The RAM 1500 vs. the Competition

Towing

<p>While all three full-size trucks offer outstanding towing capacity, the Ram 1500 stands out with a more stable, easy-to-use, and comfortable approach. The latest Ram 1500 can tow up to 12,750 pounds when properly equipped, offering Trailer Reverse Steering Control, an integrated Trailer Brake Controller, and a built-in trailer tire pressure monitoring sensor. Active-leveling suspension is a major benefit to choosing the Ram 1500 for towing, as this system helps drivers maintain a consistent ride height, even when hauling heavier loads. The Ford F-150 offers maximum towing capacity in its class, but can sacrifice overall comfort for heavy loads, while the Chevy Silverado 1500 offers strong diesel torque for long-distance towing but falls short of the Ram 1500 when it comes to overall towing capacity.</p>​

Interior and Technology

The new Ram 1500 sets the standard for cabin comfort in a full-size pickup truck, especially with higher-level trims. Available features like a 14.5-inch Uconnect infotainment touchscreen, a 12.3-inch digital instrument panel, and a dual-pane panoramic sunroof offer another level of convenience and luxury. Class-leading rear-seat legroom makes the Ram 1500 a standout when it comes to accommodating extra passengers, as the Ford F-150 and Chevy Silverado 1500 will feel cramped in comparison.

Safety and Driver-Assist Features

The new Ram 1500 offers an intuitive set of safety systems, complete with clear camera focus, user-friendly layouts, and connected features to keep you secure. Both the Ford F-150 and Chevy Silverado 1500 offer wide driver-assist suites as well, but Ram stands out with stronger overall useability, customization, and camera clarity. Features include Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane-Keeping Assist, Blind Spot Monitoring, a 360-Degree Surround-View Camera, ParkSense front and rear parking sensors, and Forward Collision Warning with Automatic Emergency Braking.
