Dodge Ram 1500 vs. Ford F-350 Review

Performance
With that kind of horsepower, the Ford F-350 Super Duty is a genuine sportscar. In terms of horsepower, the Ford F-350 Super Duty packs quite a wallop and will knock the Dodge Ram Pickup 1500 down a few rungs. However, remember that high horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums. Both the Ford F-350 Super Duty and the Dodge Ram Pickup 1500 are likely to feel slightly slow because of their high horsepower-to-weight ratio.

Handling
The Ford F-350 Super Duty has considerably wider tires than the Ram Pickup 1500. Note that wider tires can look and feel better, while smaller tires may provide better handling in deep snow. With its tighter turning circle, the Dodge is doubtless nimbler than the Ford F-350 Super Duty, something to consider if you do a lot of city driving; on the flip side, note that a vehicle with a tight turning circle may feel a bit twitchy on the highway.

Drivetrain
The Ford F-350 Super Duty's engine is quite a bit larger than the Dodge's. Note that bigger engines may use more gas than smaller ones. Torque equals pickup, and the Ford F-350 Super Duty will have picked up and gone by the time the Dodge Ram Pickup 1500 finally gets moving.

Utility
The Ford F-350 Super Duty and the Dodge Ram Pickup 1500 can accommodate the same number of passengers. The F-350 Super Duty is a better choice than the Dodge Ram Pickup 1500 with respect to transporting cargo, especially if you frequently need to carry a lot of luggage or beasts. Towing is significantly more the Ford F-350 Super Duty's forte than it is the Dodge Ram Pickup 1500's.

Comfort
While the front cabin in the Ford F-350 Super Duty offers a bit more head room than the Ram Pickup 1500, there honestly isn't much of a difference. The Ford offers more head- and leg-room to your passengers than the Dodge does.

Dimensions
The Ford F-350 Super Duty is markedly more ponderous than the Dodge Ram Pickup 1500. The Dodge Ram Pickup 1500's tank is roughly the same size as the Ford F-350 Super Duty's, though the Ford F-350 Super Duty's is a bit more capacious. The Ford rides lower than the Dodge Ram Pickup 1500, which is a good thing for its center of gravity and ease of access. The Dodge Ram Pickup 1500 and the F-350 Super Duty compete for the same parking spaces. The F-350 Super Duty's longer wheelbase will result in a smoother, more stable ride; on the flip side, the Dodge Ram Pickup 1500 may give a sprier feel in daily traffic.

The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs approximately the same to get the Ford F-350 Super Duty to the dealership as the Dodge Ram Pickup 1500. With respect to MSRP, the Ram Pickup 1500 costs considerably less than the Ford.
