Elk Grove Dodge Chrysler Jeep RAM
Elk Grove Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram · Ram 1500 Research
America's two best-known half-tons take different approaches. Here is how the 2027 Ram 1500 and 2027 Ford F-150 compare on power, towing, ride and the cabin you'll spend your time in.
| 2027 Ram 1500 | 2027 Ford F-150 | |
|---|---|---|
| Base engine | 3.6L V6 eTorque, 305 hp / 269 lb-ft | 3.0L EcoBoost V6, 325 hp / 400 lb-ft |
| V8 | 5.7L HEMI, 395 hp / 410 lb-ft | 5.0L V8, 400 hp / 410 lb-ft |
| Turbo six | 3.0L Hurricane, 420 hp / 469 lb-ft or 540 hp / 521 lb-ft | 3.5L EcoBoost V6, 400 hp / 500 lb-ft |
| Hybrid | eTorque mild hybrid (V6) | 3.5L PowerBoost full hybrid, 430 hp / 570 lb-ft |
| Max towing | 11,530 lb | 13,500 lb |
| Max payload | 2,340 lb | 2,440 lb |
| Rear suspension | Coil springs; available four-corner air | Leaf springs (coils on Raptor) |
| Largest center screen | 14.5 in | 12 in |
| Transmission | 8-speed automatic | 10-speed automatic |
If you tow near 12,000 lb or more, the F-150's higher rating matters. Most half-ton owners tow less than that, and for them the daily drive counts more: ride quality, the back seat and the cabin. That's where the Ram 1500 makes its case. Test-drive both back to back on the same road and compare. See Ram's ratings by engine and cab in our Ram 1500 towing chart.
The F-150, rated up to 13,500 lb with the 3.5L EcoBoost, versus up to 11,530 lb for the 2027 Ram 1500 with the 3.0L Hurricane.
Ram uses a coil-spring rear suspension instead of leaf springs, which gives it a smoother ride, especially unloaded. An active-leveling four-corner air suspension is also available.
Not a full hybrid. Ram offers eTorque, a mild-hybrid system, on the 3.6L V6. Ford's PowerBoost is a full hybrid making 430 hp.
They're close. The 5.7L HEMI makes 395 hp and 410 lb-ft; Ford's 5.0L V8 makes 400 hp and 410 lb-ft.
That's personal, but the Ram 1500 offers a larger available touchscreen (14.5 in vs 12 in), a passenger display, best-in-class Crew Cab rear legroom and a 23-speaker Klipsch system on Tungsten. Come sit in both.
