2013 Ford F-150 vs 2013 RAM 1500

The Ford F-150 has been the best selling truck in America for 36 years however occasionally another truck attempts to challenge the top spot. This is a comparison of the 2013 Ford F-150 and the 2013 RAM 1500. When you decide visit Randall Reed’s Planet Ford (serving Atascocita, Kingwood, Cypress, Huffman, Conroe and greater Houston area) or take a short drive to 19000 Eastex Fwy‎ Humble, TX 77338.

The RAM 1500 is available with five grill options and nine different trims. Another new feature is the car-like rotary dial that shifts gears as well as the air-leveling suspension system. The 3.6L V-6 can only tow 6500 LBS with a maximum payload of 1524 LBS while delivering 305 horsepower and 269 pound foot of torque. (cars.findthebest.com)

The Ford F-150 has 10 available trims with its twin engine EcoBoost V-6 that produces 365 horsepower (16% more than the average for all Pickup Trucks) with 420 pound-feet of torque (15% more than the average for all Pickups).
