Ram vs Ford Interiors: Cabins Fit for a King

Even the longest workday or road trip goes by quickly in a vehicle as comfy as these Ram and Ford trucks. Both have ample space for adults in the front and rear seats. The Ram 1500 even offers available reclining rear seats, so comfort never takes a backseat for your rearmost riders.

When it comes to quality, the Ram truck’s redesign sets it apart from its Ford competition. The Ram 1500 Limited features 58 percent more leather than Ford, making for more soft-touch surfaces and classy good looks. Its Natura Plus leather seats in Indigo/Light Frost Beige are stylish and refined.  

From the Black Argent open-pore wood accents on the dashboard to the solid wood upper glove box, the Ram 1500 puts a premium on quality. You won’t find features like these on the Ford F-150.

Technology: A More Connected Daily Drive

At their most advanced, the multimedia systems in the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150 make infotainment feel more seamless than ever. The Ram truck’s Uconnect® and its Ford competitor offer navigation and smartphone connectivity on the big screen.

Exactly how big is that screen? The Ram 1500 sports an incredible 12-inch touchscreen that can be fully customized. You can even choose a split-screen setup and show maps on the upper half and audio on the lower! Meanwhile, the Ford system’s smaller, 8-inch screen lacks the same level of personalization.

These trucks let you plug into your music like never before. The Harman Kardon® Audio System in the Ram 1500 offers 19 speakers and an earth-shattering 900 watts of power!  

An Efficient & Balanced Drive

For more efficient adventures, the Ram and Ford trucks have you covered. Their fuel-sipping engines can keep you away from the pump, longer. You’ll see an EPA-estimated 20 city/25 highway MPG on the base Ram 1500. The base Ford F-150 clocks in with an EPA-estimated 19 city/25 highway MPG.

Both trucks come standard with rear-wheel drive. If you want more traction when the roads get snowy or icy, four-wheel drive is available. Test drivers, though, have found that the redesigned Ram offers more refined handling and a smoother ride.

Add the available Active-Level™ Four-Corner Air Suspension and enjoy less drag and greater efficiency in the Ram 1500!
