2020 Ram 1500 vs Ford F-150

Getting the right pickup truck doesn’t have to be difficult or stressful, especially if you go and learn more about the options that are out there for you. We want to take a look at two of the top competitors, the 2020 Ram 1500 and the 2020 Ford F-150. Ram makes sure that the 1500 is properly equipped with the addition of a new engine into the lineup, multiple appearance packages, a mild-hybrid eTorque system, and many different clever storage features. Ford tries to keep up with the F-150 giving you a diesel engine on more trims, different trims and configurations, and Co-Pilot360 advanced driver-assist. Keep reading as we figure out which truck you should drive home in.

2020 Ram 1500 Power & Handling

One of the things we love most about the 2020 Ram 1500 is the engines that have been made available. You will be able to look at three engine options, all of which are available with either two-wheel or four-wheel drive. Beyond that, an eight-speed automatic transmission is matched up with all of them! We start off this engine lineup with a 3.6-liter V6, which gives you 269 pound-feet of torque and up to 305 horsepower. Next on the list is a turbodiesel 3.0-liter V6, which you’ll enjoy with its 260 horsepower and 480 pound-feet of torque. The final engine here is a 5.7-liter V8 that can output 395 horsepower.

Multiple engines can be found with the F-150 pickup truck. The standard transmission is a 6-speed automatic, while the rest of the lineup gets a 10-speed automatic. You can also expect to find either two-wheel or four-wheel drive. The engines include a 3.3-liter V6, a 2.7-liter twin-turbocharged V6, a 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6, a 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V6, a 5.0-liter V8, and the Raptor’s 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V6. We’re pretty happy with what the Ram 1500’s lineup looks, especially with the reliability factor included.
