2025 Ram 2500 vs 2025 Ford F-250
The Ford F Series has been the best-selling truck for a while now, but does that mean it's better than the Ram? You're about to see why popularity doesn't always point to the best all-around product.
Performance
Buyers of these trucks prioritize towing capacity, payload, horsepower, and torque. The Ram HD doesn't disappoint with an optional 6.7 liter Cummins turbocharged 6-cylinder engine churning out 370 horsepower and a prodigious 850 pound-feet of torque. This gives it the ability to tow a staggering 19,990 pounds, likely enough to bump-start a jumbo jet! What's more, buyers can haul up to 4,000 pounds in the Ram's massive bed.
The Ford F-250 is also a highly capable machine with an available 6.7 liter Powerstroke V8 producing 475 horsepower and 1,050 pound feet of torque, besting the Ram 2500's already massive numbers. However, we're not so sure how much of an advantage this will be during actual use as the Ram already has more than enough capability for the vast majority of buyers.
Safety Features
When it comes to safety it's tough to break these two bruisers up. Their massive size adds an extra layer of security as it's hard to be hurt in an accident when you're driving something larger than the vast majority of passenger vehicles. Also, they can both be equipped with the latest and greatest safety tech including:
- Automated emergency braking
- Blind spot monitoring with lane keep assist
- Radar-guided cruise control
Interior
If there's one thing buyers of these trucks care about even more than the towing and payload capabilities printed on the brochure, it's the place they'll be spending every moment behind the wheel: the cabin. We're happy to report that when equipped the Ram absolutely coddles drivers with creature comforts and materials that rival most luxury cars let alone full-size trucks. The vaunted Longhorn trim level has wood trim and gold accents throughout making it versatile enough to shuttle workers to the job site during the day then head out for a fancy night on the town. Furthering the Ram's luxury level chops is standard acoustic glass that's thicker than normal to ensure a quiet ride as well as an active noise cancelling system that uses the stereo system to counter noise which means drivers are more likely to feel like they're driving a Bentley than a full size truck.
The 2025 F-250 can be equipped with the same high-end features however it's clear Ford did not put as much effort into noise reduction. Also, the available 12-inch infotainment screen is significantly smaller than the 15-inch setup in the Ram.
Bottom Line
If all that matters to you is having the truck with the biggest numbers printed on the brochure the 2025 Ford F-250 is probably your pick. However, buyers looking for a more complete package of performance, drivability, and fantastic comfort should give the Ram 2500 a serious look.
