Searching for a used pick-up? The Kelley Blue Book team suggests the F-150 - recently pitting the 2015 model against top-ranked competitors. In a grueling comparison of strength, this Ford platform proved to be the ultimate half-ton option for drivers: delivering class-leading towing and payload capabilities.
We, of course, already knew this.
According to KBB, the 2015 F-150 delivers long-lasting value. When placed in a hood-to-hood competition with the Dodge Ram, this platform proved superior - with its standard 3.5L V6 yielding 282 HP (6,250 RPMs) and 253 lb.-ft of torque (at 4,250 RPMs). Variable camshaft timing assures an impressive power-band, blending optimal air and fuel intakes; while the aluminum block boasts natural aspiration technology. A six-speed automatic transmission bolsters each response; and an integrated Tow/Haul function is essential on long-haul journeys, offering increased traction distribution to promote a steady ride.
When these technologies combine, they provide segment-leading performance - with the 2015 F-150 delivering 7,600 trailering pounds and 1,910 payload pounds. The Ram, comparatively, offers only 4,460 trailering pounds and 1,880 payload pounds.
The difference is clear.
