Performance

There are a lot of factors to consider when buying or leasing a new truck, but perhaps the most important thing to consider is the performance of the vehicle you're looking at. Luckily, both the new Ram 1500 and Ford F-150 are exceptional on and off the road. With a wide array of trims tailored to commuting, long days on the jobsite, and even off the beaten path adventures. Now, the Ram 1500 does have one key advantage on the performance front, which is its Active Level™ adaptive suspension system. This innovative feature makes for a much smoother ride in the new Ram 1500 than you'd typically enjoy with the new Ford F-150.

Seating

Both the new Ram 1500 and Ford F-150 have regular cab, extended cab, and crew cab options, so it's easy to find a truck with the space and seating you need. However, while most solo commuters will find the regular cab more than roomy enough for their needs, the Ram 1500 has been rated as more comfortable for rear seat passengers by the editors at Kelley Blue Book. So, if you're looking for a truck that's comfortable for running errands with family around the greater Concord area, the new Ram 1500 is the better bet.

Interior Amenities & Technology

Compare the interior features and tech of the new Ram 1500 and Ford F-150 and you'll find they're both pretty evenly matched. With multi-zone automatic climate control, a bevy of trim options, and even available heated and ventilated front seating to keep you comfortable through all seasons in the greater Sanford area, both the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150 are trucks you'll look forward to driving every day. The only major difference between the interiors of these two trucks is the infotainment systems the offer. The Ram 1500 comes outfitted with the intuitive UConnect suite, while the Ford F-150 has its Ford SYNC system. Many drivers have rated the UConnect system on the new Ram 1500 as easier to use than that of the Ford F-150, so if ease of connectivity is important to you, the Ram 1500 is the better bet overall.

CPO Warranty Coverage

The Ram 1500 is one of the best new trucks on the market, and it's a similarly compelling value proposition on the Certified Pre-Owned Market. With a superior Powertrain Limited Warranty coverage to that of the Ford F-150, the Certified Pre-Owned Ram 1500 is one of the most compelling value propositions on the market for Dover drivers.
