Ford F-150, Ram 1500 and Chevy Silverado: Battle for Pickup Truck Supremacy | Edmunds Video

Director of Testing Dan Edmunds, Staff Writer Travis Langness and Special Correspondent Elana Scherr put America's top-selling vehicles through the ringer. We test the Chevrolet Silverado, Ford F-150 and Ram 1500 at the track, break down the differences between the interiors and even load an ATV into each truck's bed. We drove them in the city, drove them on the highway, towed a big Airstream trailer, and spent hundreds of miles behind the wheel of all three trucks to see which one comes out on top. Will the top-rated Ram 1500, the best-selling Ford F-150, or will the all-new Chevy Silverado be the new champ?

Q: What's under the hood?
A: The Ram 1500 we used for this test has a 5.7-liter V8 (395 horsepower, 410 lb-ft of torque). The F-150 we tested had Ford's 3.5-liter turbocharged V6 (375 hp, 470 lb-ft). The Chevy Silverado in our test came with the 5.3-liter V8 (355 hp, 383 lb-ft).

Q: Which truck is the quickest to 60 mph?
A: Of the three trucks we tested, the Ford F-150 was the quickest. It did the 0-60 mph sprint in just 6.2 seconds. The Ram 1500 was second with a time of 6.5 seconds, while the Silverado came in at 7.0 seconds. Notably, the Silverado was equipped with the 5.3-liter V8 rather than the range-topping 6.2-liter engine. In previous tests, a last-gen Silverado with the 6.2-liter was capable of hitting 60 mph in 6.4 seconds.

Q: Which one is the best truck? The Silverado, the Ram or the F-150?
A: In our test, we found that the Ram edged out the F-150 and the Silverado in almost every category. The interior quality, powertrain and comfort were all excellent. The Silverado and the F-150 still have a lot going for them, but if it were our money, we'd pick the Ram.

“The mirrors are too big on the ford” well that’s what happens when you get tow mirrors

[kayakdog]

These automatic tailgates are great for men who have just had their nails polished. Geez.

[reesekegley]

Best ram commercial I've ever seen

[japhethbonnema]

This is a truck review made by non pickup truck drivers

[RossLemon]

"My particular truck wasn't chosen as the favorite so this review is automatically invalid."

I was always a Chevy man, and 2 days ago I bought an F-150. I loved it the second I mashed that accelerator down, The ecoboost is something special. The Chevy just made it to difficult to option out the truck without having to spend a fortune. You can get an F-150 base model XL with the STX package and almost all the new modern features you'd want, And it has the best appearance of all the F-150's in my opinion. No chrome, everything color matched to the body, and nice 20 inch wheels. Didn't even have to rob a bank. The Ram was a close contender, but I test drove 3 of them, and all of them had horrible a/c. It just wouldn't get cold enough. After ten minutes in the Chevy and the Ford I had to turn the a/c to low, The Ram I would've had to keep it high forever I think. And living in Florida a/c quickly becomes a top priority.

If you don’t know what your talking about then don’t review trucks. This video is filled with lack of knowledge. That lady said the ecoboost hesitates bc of the transmission, no girl it’s turbo lag :/

[aabo]

"For me, this truck feels too big".... At this point the video becomes entertainment instead of informative.

[danielcollins]

Why the hells he hitting the ramps so fast with the four wheeler. You will bust out that back window.

[stevegovea]

...he said...Ram Laramie truck not too expensive...
You Rich...

[adrenalinehigh]

Hahaha “I already hit a bush with the mirrors”.
Hahaha that’s too much truck for you honey! Next time retract the POWER EXTENDING mirrors!!!!

[simeonwitmer]

Funny how everyone thinks truck reviews are sponsored by Ram just because the reviewers like the new 5th gen so much..

[flmoseley]

Give me the one with the best price. I ain't paying no 60 grand for a truck with no bed

[jacktracy]

Not sure when interior details and steering became more important than engine and transmission.

[triniexr]

As Dan Edmunds said in the beginning, he's a fan of the Ram and this whole video was Ram biased.

[mxer]

Absolutely blown away by my 19 Ram. Amazing truck.

[dallasryder]

These reviewers are the types to never have changed a tire in their lives. They'd be the fist to go back, to having someone else fill up their gas too.

[joshlira]

Power up/down tailgate good Lord people have got lazy

[TGTR.]

At last, chevy, ford, and dodge people can all agree on a video about trucks

[jthompson]

I'll never understand how a power tail gate is a plus. I like closing my tail gate, something truck like about it.
