The Epic Showdown Continues: 2020 Ram 1500 vs. 2020 Ford F-150

The Ram 1500 and the Ford F-150 have been engaged in an exciting showdown for decades, and the battle continues with their impressive 2020 models. These two full-size trucks are frequently viewed as top competitors thanks to their stellar reputations and time-tested abilities. However, as you prepare to finalize your purchase plans for a new full-size truck in Kernersville, you need to know how these two rivals stack up.

The Capabilities of Two Powerhouses

Whether you intend to use your next full-size truck for weekend toy hauling, for essential work activities during the week or for other purposes, one fact is clear. You need a truck that has the power and capabilities to live up to all of your needs. The 2020 Ram 1500 is available with four exciting powertrains across its trims. These include two designs for the 5.7-liter, HEMI V8 engine that both produce 395 horsepower. When this engine is paired with e-Torque, it has bolstered towing power that registers at 12,750 pounds. E-torque is also included with the 3.6-liter, Pentastar V6 engine. This powertrain generates 305 horsepower and can tow up to 7,730 pounds. The final engine available for the 2020 Ram 1500 is an Eco-Diesel V6, 3.0-liter engine that will impress you with a tow rating up to 12,560 pounds. Across the trim line, these powertrains may be mated to beefy transmissions, 4-wheel drive, traction control and other equipment that takes performance to new heights.

In comparison, the entry-level powertrain in many of the 2020 Ford F-150's trims is a 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine that produces 375 horsepower. The F-150 is available with a few other powertrain options as well. One of these is a 3.0-liter PowerStroke Turbo-Diesel engine that has a tow rating of 11,500 pounds. You should compare these and other powertrains and related standard and optional mechanical features closely before buying your new truck in Kernersville.

The Ability to Stay Safer on the Road

The Ram 1500 and the Ford F-150 are clearly different beasts on the road, and their differences extend to how well they can protect you and your passengers. All of the 2020 Ram 1500 trims are available with assistive technologies that can reduce the likelihood of an accident. These include rear cross-path detection, trailer detection, blind spot monitoring, lane departure sensing with mitigation, adaptive cruise control, advanced brake assist, parking assistance for parallel and perpendicular activity and other items. Some of the Ram 1500 trims are outfitted with other high-end safety equipment, and these are adaptive LED headlights, front crash prevention, a surround-view camera and more. More than that, 98 percent of the structure is comprised of high-strength steel.

The 2020 Ford F-150 is available with the Ford Co-Pilot 360 technologies in all trims. In addition, this truck may also be outfitted with airbags, anti-lock brakes, roll stability control, curve control, an active restraint system, available inflatable second-row seatbelts in SuperCrew options, a blind spot information system and trailer coverage. Higher trim levels carry a few other standard or available features.
