In America, these three pickup trucks soar high above the rest most years, and for the 2022 model year the RAM 1500 and Ford F-150 claim the top two spots in popularity according to a lot of publications, including Edmunds.

Powertrain Comparison

Both pickup trucks offer several different powertrain options to choose from, including hybrids. For Ford, this includes a trio of gas-powered V6 engines, a hybrid-electric V6, and a gas-powered V8. For the RAM 1500, there are five options from which to choose, including a gas-powered V6 with eTorque, a gas-powered V8 with eTorque or without it, a turbo-diesel V6 and TRX-exclusive supercharged V8. If you’re looking for a fuel-efficient truck, the RAM turbo-diesel option is going to be your best bet, while the 1500 TRX will offer the most powerful option across the two models.

Towing & Payload

How much the truck can haul, both in terms of the truck bed and by adding a trailer to the mix, depends on a multitude of factors. We’d be here all day if we went over every single configuration both of these trucks have, so let’s just talk about some maximums. For the F-150, drivers will be able to tow up to 14,000 lbs with a turbo V6 or 13,000 lbs. with the V8, while offering maximum payloads of just under 3,000 lbs. Unfortunately, the RAM 1500 V* models top out at 11,520 lbs. towing and under 2,000 lbs. payload.
