truck to market...that may be a huge game changer. I know you will say science fiction...but not that far away. Never under estimate the competition.
Philip Wood, if money is no object there are a couple supercharger options. I believe they there’s one that won’t interfere with the warrantee as well. May not yet be available on this gen.
While the RAM is one stunning truck the F 150 is up there.....Given the issues starting to be reported reflecting the poor QC RAM is famous for, in my case, I'll be reserving judgement on just how great it is...my money still goes to the well discounted and better proven track record Ford.
I have had a couple of Rams since 2013 and can tell you that each one has been flawless in regards to fit and finish as well as cabin and dash squeaks. I ride on farm roads and rough roads pulling trailers and these have been the best trucks by far I have ever owned. They have also been the most reliable trucks having spent less time in the shop and costing me the least amount of money to maintain.
Im confused, i thought that the 2019 Ford F-150 Limited has the high output 3.5L ecoboost not the standard one. As well as that the door panels are not leather wraped like the 2019 Ford F-150 Limited is supposed to have with a different interior color. Did you review the 2018 Ford F-150 Limited?
The prices of these trucks are getting out of control!
Cars And Zebras 👍🏻
I mean no one is forcing to buy em.
High end trucks. No vinyl floors here.
How is it out of control? You people keep saying that while these trucks keep gaining sales. You obviously don't know what control is. If you find these trucks expensive, then why are you here? Go watch reviews of lower trim trucks for $30,000.
No, they aren't. In the US, you can still buy, with usual incentive, a base model truck for under $25,000. That's well within the budget of the average American car buyer. If you can't afford that, then that's you're problem because you're keep up with most buyers. Stop complaining.
I'm a hard core Ford guy, Ram takes this one fair and square.
Depends what you are looking for. I love both trucks, the deciding factor for me, which no one seems to mention...the aluminum Ford will deter rusting. In Iowa that is huge. #1 culprit of resale value... rust!
Omg. 4:52 Who is breathing so hard? Somebody give that guy some oxygen.

Really liking that TFL is posting almost daily. Hope that trend keeps going.
Great Review. Now lets see a review between the Ram Big Horn and the Ford F150 XLT the more mainstream models that more people can afford.
Yes
You're actually wrong there. The XL is the base model. The Long Horn and the Big Horn are two separate models. XL-> Tradesman, XLT-> Big Horn, Lariat-> Laramie, Raptor-> Rebel, King Ranch-> Laramie Long Horn, Platinum-> N/A, Limited-> Limited

EastCoastATV what did you end up paying out the door for your truck. I’ve got a 2016 f150 but I’m thinking about getting a new one.
EastCoastATV you don’t lose the value with The Ford though
I got my ram sport for $43,000 out the door the ford would have cost me $60,000 it's a no brainer lol
EastCoastATV so I'm guessing ur new to the twist knob as well?
Jack Meov Yes. My last truck had a column shifter. I don't mind the shift knob at all. You get a lot more space in the center console.

Nice review always impressed with TFL team love you guys 👍🏻💪🏻✌🏼🙏🏼
I definitely prefer the Ram, although I can't afford either one like you. ;)
jedironin380 how does ur comment say "posted a week ago" when the video was published today. TH-cam black magic?
Rodney Tehrani lmaooo didn't even see that
TFL Magic! I think they occasionally edit or update their videos, then re-post them. That's how you get older videos with a newer date on it. ;)
jedironin380 👍🏻🙂
With a goal and executing a plan, you can eventually afford whatever you want. It starts with mindset.
WTH! the F150 looks a decade older in ergonomics compared to the RAM!
Love this guy's reviews
Thanks for a well informed review!
This is by far the best review I ever came across
That blue leather is awful
doit I thought I was the only one to think so. It looks like it came out of a 1988 Town Car.
My thoughts exactly!!! Blue is my favorite color but those seats are hideous!!
doit nah your wrong. I guess you don't like leather in anything but brown ay?
Timothy Clark Why brown? Why not black or gray leather? Brown looks terrible in any vehicle.
Yea, I'm not a fan either. I think that's why Ford changed it for 2019.
What is that creepy heavy breathing sound at 4:50? Lol. Love the video, but that caught me off guard.
Rodney Tehrani thought i was the only one lol.
😂😂😂😂
its the AC.
Listening to audio of vid on head-phones in a dimly lit room. Immediately looked over my shoulder.

It made me hard... anyone else? lol
Loved the video , i seen the ram in person and i have to say it looks amazing
Great video, very good reviewer and I like the Canadian perspective. Thank you TFL
Very nice comparison. I have a 2018 Raptor and when shopping I looked at both the F-150 Limited and RAM Limited. No question RAM interior smokes the FORD.
Also the ram carries more weight Han the 2019 f-150
Wow be thankful for you raptor! The f150 raptor is still the best truck on the market
Matthew Wideman personally I’d take a powerwagon instead any day but that’s just personal preference.
But you still went ahead and bought the Raptor hahah. I can't seem to get myself away from Ford. A nice interior and big nav screen takes the back seat every time to the looks of a Ford and of course the Ecoboost Engine. Sorry Ram!!
2019 RAM did a very good job, I begin to warm up to it!
Very nice review. Much appreciated.
Such a quality reviewer/auto-journalist. Watched you over on autoguide and I was always watching the whole video.
The nicest half ton period!!!! Gotta love it 😍 Mopar for the win
Mopar or no car
Parking assist off, lane keeping assistance off, brake assist off, engine stop/start off... I hate the technology on cars/trucks these days.
I really appreciate that you demonstrated how bad some of them really are. Too many reviewers just say, “ah wow look at all this fantastic tech on here,” without ever showing how useless most of it is.
Hogh308 dumbing down people further progresses. One day people won’t be able to pick their nose on their own.
It adds nothing . The lane assist and other things are just ignored or turned off.
Great review!!!!
Top notch reviewer here. Great job!
Ram limited for the win!!!! Mine blows my mind ever day such a nice truck. I didn't hear him say it But the air ride is awesome, even load levels once a trailer is hooked on!!!
C Nelson 👍🏻🙂
The air bags are the only redeeming, dominant feature on fca ram.

C Nelson, Let us know how nice that "air ride" is when it`s time for repairs.
CDP, i bought the life time max care bumper to bumper factory warranty for $3500 when I bought the truck... Everything on the truck minus 5 wear items(brake pads, rotors, tires, wipers, battery) are covered for as long as I own the truck. 💯 deductible only. And includes free loaner vehicles for 10 years. I'll be fine😀
Could we see some more base model reviews
Great video!!
Excellent presentation. Good show!
The RAM looks 10X better than the Ford. Let's wait and see how the quality is over time.

I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to do this while moving officially either.
Mitch Reive There's also actual physical temp control knobs on the outside of the screen.
Mitch Reive cars turn off these options when moving
Excellent Point
Really good review
Good solid , no nonsense review. Shout out to Ontario Canada
Good review, it's nice to have a review that doesn't just compare towing and payload numbers.
Hawkins Thomas exactly. Especially since all 3 of the makers bring plenty of capability to the table Id rather now how these things are to live with day to day
I like the Exterior and Performance Of the Ford but the Interior and Technology of the Ram, perfection would be a mix between the two
Great review
I was debating between this 2 glad I went with my Ram 1500 Limited great review guys! Watching from Mexico
How has your Ram been?
Debating like you btwn the two..
Thanks

Fishing line and a hair dryer then alcohol to clean residue and you’re good to go

Dave Wolly I'm going to have to disagree with you here. I think it looks great and is another way to differentiate from lesser trims.
I actually like it. Looks classy. More makes should do that on all their vehicles
That AutoPark is not annoying, they put it there so they wouldnt get sued if the truck runs you over.
turshin e-brakes are soooooo 1950s. /sarcasm
Great unbiased review
Nice comparison. This guy always does a great job
Dodge Ram interior is making Ford F-150 interior look so outdated lol
I’m a gm guy but that ram look beautiful
Ford is very disappointing to 2014 2018 look the same
Very very good review I like your comments narrative
Very nice extensive review. I'm not pickup driver but they sure are appealing, especially the luxury ones.
Ford INVENTED Recalls.
And RAM invented Crap
1987 called... They want their blue leather back
I think the blue is for all the poor leaf fans....hockey team sucks but maybe the truck doesn"t.
Dumbass. It was vinyl in 1987.
Like this guy’s review
I wish TFL would do more reviews on trim levels that more of us can actually afford.
I like this new Ram truck but my concern is quality. Is it going to start squeaking in 2 months like my Town and Country?
but every generation of ram squeak i think that the downfall of ram i hoped the fixed it with 2019
Ptguy0618 true and plus im happy they still gonna have the classic body ram .now im just waiting on the two door hellcat versions they talking about coming out with
My 2014 Ram is still good as new, not one sqeek or rattle and the thing still looks new. I'm upgrading to a 2019 for the bigger cab.
Stephen Y yes
Nba Trill I had a 2011 ram hit 220,000km and no squeaks in my interior truck was 7 yrs old the interiors in my opinion hold better than ford and especially chevy
Its simple. if you're buying the truck for the luxury of it, buy the RAM.
If you're buying it because you care for the "truck" aspect of it instead, buy F150.
RAM can't beat F150's practicality so they pivoted to class leading luxury instead.
Yep. Depends if you want show or go.
It's not that simple.
The Ram is also a good pick for those that want a proper pickup with a V8, it's plenty capable.
The F150 only has a real significant difference if you want the 3.5 Ecoboost. Though the 2019 Limited will get the Raptor engine which while powerful, gets Tundra mpg.
Necrotic Reaper the 5.0 v8 for ford is also a pretty damn badass engine as well.
BUILT DIESEL MAFIA the 5.0 is faster in a race than the 5.7 too
5.0 is nice Engine but the Ford is a light truck. F150 with 5.0 is 5.7secs 0-60 I believe. But the new Ram isn't far behind 6.1 0-60 while having a steel body except the hood and tailgate.
Will the Ipad mounted to the dashboard of the Ram work with my gloves on?
If I recall, there's an option in the settings menu to turn off the auto parking brake
NOLAItsNotOva He showed us that
Philip Wood For the auto braking for parksense in the rear. I meant the auto parking brake for when the door is open while the truck is in Drive
He also missed the fact that you can make the camera fill the whole screen.
The ram isnt a truck anymore it. Its a car suv with a bed. Instead of showing how they look let see what that can do on a farm
Thats every half ton truck anymore. The towing capacity difference is minimal. Also these are both top of the line and will never be used on a farm. So towing capacity and overall "truck" use is pointless with these.
They have John Deere tractors for the farm
the inside of the ram is like a tesla
When you said the annoying safety features in the ram, The 2019 Ram 1500 won my heart. Safety is safety .. you will never know when you will need it. Good job Ram.
Good review of the two high end options. Thanks! I've heard similar of the ride (cabin, suspension) of the 2019 RAM over the 2018 Ford. I opted for Ford due to IIHS crash test ratings, and the 2019 RAM not being available at the time. Just came back from a 10,000km+ road trip from Ontario to BC, Alberta and back, and the comfy seats, massage, and adaptive cruise were a HUGE perk! Kudos to all the manufacturers for servicing this "overpriced" segment of buyers looking for a 2 in 1 vehicle that can not only give me some of the luxury features I'm looking for in a large SUV, but the capabilities of a truck. I'm curious to see if the next high output engine will make a big enough difference that might sway me to upgrade to a 2019 Limited from my 2018 Platinum.
RAM went overboard with technology. I like Fords redundant physical controls a lot better. I might even go as far to consinder fumbeling across the 12" screen a safety issue. ;-)
Hoimar von Ditfuth- Siefken ram has redundant physical controls as well.

Ram the controls on the screen and physical buttons
@JMax 01 well in guess your right if you like riding your girl in a rust bucket!
Oh my god. $85,000??? I can get a Porsche for that.
A Porsche is garbage compared to this.
C.T. Productions Hmmm, I drink a lot on Sunday’s too
I'd love to see you try and tow a trailer with your Porsche
Jason Harrison that’s what I have my 2018 Ram for. I’m just making comparisons man
Please, enlighten me on how a Porsche is better than one of these luxury trucks?
It's faster? Bragging rights? Because those are the only two reasons I can think of.
These trucks can carry up to 6 people, pull trailers, are good for both on and off-roading, can haul way more things than your traditional trunk, all while looking slick and stylish.
Can a Porsche do any of those things?
Amazing video.!..
Can you make a video 2019 RAM vs 2019 Chevrolet Silverado ?
clrsjohn rather have the Sierra vs this Ram
Already made. It came in last in the big three!! Not even close!!
Good review, when will you do a 19 Ram Limited vs. 19 Sierra Denali Ultimate ?
The Ford blue interior is ugly
Chris Browne looks like bus seats
Chris Browne the previous generation one had better looking seats
Great review...really solid. I like the Ram most but would be hesitant to purchase either. If I were to buy a pickup I’m 95% sure I’d buy a Tundra. Low Tech, Low amenities, old design and all.
I priced a Tundra out at 50 grand...burn a lot of gas for 30 000 dollars and maybe way less repairs too.
Very good video! I want to see more like this, comparing trucks side by side and going very in depth in their day to day uses. Towing and 0-60 is nice, but most trucks are daily drivers.
Ok... I cracked up a little when you said no USB C... LOL
the thing i don't like about the rams 12 inch screen is that all the controls are on that screen. if the screen gets buggy or goes out completely, you lose all the stereo and climate functions.
SteelCity1981 you still have physical climate control buttons on the sides. And I believe there’s volume and tuner knobs on the bottom sides.
Both of those systems have redundant hard keys.
Exactly why I’d never ever buy one, look at the 2019 Denali 1500, most buttoned up vehicle I’ve ever seen, buttons everywhere, love it.
Exactly I was worried about that
Theres physical buttons for climate control and radio.
Tell Ram to tell Ford thank you for pushing them to step their interior and features up. Ford has been the better luxury truck for years. Ram was just redone so they got a chance to do it big. I'm not a huge fan of the plastic and huge bezel around the F150's screen. However,the Ford has the power and capability that I would want and still is hella luxury.
Well, the Ford also has better quality, better reliability, better safety...
Ram just took over!! Better truck all around!
I completely agree with this assessment. The Ram is just all around a nicer pickup throughout the whole lineup. Some things that I do like about the ford though is the engine and it's power output. I also like the center line on the backup camera. As someone who pulls trailers every day, I can appreciate this feature. Also, I completely agree with why Ram keeps you from rolling forward when you're in drive. When I had my 2013 with the 8 speed and rotary shifter, I had a couple of instances of being parked for a while with my foot on the brake then forgetting to rotate the dial to park and getting out of the truck only to have it roll forward. The funny thing about this is that this is the only truck I've ever done this in. It has to do with the rotary shift knob. We are all so used to putting our trucks in park by pushing up on the column shifter to park that the rotary dial in a truck kind of gets forgotten about until you do it enough to become routine habit.
Great video! I am warming up to this new format of TFL videos in Canada.
Love it how this video was completly unbiased against both trucks, yet when you scroll into the comments its nothing but dodge vs ford.
with all this tech, which is eventually going to fail and the price --my old truck is getting worth more everyday!!!!
I agree. My old GMC runs and drives great. 2004 model and just last week had to replace the original front shocks. The rears are still good. Called Crutchfield and got a new JVC stereo with bluetooth for $100. I'm modern now...lol. I'll get 10 more years out of this truck.
Looks like the F 150 won in all categories that matter on a full sized truck (power/torque, tow/payload capacity, fuel economy, larger fuel tank, trailer assist, etc..). Why buy a truck for luxury features when you can actually buy a real luxury vehicle? The 2019 F 150 Limited will have the new Raptor's twin turbo V6 which will further distance itself from the Ram in the power department.
Imagine that pricetag! But a 1/2 ton luxury giving the 6.2L a real run for the money!
Because some people spend many hours in their truck and dont push the engine or tow limits to the limit. Comfort counts for something.
Jason Harrison Comfort does count for something, but it should be secondary to tow/payload capacity, power/torque, fuel economy, etc...when your talking about full sized trucks. Buy a luxury SUV if you want a fancy interior.
Chris M. Are you high?!?!? The ram feels better towing any ways.
Chris M. I’ve owned both
is the navigation like the JEEP? connects to google maps/waze via phone?
ViiV Creations if you are referring to Android Auto or Apple Carplay, yes it does.
Great review man. So glad Ram finally got a useable Crew Cab size for the back. The previous generation is too small.
Hands down RAM (No money in the hand though)
Don K 🤣😂
No.
Remember though 2018 vs 2019
What about the two brands history of how reliable they happened I'll be another very important point dimension please
Bro these two are my dream vehicles and i know one day I’m getting one of them no doubt about it
Looks like Ford will have to up their game or they will lose that number one spot to Ram
CareerFireman #1 in breaking down!
Nahhhh FCA will always be 3rd to Ford and Chevy but they did do a good job.
CareerFireman wow, you Ford fanboys really do have reading comprehension problems!
CareerFireman psychological issues? For knowing when we see a better product?? No! A psychological problem is when, you spread fake news about a shitty truck (*cough* F150) hoping someone is going to drink the kool-aid, and believe you!
John Doe There’s nothing fake about Ford being number one! It’s been that way 40+ years.
RAM NATION....
When you see that 1 foot screen on the RAM
Very thorough review with great highlights on the features of the trucks. I will never say the Ram is not a "nice truck" because it is still the most luxurious truck on the market (yes, the interior of the Ram Limited/Longhorn will always be better than the Denali/High Country). But when purchasing my truck, the F150 Platinum won the bid by offering because the trim level below the Limited offers the FX4 and Max Tow packages. That sealed the bid for me.
You would need to make around a million a year to justify the cost of that Ram. Sweet interior in that thing. One reason I bought the 2018 Silveraodo Z71 LT. I got 28% off on it and paid less than half the sticker of either of those two trucks. I make good money and still hard to jusify the cost of my silverado. Not sure if I am a fan of the Blue leather.
Bought a 18 High Country 6.2L just because can't get past the look of the next-generation Silverado / Sierra and as you mentioned the cost was 20 grand less than the 19 Ram Limited.
It's around 60K in the states. But you could probably get a similar deal on a 2018 Ram since they want to make room for the 2019 models.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot I was watching a Canadian Version. None the less any of the fully loaded ones a pricing the middle class out of the game.
gobigparts The top trims are defintly for the upper class.
It'a posdible to get a deal on a decently optioned mid trim though, just got to fund a high volume dealer that's willing to work with you.
Yes, did this with my 2018 silverado.
Ram wins again! Love it. I dropped Ford then GM and owning a large fleet I've found the Ram gives me way more bang for the buck and is engineered better.
Wait till you try to resell them. Youre in for a big surprise
What’s the safety ratting between the two?
I’ve been driving for a long time. My taste has changed a lot over the years. I’m a medically retired airline pilot and now build custom homes. I grew up on a cattle ranch in the mountainside NM. So, trucks have been a part of my life since I was born. Today after many back surgeries and arthritis in my hands, I’ve grown to appreciate a highly adjustable seats with both heat and cooling. Heated steering wheels are a big plus on my hands that are stiff and sore, especially in the winter.
I think every truck of every brand is amazing today. However I believe, from observing all the truck at our job sites.... that Ram makes the best interior seats and materials for long term wear. I drive an f-150 Platinum, weigh about 190 and the driver seat cushion has broken down significantly! Several of my trades drive rams. In every instance, the Ram interior is holding up better and in particular the leather and the seat cushions are holding up better. The ford, on the other hand, has better power train options. Now I’ve been talking about 1/2 ton trucks. Many of our trades drive 3/4 and 1-ton trucks. Ram still has a higher quality interior overall, and I really like the Ram Diesel engine. That being said, I do believe Ford still leads on the power train. For me, with these trucks hitting $60k I believe the leather, plastics and cushions need to hold up for years! Fords don’t. I just looked at s 2017 Platinum with 32000 miles and the drivers seat cushion was in pretty bad shape. The leather was ok but wrinkled heavily because the cushion had collapsed. This is especially apparent on the door side edge of the seat. I spoke with an aftermarket leather manufacturer who also sells seat cushions. They told me Ford uses soy bean oil based cushions. They believe that could be part of the issue. They also pointed out that Ford leather is thinner and cheaper grades than in the Ram.
Again. I would be glad to drive any truck made today. However, I hope these companies will continue to improve the quality of the interior and exterior materials. I hope some at Ford understands that this is something that needs to be improved.
Hello Toyota...are you paying attention
The competition better be on notice....I am sure Toyota is like a shark waiting in ambush and will bring an all new and redesigned Tundra to market soon.....Imagine if they bring a hydrogen powered truck to market...that may be a huge game changer. I know you will say science fiction...but not that far away. Never under estimate the competition.
Lol
Ram wins....Just think if the hemi had a turbo....
Philip Wood, if money is no object there are a couple supercharger options. I believe they there’s one that won’t interfere with the warrantee as well. May not yet be available on this gen.
Cobber RIPP
Hell even if Ram would put the 6.4(SRT grade) in the Ram....whew!
Why would you put a turbo on a nearly 50 year old engine?
We can "if" things to death. But it doesnt matter. It doesnt nor will it ever have a turbo. Fords 3.5 ecoboost eats its lunch.
Excellent review imo, but I didn't hear about payload and towing capabilities..did I miss that?
Did they fix the intercooler issue on these new models of the ecoboost?
Automotive Guru like 4 years ag
While the RAM is one stunning truck the F 150 is up there.....Given the issues starting to be reported reflecting the poor QC RAM is famous for, in my case, I'll be reserving judgement on just how great it is...my money still goes to the well discounted and better proven track record Ford.
Troy Power i only buy fords that are made up to 1996, no later.
Troy Power wait till 2020 for the new gen f150, dodge will be shit again
I have had a couple of Rams since 2013 and can tell you that each one has been flawless in regards to fit and finish as well as cabin and dash squeaks. I ride on farm roads and rough roads pulling trailers and these have been the best trucks by far I have ever owned. They have also been the most reliable trucks having spent less time in the shop and costing me the least amount of money to maintain.
Lol Ford fanboy
ford has just as many problems as the rest. don't believe all those fake reviews u read. most are paid for by the auto maker
Overpriced pickups
Im confused, i thought that the 2019 Ford F-150 Limited has the high output 3.5L ecoboost not the standard one. As well as that the door panels are not leather wraped like the 2019 Ford F-150 Limited is supposed to have with a different interior color. Did you review the 2018 Ford F-150 Limited?
What song is that at the beginning?
