2025 RAM 1500 vs. Ford F-150
Compare Features & Specs
Overview
Two models dominate the pickup truck market in 2025: the RAM 1500 and the Ford F-150. Both trucks are known for their impressive capabilities, stylish exteriors, and advanced features, but the RAM 1500 pulls ahead with updates, refreshed features, more powerful engines, and exciting new additions this year that defy comparison. Let’s dive into the differences between these 2 models, with Ford’s classic durability and reputation, and RAM’s focus on always bringing the best and latest, to help you make an informed decision.
Exterior and Trims
The 2025 RAM 1500 offers a range of trims including the utility-first Tradesman®, the off-road master Rebel®, the monstrously capable RAM 1500 RHO trim, and the most luxurious RAM yet, the Tungsten trim, among others. The new RHO builds upon top RAM features, boasting beadlock-capable wheels housing 35-inch all-terrain tires, the most tow hooks of any RAM, and a high-performance exhaust with 5-inch exhaust tips, for starters. Its performance backs up its aggressive look. On the other end of the spectrum, the Tungsten takes luxury to new heights, featuring exclusive elements like 22-inch wheels. A long list of trims in between include the Limited Longhorn™ and the daring Warlock, ensuring there’s a trim for everyone.
Like the RAM 1500, the 2025 Ford F-150 boasts a refined exterior with features like LED reflector headlamps, tough door handles, and a solid tailgate. Its trim levels are extensive as well, though not quite as varied. The TREMOR® and Raptor® cover their off-road variants. The King Ranch® commands attention with its unique 2-tone paint treatment, and the Platinum exudes sophistication with features like power-deployable running boards. While these trim levels are classic Ford and bring their own presence, the lineup lacks refreshed features and new additions that make them feel less innovative.
Technology and Interior
When looking at the 2025 RAM 1500, this truck’s interior is completely reimagined for comfort and functionality like never before. The impressive legroom for up to 6 passengers is just the start. The Tungsten treats you to premium 24-way power-adjustable seats with heating, ventilation, and massage. RAM’s Uconnect® 5 NAV system offers impressive displays—including a 14.4-inch touchscreen display and 10.25-inch front-passenger interactive display. There is also an offered Head-Up Display alongside extensive connectivity features. The available exclusive 23-speaker Klipsch® audio system immerses you in concert-quality sound.
The Ford F-150 also brings in modern technology, offering an optional 12-inch capacitive touchscreen with the FordPass® Connect 5G LTE Wi-Fi Hotspot. However, its interior lacks the level of luxury and customization found in the RAM 1500. While the F-150’s available leather seats and multi-adjustable front seats offer decent comfort, the RAM’s interior materials and layout may appeal more to those seeking a more refined and adaptable driving environment.
Capability and Power
The 2025 RAM 1500 engine lineup has seen an upgrade, too. The trusted 3.6L Pentastar® V6 with eTorque is still the core with 305 hp and 269 lbs.-ft. of torque, but the Rebel® now features the new Hurricane 3.0L engine, delivering 420 hp and 469 lbs.-ft. of torque. But the new RHO trim really shines, harboring a High-Output Hurricane engine that unleashes 540 hp and 521 lbs.-ft. of torque, showing RAM’s willingness to out-do itself. Features like Class-Exclusive Active-Level™ Four Corner Air Suspension System, 9 drive modes, and the RHO trim’s Bilstein® Black Hawk e2 shocks, maximize the RAM 1500 and its power.
The 2025 F-150 and its 13,500-lb. towing capacity is impressive. The RAM comes in second with an 11,500-lb. towing capacity, but it’s supported by innovative tech like Trailer Reverse Steering and Launch Control, which ensures smooth starts from a standstill under extreme weight.
After comparing the 2025 RAM 1500 and 2025 Ford F-150, it’s clear that while both trucks offer powerful performance and solid safety features, the RAM 1500 stands out with its forward-thinking, precision engineering, high-tech offerings, lavish accommodations, and constant aim to become bigger and better. For those in Lafayette, LA looking for a pickup truck that offers versatility, safety, and advanced features, the 2025 RAM 1500 might be just the vehicle to elevate your driving experience.
