The 2018 Ford F-150 is America's best full-size pickup truck, and for good reason; this vehicle takes home the title of "Best-in-Class" for towing, payload, torque and more. The new F-150 shines both under the hood and inside the cabin thanks to engineering and design efforts that are smart, sophisticated, and steps ahead of the competition. Take a look below as we compare the 2018 Ford F-150 to another similar truck in its class, the 2018 Ram 1500, and see which brawny vehicle is right for you and your lifestyle.

When it comes to performance, you just can't beat the 2018 Ford F-150. As you can see from the table, this truck pulls out all the stops in terms of towing, hauling, and power. This is due to the new F-150's different engine selections, which offer drivers up to 6 engine options* depending on trim and drive habits. Compared to the Ram 1500's 3 engine options, the selections just don't cut it.
Not only is the new F-150 generally more powerful than the new Ram 1500, it also comes with plenty of class-exclusive features to really set it apart from the rest of the trucks in its segment. For example, a class-exclusive remote tailgate release lets you lock or unlock the tailgate with your key fob for easy loading and unloading. An available 360-degree camera with split-view display utilizes four different cameras to give you the ability to see every inch of the outside of your vehicle, which really comes in handy when backing up or maneuvering on trails. Finally, the class-exclusive Pro Trailer Backup Assist™ system lets you control which way your trailer goes by only turning on a knob on your dashboard.
