2025 Ram 1500 vs. 2025 Ford F-150: Which Truck Wins?

The 2025 Ram 1500 and 2025 Ford F-150 are two of the biggest names in the truck world. Both are built to handle tough jobs, tow heavy loads, and offer plenty of comfort for everyday driving. But which one deserves a spot in your driveway? Whether you need a workhorse for Saskatchewan’s farms or a rugged ride for weekend adventures, let's see which truck comes out on top.

Power & Performance – Who Brings the Muscle?

The Ram 1500 shakes things up in 2025 with new Hurricane engines replacing the well-known Hemi V8. The standard 3.6-litre V6 makes 315 horsepower, while the twin-turbo 3.0-litre inline-six comes in two versions—one with 420 horsepower and another with 540 horsepower. Every Ram now comes with 4x4, giving drivers confidence on snowy or muddy roads. The F-150 offers six engine options, from the 2.7-litre EcoBoost V6 with 325 horsepower to the 5.2-litre supercharged V8 in the Raptor R, making 720 horsepower. Ford’s hybrid PowerBoost engine delivers 430 horsepower and 570 lb-ft of torque, giving it impressive fuel economy and serious towing power.

For everyday strength, the Ram 1500’s new inline-six engines offer smooth power and better efficiency than the old V8. But if you want the most options, the F-150’s wide range of engines gives you more ways to build your perfect truck.

Towing & Capability – Who Pulls More?

Trucks need to do real work, and that means towing big loads. The Ram 1500 can tow up to 11,580 lbs, depending on the trim and engine. It also comes with an air suspension option, making hauling smoother and more stable. The F-150 can tow up to 13,500 lbs when equipped with the Max Trailer Tow Package and 3.5-litre EcoBoost engine. That gives Ford an edge for heavy haulers, but Ram’s coil-spring suspension and air suspension option make towing feel smoother.

If you need max towing, the F-150 wins. But for a comfortable towing experience, the Ram 1500 feels better on the road.

Fuel Efficiency – Who Saves More at the Pump?

Trucks are powerful, but fuel efficiency matters—especially with today’s gas prices. The Ram 1500’s new Hurricane engines promise better fuel economy, though exact ratings aren’t out yet. The V6 and lower-output inline-six should see better mileage than the outgoing Hemi V8. The F-150’s hybrid PowerBoost is the efficiency king, rated at 10.1 L/100 km for city, highway, and combined driving. Its other gas engines range from 10.7 L/100 km to over 19.7 L/100 km (for the supercharged Raptor R).

If fuel savings matter, the F-150’s hybrid is unbeatable. But Ram’s new inline-six might be a great balance of power and efficiency once official numbers are released.

Interior & Technology – Which Truck Feels Like Home?

Inside, both trucks bring big screens, premium materials, and modern tech.

The Ram 1500 gets an optional 14.5-inch centre touchscreen, a 10.25-inch passenger display, and a digital instrument cluster. The new Tungsten trim adds massaging seats, premium leather, and a Klipsch 23-speaker sound system—making it one of the most luxurious trucks ever made. The F-150 comes standard with a 12-inch touchscreen, with higher trims offering premium leather, real wood accents, and Ford’s BlueCruise hands-free driving. It also comes with work-friendly features like the Interior Work Surface, which turns the centre console into a flat workspace.

The Ram 1500’s cabin feels more like a high-end SUV, while the F-150 focuses on work-ready practicality. For luxury and comfort, Ram wins. For pure function, Ford has the edge.

Safety & Driver Assistance – Who Has Your Back?

Both trucks pack advanced safety tech to keep you secure on the road. The Ram 1500 includes adaptive cruise control, lane management, emergency braking, front and rear parking assist, and a surround-view camera. The Hands-Free Driving Assist system helps with highway driving, similar to Ford’s BlueCruise. The F-150 comes with Ford Co-Pilot360, offering adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, and rear parking sensors. The F-150 scored high in IIHS and NHTSA crash tests, making it one of the safest trucks on the road.

Both trucks offer great safety, but Ford’s crash test ratings give it the win.

Which Truck Should You Buy?

Both the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150 are great choices, but the right one depends on your needs. Pick the Ram 1500 if you want the smoothest ride, a high-end interior, and powerful but refined engines. Pick the Ford F-150 if you need max towing, the best hybrid option, or a more work-focused truck. Visit Diamond Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram today and test drive the 2025 Ram 1500!
