2024 Ford F-150 vs. 2024 RAM 1500: Which Full-Size Truck Prevails in Eureka, CA?

Light-duty trucks are immensely popular because they're more versatile than cars or SUVs. While they offer more creature comforts and tech features than ever, the biggest advantage of driving a truck is still capability. The 2024 Ford F-150 can tow and haul more than any full-size truck and it has a roomy, well-equipped cab. The 2024 RAM 1500 is also a quality full-size pickup, but it can't do as much as the F-150. Harper Motors created the following comparison of the two trucks to help you see why.

Capability and Performance

The 2024 Ford F-150 is ideal for pulling hefty trailers. Models equipped with the 5.0-liter V8 engine can tow up to 13,000 pounds. Go with the available 400-horsepower twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 motor and you'll have a towing capacity of 13,500 pounds. The 2024 RAM 1500 has a maximum tow rating of just 12,750 pounds.

You may also want to help someone move or carry a load of lumber to a construction site. The 2024 Ford F-150 is available with an 8-foot, a 6-foot, or a 5.5-foot bed. With the right configuration, it can haul a payload of up to 2,455 pounds. The 2024 RAM 1500 can only carry a max payload of 2,300 pounds.

Technology

Ford has taken a big leap forward by making a 12-inch capacitive infotainment touchscreen standard on all 2024 F-150 models. The 2024 RAM 1500's standard touchscreen is only 5 inches long. Larger touchscreens are available in the 1500, but you must pay more to add them.

Safety

You'll feel safe and secure in the 2024 Ford F-150, which comes standard with several helpful driver assistance features, including lane departure warning, automatic high-beam headlights, and forward collision warning with automatic braking. The only standard safety feature in the 2024 RAM 1500 is a rearview camera. More driver-assist aids can be added to the 1500 for an added expense.
