  • I came here for the truck comparison, but was more impressed with the Schwarzenegger phone case.
  • @jroberts2535
    Wish they’d do more comps with the mid level trim trucks the average person actually buys.
  • As for me, I've owned 5 Fords. 3 were F150s, 2 were Super Dutys. I've owned a 1500 GMC Sierra Denali, and a 2500 Silverado HD. They were all nice trucks but they all had they're flaws of factory recalls or issues unique to them. My 99 SD went through three 5.4l engines and two transmissions and at 89,000 miles I got rid of it. I had always used synthetic oil and changed it faithfully. That was the first year of the superduty and horsepower had been increased in the following years but my 5.4 was mated to a 4:10 rear axle ratio and the truck was just to heavy for the motor when plowing or hauling heavy loads. That's just an example. The silverado had brake lines rust out prematurely. Now I own a 2020 Ram 1500 4x4 Crew and I've got to say I'm impressed and I've owned it for a solid year. I'm sure it will have it's unique issues at some point also but that said, I don't see the need to spend an extra $10,000 for the Ford issues over the Rams. And if I decide to haul a trailer over 11,000 lbs, I'll go to an HD model. When spending in the vicinity of $50,000, I give a good hard look at them all. At 66 years old, I've had some experience and in my opinion, the Ram is without a doubt the best bang for the buck. The ride is amazing. The 5.7 non-electric motor mated with the 3:92 rear axle and the 8 speed transmission is all the power I will need and I love the sound of the Hemi over the ecoboost. As far as which truck is the fastest off the line, trust me,the Ram is no slouch! With that said, who buys a brand new expensive factory truck to race? If you do, your special. The gimic of the fold down shift handle on the ford, that can not be folded down while driving is a useless feature to me. I love the Rams knob shifter that leaves the console open for use while driving. So which of these trucks would I take home? The Ram! And that's exactly what I did! No regrets!
  • I'm a Ford guy at heart so I'll always choose the Ford but that Ram is a very close second. The Ram especially in all black looks stunning.
  • No matter what you pick for a pickup it’s your choice and what best fits you. The pickup market keeps changing that why I love this .
  • Both trucks are good to me not only because I've always been a Ford and Ram guy my entire life but also just how much tough workhorses they are and badass comfy roomy spacious interiors.
  • @ALMX5DP
    I’d be extremely happy with either.
  • @jamespenner1412
    Owned my ram for 4 years and I'd take that rotary dial over everything else. Out of the way, fast, simple and right in the right spot.
  • @billysmith7835
    With your comparison being so close, what isn’t so close is price. RAM has better incentives and that’s what RAM did with my ‘17 Laramie, almost 10k off. RAM all day for me
  • @valante7
    The best thing about this video was your Schwarzenegger phone case. I will have that any day over these 2 trucks.
  • @mikem4259
    im trying to decide between ford f150 or ram 1500. I really want that hemi, old fashioned v8. I like the power of the twin tubes, but the more features you add, the odds of failure increase. I guess that's my thinking or concern. I tend to buy a vehicle, and drive it forever. im looking for long term reliability with power and towing capacity. right. now, im driving an 02' ram with the 360, and its a dog. anythings an improvement.
  • @DBotelho84
    Currently about 5,000 miles into my 21 "Built to Serve" RAM 1500, and loving it! Special thanks to the long term video you guys did. I agree that the F-150 was a close competitor. Perhaps down the line I may consider a Ford but this was my first Full Size truck, so I wanted to get something I've been researching since the redesign in 2019 and I believe any of the major bugs are worked out by now. Thank you for the awesome comparison. Still happy with my choice.
