2021 Ram 1500 vs. 2021 Ford F-150: The Ultimate Competition

The Ram 1500 is the go-to truck for our Norwich drivers. It is hard to choose between two vehicles that are so similar. But with its power, space, and safety features, the Ram 1500 holds several advantages over the 2021 Ford F-150. Below, we take a look at the differences between the 2021 Ram 1550 and the 2021 Ford F-150.

Performance and Trim Levels

The 2021 Ram 1500 comes in eight different trim levels that offer their own features, while the 2021 Ford F-150 only comes in six trim levels that are pretty similar. The eight trim levels on the Ram 1500 include:

• Tradesman
• Big Horn
• Rebel
• Laramie
• Long Horn
• Limited
• TRX

Options are very important when buying a new vehicle. The Ram 1500 having more trim levels than the Ford F-150 gives you more of a chance to get exactly what you want without compromise.

Interior Features

All of the storage configurations make packing cargo in your truck better in the Ram 1500 than in the Ford F-150. If you have more luggage or large furniture you are lugging around, use the 60/40 split flat-folding seats to max the cargo space out at 151.1 cubic feet. The Ram 1500 also has available in-floor cargo storage bins for even more space, and wide-opening doors make getting cargo in and out of the vehicle easier.

Your passengers have more stretching space in the Ram 1500, with 45.1 inches of legroom in the rear seats. The available leather upholstery also gives more comfort to you and your passengers. But during those muggy summers, the ventilated front seats keep you cool. If you are going on long drives out of Norwich, your passengers can take a quick nap with the available reclining rear seats.

The Ram 1500 minimizes the noise from the road and elements in the cabin for a quieter drive than the Ford F-150.

Modern Technology

No drive to the grocery store is complete without some entertainment. While both trucks have an entertainment touchscreen, the 2021 Ram 1500 has more size options, so you can get a screen that is big enough to be able to see but not too big that it will distract you from driving. This touchscreen can give you navigational directions and or show you the weather before you hit the road.

The Ram 1500 also has the ability to connect to your smartphones with the standard Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. With this feature, you can listen to your favorite music, use your apps, or safely call someone in your contacts through your truck. Rock out harder on trips out of Concord in the Ram 1500 than in the Ford F-150 with the six-speaker audio system.

Advanced Safety Features

Modern technology also lends itself to more advanced safety features. We know safety is a big deal to you. You need to feel safe while behind the wheel of a vehicle as big as a truck. Both the 2021 Ram 1500 and the 2021 Ford F-150 have a wide range of safety features, but the Ram 1500 has more. Some of these standard and available advanced safety features include:

• Trailer sway damping
• Forward collision mitigation
• Blind spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert
• Lane keeping assist
• Adaptive cruise control
• Surround-view camera system
