Anyone else notice the dashboard trim on the F150 misaligned and sticking up?

The Ram 1500 looks and drives so much better than the F150. The Ram looks a generation ahead of the F150 even though the F150 is the newest product here. No question the Ram is my choice.

[BenMarar]

RAM for life! The refinement and comfort ram has is unbeatable. F150 with its Amish Wagon rare suspension will never ride as RAM.

[carlandrews]

I prefer the F150. I work on enough Rams.

Wow, sorry but Ram fan boys (and girls) are crazy. I am not saying the Ram is a bad truck (it’s not, I owned a 2019 and traded it for a 21 F150) but to say things like the Ram has better storage options because it has the bed side lockable storage, well the F150 has lockable storage under the back seat (push) Fords built in tailgate step is much better than the little pop out bumper step if for no other reason because it’s larger (more confident about your foot hold) and it has something to hold on for a better, safer climb into the bed that the Ram just doesn’t have. Rams barn door gate does nothing for me. but power down and up on the Ford is convenient when walking to the truck with an arm load. And the 7.2 kw generator (the biggest reason for my trade in) is amazing. Yet these two gave the nod to the Ram in outside features? Me thinks there is something wrong there. Why didn’t they compare limited to limited? They did hit on the biggest thing that so many miss, the Ram in a fair comparison with the same features is much more expensive, the Ford includes far more features in the package price. The Hybrid Ford does get much better mileage epa 24 city and highway I live in the mountains with regular unleaded gas I average 22-23 combined but 25+ with premium. With part time towing over 4K miles that drops to 19.8 combined with regular unleaded. So Ram can’t compete with gas mileage either. As for comfort, the Rams air suspension is a softer ride (but not by that much) but the Fords seats are more comfortable. Add that no vehicle I know of over the long run that had air suspension haven’t had very expensive repaired due to rubber deterioration from heat and road salt etc. Over time the Rams suspension will become a financial nightmare. Add to the Ford the massaging seats and all the driving assist features including anytime now the blue cruise that literally drives for you on the freeway without the need for your hands on the steering wheel, the Ford is a much better long distance cruiser IMHO. I will admit that interior and exterior styling is subjective but I think both look great in and out.
For me, over all with all the new features that the Ram just doesn’t offer, there is no comparison. Winner Ford.
By the way, for those shocked at the price they are Canadian so they are quoting Canadian dollars not US dollars

I prefer the Ram, although I do agree the Ford feels a little bigger for big guys especially in the front seats.

[MrLew]

After I drove the Ram with Air Ride..It is the truck !!

[billblonco]

The fit and finish is way better on the Ram. Ford still needs to get those panel gaps situated. We will see how these two hold up in the long.

[sundayadickson]

It would've been fare if you had compared 'apples to apples' as both trims are not the same, am I right?

[leedanielson]

RAM without question the better overall

[arseniboston]

Wow you dont like the interior styling? You do understand that ther is a limited ram. And if you did not like it then its your personal opinion.

[baselqashou]

FORD is way better than ram. The seats of the FORD is better

[bikingwithryan]

The western theme is just in the long horn. Can’t really say that when you can get a limited.

[charlie-qmgz]

I must Must agree I like the Ford a little better than the dodge but I wish that they would take, a couple of feature from the dodge like and incorporate them into the Ford the heads up display, the rear view mirror that turns into a camera, and works box’s in the fender and the split tailgate and last the air shock the would make the power boost top dog and I think that would make all the difference in Choosing the Ford over ram it would have all the bell and Whistles purchased 2021 F150 limited antimatter blue . power boost fully loaded for $79, 000 dollars with a 3, 600 rebate but that’s is over the boarder in us

[kilian]

Omg. This guy has a problem with his speaking. The inflictions on his voice going up and down and slow is beyond annoying. I appreciate the comparison but I’d rather see a different guy. Jody was good though.

[tedstogianos]

Ford all can't compare to the quality of Ford....
