If you’re looking at heavy-duty pickup trucks, you have some great options. The 2025 Ram 2500 and 2025 Ford F-250 Super Duty are both quality picks. Let’s take a look at the features of both to figure out how they stack up.
VS.
The 2500 comes in seven configurations, ranging from the affordable Tradesman model to the top-of-the-line Limited. The F-250 comes in five trim levels, from the wallet-friendly XL to the well-appointed Platinum. We’ll find most of what these vehicles have to offer somewhere in the middle, so let’s go through the standard features of the 2025 Ram 2500 Laramie Crew Cab 4WD vs. the 2025 Ford F-250 Super Duty Lariat Crew Cab 4WD.
The 2500 boasts a powerful 6.4L V8 engine, delivering 405 hp @ 5,600 rpm and 429 lb-ft torque @ 4,000 rpm. An 8-speed shiftable automatic transmission with four wheel drive puts you in control of a smooth ride.
The F-250 has a 7.3L V8 engine under the hood for 430 hp @ 5,500 rpm and 485 lb-ft torque @ 4,000 rpm. Featuring a 10-speed shiftable automatic transmission with four wheel drive, the F-250 is also a respectable option.
On the whole, both the 2500 and F-250 are competent performers in most settings.
The Ram 2500 boasts an impressive package of safety features. Standard driver-assistance or safety features include blind spot detection, electronic stability control with anti-rollover, rear parking sensors, brake assist, forward collision warning plus mitigation, and more.
The Ford F-250 Super Duty also delivers when considering safety. The F-250 packs a driver assist package that includes a blind spot information system with cross-traffic alert, pre-collision assist with automatic emergency braking and more.
If you want a welcoming interior that is well-equipped but not distracting, you’ll probably like the 2500. Behind its attractive exterior styling is seating for 6, heated 8-way power-adjustable front seats with lumbar support, automatic dual-zone air conditioning, and plenty of other comforts. The infotainment system features 10-speaker premium audio, integrated voice command, HD radio, SiriusXM® 360L, and too many amenities to list here.
We have no major complaints about the F-250’s interior. With seating for 5, dual-zone automatic temperature control, and 8-way power-adjustable driver and passengers seats, comfort shouldn’t be an issue. SiriusXM® 360L, Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, built-in navigation and more comprise an adequate infotainment setup.
Ram is highly regarded for capable, comfortable trucks that provide a great experience on and off the job site. The 2025 2500 lives up to the reputation. The 2025 Ford F-250 Super Duty is also a solid pick. Both are excellent, but in our opinion, the Ram 2500 wins this matchup.
