Towing Power
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.
Engine Lineup
The 2025 Ford F‑150 continues to offer one of the most diverse engine selections in the segment. Available engines include a 2.7L EcoBoost® V6, a 3.5L EcoBoost® V6, a 3.5L PowerBoost™ full hybrid V6, and a 5.0L V8. For those who want extreme performance, the Ford F‑150 Raptor R delivers up to 720 horsepower from its supercharged V8 engine.
The 2025 Ram 1500 has eliminated the HEMI V8 from its lineup and now features a turbocharged inline-six engine in two output levels. The standard version offers smooth acceleration and ample torque, while the high-output version provides performance that rivals larger V8s. The 2025 Ford F‑150 offers more choices across powertrains, including hybrid and high-performance options, while the 2025 Ram 1500 focuses on simplified turbocharged power.
Interior and Technology
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.
