Are you ready to feel the ground quake beneath your feet as you conquer all types of different terrain? The Ford F-250 and the Ram 2500 are ready to take your adventures to new heights, with powerful engines to back them up.
Both models have powerful engines beneath their hoods. However, did you know the Ford F-250 can offer more power and additional options? With four engines compared to the two found in the Ram, the Ford has a more diverse setup.
Ford engines
- 6.8L V8 engine: 405 horsepower and 445 lb-ft of torque when paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission
- 7.3L V8 engine: 430 horsepower and 485 lb-ft of torque when paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission
- 6.7L Power Stroke® V8 Turbo Diesel engine: 475 horsepower and 1,050 lb-ft of torque when paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission
- 6.7L HO Power Stroke® V8 Turbo Diesel engine: 500 horsepower and 1,200 lb-ft of torque when paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission
With three of those engines, the Ford has an advantage over both available engines of the Ram 2500. The standard 6.4L HEMI® V8 engine of the Ram delivers up to 410 horsepower and 429 lb-ft of torque. If you opt for the Ram 2500’s available 6.7L Cummins® Turbo Diesel I-6 engine, the truck only reaches 370 horsepower and 850 lb-ft of torque. What does that mean for you?
The Ford F-250 has more power than the Ram 2500. You’ll have greater acceleration and be able to handle larger payloads and heavier trailers because of its engine strength.
No matter which truck you choose, you can tow a ton of weight at one time. You can hitch up even the largest camper trailer and see these pickups perform at their best. Both trucks will be able to handle family adventures, work materials, and more.
When it comes to towing, the Ford F-250 has a maximum tow rating of 22,000 pounds when properly equipped, overcoming the 19,980 pounds the Ram provides.
The bed of the F-250 can also handle a bit more weight, as the vehicle has a maximum available payload of 4,302 pounds when properly equipped compared to the 4,000 pounds you’d get with the Ram.
If you’re looking for a truck that works smarter and harder, the F-250 is for you. It brings a long list of towing technology to the job to make your life even easier. It starts with the available Onboard Scales. Do you want to make certain that the brickyard gave you the right amount of material? This feature will estimate the weight and balance in the bed.
Pro Trailer Backup Assist is also available. It makes backing up your trailer as easy as turning a dial. Simply turn it in the direction you want it to go, and your F-250 will handle the steering.
Regardless of where you are and where you’re headed, it’s more important than ever to stay connected to your digital world. A reliable coworker has both brains and brawn. Let’s find out which one of these trucks has both.
In addition to a stronger engine and frame, the F-250 also provides an edge in technology. The cabin of the Ford truck wields features such as:
- Available wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™
- Standard 5G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot
- Available cloud-connected navigation options
- Available 12-inch LCD touchscreen
The Ram 2500 does offer a 12-inch touchscreen and wireless phone integration. It falls short, however, in the Wi-Fi department. Its hotspot is only available with higher trim levels and is only capable of 4G speeds.
The 5G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot in the F-250 makes it easier to check purchase orders, see which local spots can provide your work crew with lunch, and plot your route home.
