When you are in the market for a new vehicle, you might feel overwhelmed by all of the options available to you. That is why doing comparisons can be so helpful, because they allow you to put two models that appear similar up side by side to examine their differences and determine which one will offer more of the features and capabilities you are looking for. This comparison looks at the base models of the 2019 Ram 1500 vs 2018 Ford F-150.
While these truck models appear very similar on the outside, the inside tells a different story. The Ram 1500 offers more convenience features and interior space than the Ford F-150, as well as more power under the hood to get you from point A to point B with ease. That's why we think the 2019 Ram 1500 is a better option overall for consumers, despite having a slightly higher starting MSRP. Let's take a closer look at some of the key features and differences between these two models!
The 2019 Ram 1500 has more power than the Ford F-150, and more towing capabilities. The Ram 1500 has a maximum trailer weight of 6,730 pounds, while the Ford F-150 maxes out at 5,000 pounds. The Ram 1500 has more interior space for passengers as well, seating up to six passengers and offering 117 cubic feet of passenger volume, compared to seating three passengers and offering only 65 cubic feet of passenger volume. The Ram 1500 also offers more front head room and hip room than the F-150 so the driver and front passenger don't feel cramped.
The Ram 1500 has many standard features that enhance convenience, including Bluetooth® connectivity, voice recognition, cruise control, a compass, remote keyless entry, a driver information center, and heated side mirrors. These features are available only as an upgrade on the base trim of the Ford F-150. Additionally, the Ram 1500 has standard USB ports, a proximity key, and a keyless access system, which are not offered at all on the F-150.
