Tfl gets me through my day. Thanks guys

The best bargain option on the Ford is the $750 for the 7.2 kw generator that you could use to power your house during a power outage assuming you are set up for that. You can pay more than that for a similar power portable emergency generator and that portable generator noisier.

The active park seems like more work than actually parking.

[Sir.VicsMasher]

7:10 Most people in my neck of the woods with $70k trucks use them for their business and afford it through the write off.

The payload on the Ram is only 1000 lbs. With 4 people in the cab it doesn’t leave very much to haul in the bed.

[velocitygamingretro]

The price point should've gone to the ford. Just the fact that you have that onboard generator. Pays for itself. Generators alone are not cheap and the fact that you dont have haul one around. Is a big plus and yes you can power your home with the generator. During the winter freeze here in texas. Ford owners ran their homes for up to 3 days with the generator. Fridge, TV, fans lights and all.

I like both trucks, but the power, payload/towing, generator etc. Have me sold. Love the generator. Being able to use power tools in the middle of a field of what not would be nice.

[Kingswood]

As much as I love me some rams/dodges, ford offers more payload/towing and $71k seems more justifiable with it's full hybrid system. They're both awesome trucks that I'll never be able to afford. :)

[JoshuaBurton]

I love my RAM but gotta hand it to Ford on this one.

[sixosixo]

Great test, except you should have split the point on the price.. $100 isn’t enough to warrant a stage win.

[Matticus]

I'm 27 seconds into the video and I can already tell you I'll take the Ford all day, every day, and twice on Sunday. I'm not biased at all

The "Killer Feature" that nails it for FORD F-150 being the winner is the 7200 Watt onboard generator option!

In Texas, during that Winter 2021 severe cold snap, Ford made this truck available for locals to power their households and 7200 watts FULL LOAD for between 24 hours to 36 hours per fuel up can EASILY power the average U.S. household of Fridge/Freezer, Microwave, TV, Desktop Computer Systems, laptops, routers, Satellite TV system, phones, lights and 150 watt space heater!

That feature alone when bought with an ELECTRICAL SHUNT CIRCUIT BOX allows you to SAFELY reroute the truck power BACK INTO your home during any power outages so that your truck becomes an AWESOME home generator!

That one feature of 7200 Watt on-board quiet generator option alone makes the Ford F-150 the CLEAR WINNER in my opinion!

---

For those of you not familiar with the capabilities of this 7200 watt power supply option, one of my Northern Canada friends went up to his northern Alberta and Northern British Columbia winter lake/river ice fishing expedition area for almost THREE FULL MONTHS with one of the first F-150's with the 7200 watt power option that came to Canada!

He bought himself an in-bed fuel tank (250 litres - 65 gallons) that allowed him to run his space heater, microwave, 55 inch flatscreen 4K TV, x-Box gaming system, Satellite Internet/TV system, portable fridge/cooler, his laptop and phones and a long-range shortwave/VHF radio for 4 to 6+ hours per day for WEEKS ON END! He only had to go into town for a fill-up TWICE.

Many modern appliances are VERY efficient so that 7200 watts will last a TIME if you use them for between 4 to 6 hours per day !

He stayed in his -40 Celcius and colder insulated tent for three whole months with it's fancy inflatable bed, couch and full portable country kitchen by merely changing the river or lake he went ice fishing on. That Ford F-150 7200 watt generator option kept him safe and sound away from the crazy Covid pandemic world all that time without a hiccup even in the coldest North Canadian Winter! He enjoyed all of life's modern comforts FOR THREE MONTHS in the middle of winter and merely had to get some local fuel and food TWICE during that entire time period! My friend and his faithful companion dog both looked very well-rested, well-fed and very comfortable when they finally did come back to the big city after those three months!

For Armageddon and the Zombie Apocolypse, that F-150 is a REAL good bargain to keep yourself comfortable in times of crisis!

Again, I ALSO SUGGEST buying a SAFE TRUCK-TO-HOUSE electrical SHUNT circuit box and an extra 250 litre in-truck-bed fuel box to allow you the range and power supply option to last WEEKS at a time if you get the most power-efficient appliances and personal electronics!

Great video! A little irked that a $100 MSRP price difference got the RAM a point when other items like towing/payload or MPG which are way bigger long term issues than $100 were also only worth a point. If you got the 3.92 rear on the RAM to make it more comparable, I suspect that would bridge $100 easy.

Guys, you guys are to be congratulated, I'm a big fan of the channel .. I love truck drivers, my favorite is the f150 raptor.
As a Brazilian we do not have all large trucks in our market, only RAM ...
I lived in the USA for 01 year and I miss these giants ...

[BigBadJohnDiesel]

When it comes to diesels, I'm a Cummins guy! However, if I had to downgrade to a half ton, I'd get a Ford! They have better engine choices and trims!

[kevinvojta]

I just bought a 2021 Ram 1500 LongHorn. The same color but with the Black and Saddle interior.

[georgeristo]

I know it's a different package for more towing on the ram just can't wrap my head around a 71k truck being able to tow as much as a Colorado

[simonvance]

Love them both but would get the Ford, love that 26 mpg and the reclining seats!.. a truck that ‘parks better on it’s own’ is a ridiculous selling point.. if you can’t reverse a truck you shouldn’t be driving one.. technology these days is more and more just catering to people’s laziness.. great video as always, cheers guys...

[Skankhunt]

I’m a die hard Chevy guy but I would probably take the ram... the 2021 ram is a great looking truck.

That was very generous to call that a tie lol
