Ford F-250 vs Ram 2500: Specs

Ford F-250 vs Ram 2500 Hickory NC 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.

Ford vs Ram: Towing & Payload

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.
