Ford F-250 vs Ram 2500: Specs
How will you configure your next new pickup truck? With powerful engine lineups that include gasoline and turbo diesel options, you can power your vehicle, your way. Three engines are available on the 2020 F-250, while the Ram 2500 offers only two available engines.
Whether you’re towing large trailers or just want to get up to speed quickly, the Ram 2500’s turbo diesel V8 cranks out 850 lb-ft of torque for the job. The Ford F-250’s Power Stroke® turbo diesel V8 generates even more power, though—a whopping 1,050 lb-ft of torque, to be exact.
Keep in mind, too, that both trucks are available with 4-wheel drive (4WD). Find more traction on the slipperiest surfaces and keep your Ram or Ford truck under control.
Driver Assistance & Truck Safety
Wondering how the Ford F-250 and Ram 2500 work overtime to help keep you safe on the streets? Both offer advanced driver-assisting suites that use cameras and sensors to warn you of potential road trouble.
The Ford Co-Pilot360™ suite and its Ram equivalent are all about helping you be a better driver. You can boost your awareness on the road, with standard and available features that include:
- Adaptive Cruise Control with Forward Collision Warning and Brake Support
- Lane-Keeping System
- Pre-Collision System with Automatic Emergency Braking
The Ford F-250 also offers available Pro Trailer Backup Assist™, one feature the Ram 2500 lacks. You can turn a knob on the dashboard to direct your trailer as you back up. Tow more safely than ever!
Ford vs Ram: Towing & Payload
There’s no doubt about it: The 2020 F-250 and Ram 2500 are muscular trucks. Which one has the mettle to move more, though? Let’s look at the towing and payload specs for these vehicles.
The Ford F-250 can tow up to 21,200 conventionally when properly equipped. The Ram 2500 has a solid showing with a 19,680-pound max towing capacity, but it still falls short of the Ford pickup. The latter’s Power Stroke® V8 engine gives it a decisive lead when it comes to towing.
With the F-250, a max payload of 4,260 pounds means you can load up that bed with more materials. If you choose the Ram 2500, the max payload of 4,010 pounds falls just short of the Ford truck.
Should I Buy the Ford F-250 or Ram 2500?
Every project deserves a heavy-duty pickup truck that can meet the moment. We hope you enjoyed our comparison of the 2020 Ford F-250 and Ram 2500 as you consider your options.
Both will serve you well on the roads of Hickory, Valdese, and Brookford, NC. However, the more potent F-250 offers the towing and hauling muscle you’ve been looking for.
