Engine Performance
2025 RAM 1500
With three engine options, the 2025 Ram 1500 emphasizes versatility and modern efficiency. The 3.0L Hurricane High-Output Turbo I6 tops the lineup, delivering 540 hp and 521 lb-ft of torque, and it’s perfect for towing heavy trailers or navigating rural backroads. Paired with a 8-speed automatic transmission, this turbocharged engine is ideal for drivers who need reliable performance.
2025 Ford F-150
The 2025 Ford F-150 offers six engine choices, including the 5.2L Supercharged V8 that produces 720 hp and 640 lb-ft of torque. Even though it's impressive on paper, this engine is for extreme off-roading and high-speed thrills, not practical daily use. The drawbacks? Higher fuel consumption, premium fuel requirements, and increased maintenance costs.
Towing Capability
2025 RAM 1500
The 2025 Ram 1500 boasts a max towing capacity of 11,560 lbs (5,243 kg), supported by advanced features like Trailer Reverse Guidance and a 360-degree camera system to simplify maneuvering heavy loads. Its torque-rich Hurricane engine delivers steady power, and the Active-Level Four-Corner Air Suspension automatically adjusts to keep your trailer stable.
2025 Ford F-150
The 2025 Ford F-150 takes the crown with a max towing capacity of 13,500 lbs (6,123 kg). Its high-output engines and solid frame excel at brute-force hauling, but the F-150 lacks Ram’s advanced towing aids. While Ford’s Pro Trailer Assist helps novices, its system relies more on driver input compared to Ram’s assist techs.
