Interior and Exterior Design
The Ram 1500 and Ford F-150 are capable, rugged trucks. However, the Ram 1500 is known for its better luxury finishes and focus on comfort. On the inside, the cabin is made for long, leisurely drives with conveniences like plush leather upholstery, real wood finishes, carbon fiber details, and noise-canceling technology to keep the cabin blissfully quiet. The highest trims treat drivers and passengers to upgrades like heated and ventilated seats, a 23-speaker premium audio system, a panoramic glass roof, and a massive 14.5-inch touchscreen. While the Ford F-150 offers similar upgrades, it doesn't rise to the level of comfort and quality of the Ram 1500.
Size and Dimensions
The Ford F-150 is generally considered larger because it has more available cab sizes and bed lengths. The Ram 1500 comes with a Quad Cab or Crew Cab and two bed length options, 5.7 or 6.4 feet. The Ford F-150 has an additional Regular cab suitable for work purposes and a long bed option that is eight feet. However, the Ram 1500 offers a smoother ride and better interior finishes.
