Description

What happened to the V8s? We’ve got two new trucks that make big power and torque without a V8, so you know we’re going to put them to the test. 0-60 mph acceleration, towing, utility, comfort, tech, interior space and quality: We compare the high-power 2025 Ram Tungsten with its turbocharged Hurricane engine and the 2025 Ford F-150 King Ranch with the hybrid PowerBoost V6 engine. Edmund’s Brian Wong covers everything you need to know about these two luxury workhorses, and which one is the best truck. 00:00 - Intro 00:26 - Trim Levels and Engines 00:52 - Ram Powertrain 01:26 - Ram 0-60 Speed 02:20 - Ram Suspension and Feel 03:02 - Ford Powertrain 03:42 - Fuel Economy Comparison 04:00 - Braking Comparison 04:16 - Ride Quality Comparison 04:38 - Driving Scores 04:47 - Technology Comparison 05:19 - Hands-free Driving 05:47 - Hands-free System Pricing 06:38 - Ram In-cabin Technology 07:56 - Ford In-cabin Technology 08:53 - Technology Scores 09:03 - Ram Interior 10:16 - Ford Interior 10:48 - Pricing Comparison 11:07 - Interior Scores 11:15 - Rear Seats 11:42 - Cargo and Storage Comparison 11:53 - Interior Storage 12:56 - Flatbeds 13:40 - Payload and Trailer Hookup 15:09 - Towing Experiences 17:41 - Towing Scores 18:07 - Overall Utility Scores 18:15 - Edmunds Rating and Conclusion Subscribe to Edmunds https://www.youtube.com/user/edmundsvideo?sub_confirmation=1 for the latest car news, car reviews, car comparisons, car shopping and advice.

I love that Ram trims out the window bezel on the interior facing side of the doors. Note the visible red paint around the Ford's side windows from the interior, with the doors closed. Yuk. My beef with the interior of the new-ish Ram's interior is that the super handy upper glove box has been replaced with a stupid touch screen. The upper box still exists on lower trim trucks, but not even an option on Longhorn or Tungsten. A no-cost "Passenger Infotainment Screen Delete" option should be available to buyers. ARGHH!!!

Great overview. Last week, I drove a 2021 Ram Limited with the sea salt interior. Absolutely beautiful interior. I have been driving BMW M Sports for many, many years. The Ram 1500 Limited with the Hemi blew me away with acceleration, comfort, ride quality, low cabin noise, handling, and looks.

I like the look of the Ram , fit and finish are good. Seems most mechanics I speak to rate them poorly. The main reason I will stay with Ford is the aluminum body. I live in Maine where the only part of a vehicle that doesn’t rust is the tires. That is an area I can say the trucks I see rusting badly the fastest in my area are the Ram trucks. My F150 is 8 years old and I do try to take care of it , keeping it clean in the winter getting as much salt off as possible. There is Zero rust on my truck. So for me aluminum is the deciding factor.

Both of these refreshed full-size pickups were impressive, but in different ways. The Ram's interior and performance stood out, while the Ford's utility and smart cargo/bed solutions made it a true workhorse. It's rare that we end up with a comparison that's so neck-and-neck, but each truck has distinct strengths. So which camp do you fall into, team Ford or team Ram? Let us know in the comments below!

Outstanding review in every way. I watched five reviews on this very truck comparison. This was by far the best one. All in under twenty minuets. I subscribed, keep up the good work.

I added slotted brake rotors to my Ram 1500. Huge improvement.
