Dodge Ram 2500 vs. Ford F-250 Review

Performance
With that kind of horsepower, both the Dodge Ram 2500 and the Ford F-250 are true sportscars.

Handling
With their comparable turning radii, the Dodge Ram 2500 and the Ford F-250 definitely handle roughly the same into and out of tight spots.

Drivetrain
The F-250 and the Dodge have similar-sized engines, with a slight advantage to the Dodge. Torque is the force that lets you accelerate quickly, and in this respect, the Dodge Ram 2500 isn't much more powerful than the Ford F-250.

Utility
The Ford F-250's more massive trunk will accommodate more large things than the Dodge Ram 2500. Neither the Dodge Ram 2500 nor the Ford F-250 has a marked advantage regarding seating capacity. There's no clear winner between the Ford and the Dodge Ram 2500 when it comes to hauling capacity. Towing is significantly more the Dodge Ram 2500's forte than it is the F-250's.

Comfort
While the front cabin in the F-250 offers a bit more head room than the Dodge, there frankly isn't much of a difference. The Ram 2500 offers more head- and leg-room to your passengers than the Ford F-250 does.

Dimensions
The Dodge Ram 2500's tank is almost the same size as the Ford F-250's, though the F-250's is slightly larger. The Ford and the Dodge Ram 2500 compete for the same parking spaces.

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs almost the same to get the Dodge Ram 2500 to the dealership as the Ford. In terms of MSRP, the Ford F-250 doesn't cost much less than the Ram 2500.

Warranty
The Ford F-250 and the Ram 2500 have the same basic warranty.
