Looking for a powerful and capable full-size truck? The 2025 Ford F‑150 and the 2025 Ram 1500 are two of the most popular choices among American drivers, and for good reason. Each truck offers strong towing, refined interiors, and high-tech features, but there are key differences that could influence your decision. At Crouse Ford, we're putting them head-to-head to help you decide which truck better fits your needs. Test drive today near Westminster, MD!
The 2025 Ford F‑150 is built with serious capability in mind. When equipped with the 3.5L EcoBoost® engine or the 3.5L PowerBoost™ hybrid engine, the Ford F‑150 can tow up to 13,500 lbs. and haul a payload of up to 2,445 lbs. The hybrid configuration delivers up to 430 horsepower and 570 lb.-ft. of torque, giving it the strength of a traditional V8 with greater efficiency.
The 2025 Ram 1500 comes close, offering a maximum towing capacity of 12,750 lbs. and payload capacity up to 2,330 lbs. with its high-output turbocharged inline-six. While the Ram delivers smooth power and strong numbers, it ultimately trails the Ford slightly in both towing and hauling.
Bottom line: If you need maximum towing and payload performance, the 2025 Ford F‑150 is the stronger performer.
The interior of the 2025 Ford F‑150 is designed to be both functional and modern. An available 12 in. SYNC® 4 touchscreen offers fast and easy access to your apps, navigation, and connectivity. A 12 in. digital instrument cluster, wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, and available features like the Interior Work Surface add daily usability. Even the entry-level trims come with strong feature sets that make the Ford F‑150 ready for both work and family duty.
The 2025 Ram 1500 leans more toward luxury. Higher trims offer a 14.5 in. touchscreen, real wood trim, ventilated leather seats, and premium audio systems. While the cabin is one of the most refined in its class, many of Ram's premium features are locked into upper trims, making them less accessible for buyers looking for value. The Ford F‑150 delivers more tech and utility across the board, while the Ram 1500 sets the benchmark for high-end luxury in upper trims.
Drivers who need trail-ready performance will appreciate what both trucks bring to the table. The 2025 Ford F‑150 offers off-road packages like the Tremor and Raptor. These models come with specialized shocks, a reinforced frame, advanced drive modes, and ground clearance built for adventure. The Raptor R takes things further with a high-output engine and extreme off-road tuning.
The 2025 Ram 1500 Rebel provides strong off-road performance with hill descent control, electronic locking differentials, and optional four-corner air suspension. It delivers confident capability and ride comfort even on rough terrain. Ford's off-road offerings give you more power and precision, especially in the Tremor and Raptor variants. Ram delivers strong trail performance with added ride comfort.
