The new Ford F-150 is just like our founder and namesake, basketball legend Karl Malone: It always delivers. The F-150 has been the most popular full-size pickup in America for an unprecedented 48 years in a row and Ford isn't letting its foot off the gas. Of course, we recognize that you might have another good pickup like the Ram 1500 on your radar. So here's a comparison of these two capable trucks and why you'll want to buy a Ford F-150 at Karl Malone Ford Park City in Park City, UT.

A comparison of engine options in Ford trucks for sale near Morgan, UT
The Ford F-150 wins right out of the gate because Ford choices include powerful V8 engines while, the Ram 1500 doesn't offer an eight-cylinder engine, so you'd have to settle for a V6. Ford's base engine is a twin-turbocharged 2.7-liter unit that generates 325 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque. The comparable Ram 3.6-liter V-6 comes up short of the F-150, since the Ram's V6 gives you only 305 horsepower and 269 pound-feet of torque.
In addition, the F-150 offers a twin-turbocharged V-6 that's capable of 400 horsepower and 510 pound-feet of torque. There's also a hybrid version with 430 horsepower and 570 pound-feet of torque. The high-output version of the F-150's twin-turbo V-6 can crank out 450 horsepower and 510 pound-feet of torque. If you want the most muscular option, Ford offers a 720-horsepower V-8 and 640 pound-feet of torque. On that front, the Ram 1500 comes up short again because the most it can offer is a twin-turbo six-cylinder with only 540 horsepower and 521 pound-feet of torque. So in this first head-to-head competition, the Ford F-150 takes the flag.
A comparison of towing, payload and pricing in Ford trucks for sale near Evanston, WY
Once again, the F-150 is the clear winner in terms of towing and payload. Its maximum towing capacity is 13,500 pounds, which is the most in the full-size pickup class. Meanwhile, the Ram falls short again because the most it can manage is an under-achieving 11,580 pounds. When it comes to payload, the Ford can haul 2,445 pounds, while the Ram can't quite measure up with only 2,300 pounds of payload. Both trucks can be equipped with a range of towing-assist features, including trailer brakes, improved hitches, towing cameras.
At this point, with the Ford F-150 coming out ahead in so many important ways, you'd think it would be much more expensive. But happily enough for you (and sadly enough for Ram), the Ford F-150 costs thousands of dollars less than comparable Ram 1500 models. The F-150 has a starting price of around $39,700 and tops out at about $77,500. The lowest starting price in the Ram 1500 is about $42,400 and at the high end, the starting price is a very expensive $89,200. So when it comes to value, the Ford F-150 is the money-saving champ.
A comparison of interiors and technology in Ford trucks for sale near Heber City, UT
The 2025 Ford F-150 sets a high bar for pickup interiors, thanks to its practical technology and thoughtful design. The F-150 comes with a standard 12-inch touch screen that includes wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. Higher trim levels like the King Ranch, Platinum and Raptor provide you with the luxury of leather upholstery, genuine wood trim and even available massaging seats. The Ram 1500 has a number of appealing interior features as well, but the F-150 does a better job of integrating technology across the lineup.
A comparison of safety features
The 2025 Ford F-150 puts a high priority on safety. That includes forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assist and blind-spot monitoring. What's more, Ford has an advanced camera system that can give you specialized towing assistance features that help you operate with a higher level of confidence. It also comes with intelligent technologies that work actively to help you maintain stability and control. Another valuable Ford advantage: The Ram 1500 doesn't offer a blind-spot monitoring feature for towing while the Ford F-150 does.
