2021 RAM 1500 Overview

The big, bold, and luxurious Ram 1500 is back and better than ever before in its 2021 form. This truck has unparalleled interior luxury and a towing capacity that is the envy of just about any light duty pickup truck in America. The 2021 Ford F-150 packs a powerful punch on form and power, too, though, and in Salina Kansas, these two trucks make for a great competition. Our 2021 Ram 1500 vs 2021 Ford F-150 in Salina comparison review takes you inside and outside of both trucks so that you can decide for yourself which one is the champion. Marshall Motor Company reviews 3 specific categories where trucks usually compete. How do these two measure up to each other?

The 2021 RAM 1500 vs 2021 Ford F-150 in Salina begins where just about every pickup truck comparison should begin: with maximum towing capacity. When you buy a truck, you've got to have that serious pull power to get things done at work, on the farm, during camping trips, moves, and so much more. All trucks are serious workers. And when you've got a 2021 Ram 1500, you can work much harder. Its 12,750 pound max towing capacity bests the F-150's 11,600 pound towing capacity (for gas engines). On diesel, the Ram comes out ahead, too: 12,560 pound towing capacity compared to 11,500 pound diesel towing for the F-150. Both of these light duty pickup trucks mimic heavy duty trucks, but only one comes out ahead in Salina Kansas. If you want to pull more and have a larger payload, the Ram 1500 is the truck to buy.

Interior - 2021 RAM 1500 in Salina KS

You can call the interior of these two trucks an almost no contest. Ford's more limited color stitching on their leather seats means that the Ram just always comes out looking better on the inside. The Ram's 12-inch touchscreen infotainment system gets even more navigation and tow features this year, standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a suite of camera views to keep you steady as you go about your day's hardest work. The F-150 gets a larger touchscreen this year, too, as Ford finally realized it needed to do this in order to even keep competing with Ram's light duty champion. Where Ford falls short is in the limiting interior options. You can just customize the interior of the Ram 1500 more.

Ford's Co-Pilot360 will always be one of the most advanced driver-assist platforms, but Ram's moving on in this department, too. This year's 1500 gets a suite of new driver-assist features that include exclusive trailering features like Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross Path and Trailer Detection, Electronic Stability Control, and Electronic Roll Mitigation. Smart Braking Technology uses radars to keep everything on track while you're on the highway. Active braking on the Ram 1500 keeps a potential collision from becoming a tragedy by alerting you first and then braking itself if it needs to. And don't forget Guided Parking on the Ram model is finally here. Now your Ram 1500 can control steering to park itself and stay away from dangerous parking obstacles.
