In the battle for payload performance two competitors loom - the 2021 Ford F-150 and the 2021 Ram 1500. Both promise exceptional strength, allowing Alberta drivers to confidently respond to every work-site demand; but only one can prove the ultimate half-ton option.
After extensive testing, Auto Evolution discovered that the new F-150 delivered superior strength to the 1500 in both towing and payload capabilities:
Ford F-150
Maximum Trailering: 6,350-kg (14,000 pounds)
Maximum Payload: 1,508-kg (3,325 pounds)
Ram 1500
Maximum Trailering: 5,783-kg (12,759 pounds)
Maximum Payload: 1,043-kg (2,300 pounds)
To achieve such high ratings, Ford pairs its F-150 with a 3.5L V6 engine. This suite - which generates 400 HP and 500 lb.-ft of torque - assures dynamic performance. Roller finger followers enhance sequencing, while port-fuel and direct-injection systems optimize resource delivery. Additionally, a 10-speed automatic transmission (complete with three overdrive gears and wide spacing) affords crisp control. Through this, the truck can effortlessly dominate its 1500 competitor.
