Dodge Ram 2500 vs. Ford F-350 Review

Utility
There's no clear winner between the Ford F-350 and the Ram 2500 when it comes to transporting cargo. Neither the Ram 2500 nor the F-350 has a marked advantage when it comes to seating capacity. Towing is considerably more the Dodge's forte than it is the Ford F-350's.

Performance
With that kind of horsepower, both the Dodge Ram 2500 and the Ford F-350 are true speedsters.

Dimensions
The Ford F-350's tank is about the same size as the Dodge Ram 2500's, though the Dodge Ram 2500's is somewhat larger. The Ford F-350 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 roughly the same to get the Ram 2500 to the dealership as the Ford. The Dodge Ram 2500 isn't much less costly than the Ford F-350 as far as MSRP.

Handling
With their similar turning radii, the Dodge Ram 2500 and the Ford quite certainly handle almost the same into and out of tight spots.

Drivetrain
The Ford F-350's engine is a little smaller than the Dodge Ram 2500's, but not terribly so. The Ford F-350 has no lessons to learn in terms of torque from the Dodge Ram 2500.

Comfort
While the front cabin in the Ford F-350 offers a bit more head room than the Dodge Ram 2500, there really isn't much of a difference. The ampler interior dimensions of the Dodge Ram 2500 make it considerably more spacious for your passengers than the Ford.

Warranty
The Ford F-350 and the Dodge have the same basic after-sale protection.
