2021 Ford F-150 EcoBoost vs Ram HEMI | DRAG + ROLL RACE

We're back at it again with another drag race featuring the 2021 Ford F-150 Platinum 3.5L EcoBoost V6 engine against the RAM Big Horn 5.7L Hemi V8. Make sure to watch until the end of the video to see how the 2.7L EcoBoost motor from Ford does against the V8 as well.

Hemi vs EcoBoost? Which one do you want?

[Birds-Garage]

How gently did you guys ease into the throttle on both Ecoboosts? Gotta be the softest launches I've ever seen out of a 2.7 or a 3.5.

[msalazar]

The 2.7 wasn't in sport mode, makes a big difference

[seanmclaughlin]

Run premium fuel and sport mode in the ecoboost and then see the results (if you didn't do this already) The 2.7 does not look like it is running to its capability.

[jgs]

The 3.5 L eco boast is a beast. The twin turbos really put out horsepower.

[rickeyb]

3.5L EcoBoost for sure! Got one in my Gen 2 Raptor. It doesn’t sound as good as a Hemi but I can’t hear a Hemi when it’s behind me so it evens out. 🤙🏿

[josemonjaras]

I have an ecoboost and I love it to death. I’ll be the one to admit I wish we ecoboost guys could live up to the amazing sound of the hemi but power wise I cannot complain!

[freedomisntfree_]

I dogged the ecoboost until I drove it, then in 2015 the 2.7 came out and I was like, ok there’s no way this ones fast it’s gotta be a fuel economy turd and I drove it too and was very impressed.

[theupscale]

What rear end do you have in the RAM? the 3.21 or 3.92?

[ThatGuy-kffo]

I’ve found my 2020 Hemi feels noticeably stronger on premium fuel, I’m sure the Ecoboost would as well. My buddy has a 5.0 10-speed F150 that’s a decent amount quicker than my truck.

[mandizzlesrt]

Somethings not right here. That 3.5 eco is way faster then a hemi.

[charliejonesjr]

My friend. I have both. A 20 hemi ram not even loaded and a 21 ecoboost loaded. Its not even in the same ballpark. The Ford puts bus lengths on the dodge. Idk how that outcome came to be. The first race was even too close from my own Experience.

[gutierrezc]

Axle ratios are hugely important. Do you know what each truck has?

[rhino]

For a guy that's racing in his own Ram, you seem to be rooting for the Fords LOL

[cupsandcounting]

After having owned several 2.7's, the older ones had more get up and go than the 20-21 models. Ford has done something to this motor, it is slower.

[johnwilliams]

Great vid! Did the EcoBoost motors have premium fuel and in sport mode?

[kevinbreese]

That's the heaviest "Platinum" version you are racing, and stock EB's go a bit flat up top. I'd love to join the race in my 2018 5.0 10-sp XLT Supercrew, running E85. Has a really strong top-end. It just keeps pulling and pulling

[Treyk]

Was that the PowerBoost or just the regular 3.5 Ecoboost? Also, what rear end do these trucks have?

[Vanjrl]

I would have really liked to have seen the 5.0 as well. Not because I think it would win, but I wanted to see how it paired. Great race and good times.

[jlor]

Somethings not right here. I own both a 2015 Hemi Express 8sp with 3.92s and a 2018 2.7l STX 10sp with 3.55s. The ford walks the Ram up until at least 60 mph. I can see the Hemi taking it on a rolling (40-50mph) start though.
