Ford Super Duty vs Ram HD: How Do They Compare?
When you're looking for a truck that can handle even the toughest jobs, Ford is a name that should immediately come to mind. Ford has been building America's favorite trucks for generations, and new models like its Ford Super Duty are built to work as hard as you can.
Ford aren't the only ones building capable trucks, though. Muenster and Gainesville will also find high-performance options with the Ram Heavy Duty lineup. The big question, of course? Which big truck lineup offers more? The team at Klement Ford of Muenster is happy to provide insight into what both have to offer and why Ford is the brand that Bowie and Sanger drivers like you should turn to.
Performance
The heart of any big truck is its engine options. The Ford Super Duty lineup is no exception. The current Super Duty trucks offer a winning selection of powerful powertrains, including:
- 405-hp 6.8-liter V-8
- 430-hp 7.3-liter V-8
- 475 6.7-liter diesel V-8
- 500-hp 6.7-liter diesel V-8
Performing at their peak, these engines can produce up to 1,200 pound-feet of torque. That adds up to a peak payload capacity of 8,000 pounds and a maximum towing capacity of 40,00 pounds.
The Ram Heavy Duty is also impressive, but just not to the same degree. You can find Ram HD trucks with:
- 405 horsepower 6.4-liter V8
- 430 horsepower 6.7-liter turbodiesel inline-6
To its credit, the Ram Heavy Duty turbodiesel can produce up to 1,075 pound-feet of torque in its high-output form. Even that, though, doesn't match what you'll find with a Ford.
Technology & Features
While big trucks tend to be "work first" when it comes to features and technology, that doesn't mean they can't deliver more. The Ford Super Duty lineup comes equipped with the SYNC 4 infotainment system, including a standard 8-inch touchscreen and an optional 12-inch alternative. You'll also enjoy smartphone integration via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as access to a standard 8-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system. If that's not enough? You'll find plenty more to love in the Super Duty's premium 18-speaker sound system.
To its credit, the Ram Heavy Duty lineup hits the road with a standard 8.4-inch touchscreen and an optional 14.5-inch touchscreen. Ram's trucks also offer access to Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a built-in Wi-Fi hotspot for easy media access. You'll enjoy a rock-solid media experience regardless of which model you drive home in.
Interior Comfort
Spending long hours behind the wheel demands a comfortable and well-appointed interior. The Ford Super Duty delivers with premium materials, supportive seating, and a cabin designed to reduce fatigue during extended drives. Depending on your preferences, you'll also find cabin options with space for up to three to six passengers.
The Ram HD lineup is also known for its comfortable interiors, with available leather seats and a similar range of amenities compared to the Ford Super Duty. These options also include cabs that can seat from three to six people, depending on your needs and bed length preferences.
