If you’re shopping for large pickup trucks, you have some great options. The 2025 Ram 1500 and 2025 Ford F-150 are both excellent picks. Let’s take a look at the specs of both to see which one is right for you.
VS.
The 1500 comes in ten trims, ranging from the budget-conscious Tradesman model to the top-of-the-line Tungsten. The F-150 comes in eight trim levels, from the affordable XL to the well-appointed Raptor. We’ll find most of what these vehicles have to offer not too far from the base configuration, so let’s take a look at the standard features of the 2025 Ram 1500 Big Horn Crew Cab 4WD vs. the 2025 Ford F-150 XLT SuperCrew 4WD.
The 1500 has a capable 3.6L V6 engine, delivering 305 hp @ 6,400 rpm and 269 lb-ft torque @ 4,800 rpm. An 8-speed shiftable automatic transmission with four wheel drive provides an agile driving experience. With an estimated fuel economy of 19 MPG city / 25 MPG highway, the 1500 offers excellent efficiency for its class.
The F-150 has a 2.7L twin turbo V6 engine under the hood for 325 hp @ 5,500 rpm and 400 lb-ft torque @ 3,500 rpm. Featuring a 10-speed automatic transmission with four wheel drive and an estimated 18 MPG city / 24 MPG highway, the F-150 is also a respectable pick.
Altogether, both the 1500 and F-150 are competent performers in most environments.
The Ram 1500 packs an impressive lineup of safety features. Standard driver-assistance or safety features include electronic stability control with anti-rollover, blind spot detection, predictive brake assist, and more.
The Ford F-150 also delivers when considering safety. The F-150 has a driver assist package that includes front collision mitigation assist, lane keeping alert, a blind spot information system, and more.
If you want a comfortable interior with thoughtful features, you’ll probably like the 1500. Inside you’ll find seating for 6 with adjustable front seats and a rear 60/40 folding seat. Generous upgrade packages are available as well for added comfort and tech. The infotainment system features 6-speaker audio, wireless phone connectivity, and all the basics you’ve come to expect. Trucks you find at Pine Belt will often come with an upgrade package featuring Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, voice command, and everything you need to feel at home behind the wheel.
Most drivers won’t be disappointed by the F-150’s interior. With seating for 6, comfort shouldn’t be an issue. Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™ and more comprise a serviceable infotainment setup.
Ram is known for capable, comfortable trucks that provide a great experience on and off the job site. The 2025 1500 lives up to the reputation. The 2025 Ford F-150 is also a well-rounded option. Both are excellent, but in our opinion, the Ram 1500 pulls out ahead.
