2019 RAM vs 2019 F150 - A Ford Owners Perspective! 

I sell Ram and I appreciate your video ......You did a nice job of showing the differences. Each has their merits to be sure and both are far better than a Chev.

Regarding the shifter knob I have a 2019 Ram Limited and I've forgotten to put it in Park and left it in Drive the truck notices that and Does shift it to park for you.

This guy should be a politician. Lol. For the ram He does a great job of making good things sound like shortcomings and vise versa

I’d like to see a comparison between the Lariat and the Laramie.

this guy made me realize that i made a great decision getting my big horn 1500 night edition with the 12 in screen. i love it plus that hemi sounds awesome when you floor it.

Great video. I have a 2015 RAM Ecodiesel which gets 28mpg city and highway. Pulling a 6000 trailer I got 19 mpg on a 900 mile drive. I like how I have the option of pushing the center console up for a sixth person. I like the dial shifter. What I don't like about it is it is difficult to shift to neutral and turn off the engine to roll. I like the fact you pointed out the RAM was not as strong on the body. My roof has dents from my pecan tree!

You asked for our thoughts, well here is mine: I’ve had the chance to take both trucks home for several days. The overall feel and driving experience of the ram was more enjoyable and driver engaging. The one I had had a sport appearance group with LED headlights. The interior fit and finish was remarkable. Super quite, no rattles or creaks. The turn knob took time getting used to. The infotainment system was super sharp and responsive. I kept reaching for a non existent shifter but loved the 8hp75 transmission. I did not like the fake piano surround on the ram and found it annoying with fingerprints. The Ford was more “truck” like. The 302A group has some nice features, but the overall feeling with the touch screen seemed dated. I noticed a slight misalignment on the dash and there was this slight, but annoying dash rattle on this particular truck. Seating in both was good but the steering wheel felt better and more confidence inspiring in the Ram. The Ford also felt a little more “plasticky” with essentially everything being hard touch. The Ford drove very well, but the ram was just better on just about every road. Felt more control and more connection to the truck and the road. I ended up deciding on the ram but in a Laramie trim. Both are good trucks though. A side note! What the heck was Chevy thinking.... 🤦🏼‍♂️

Comment on the dial shifter... The dodge stops moving if you open your door - drives me nuts when backing your boat into the landing and then open your door so you seen how deep your rear wheels are getting into the water and it stops/moves to neutral or otherwise won't keep backing up!!! You say it will keep moving if you left it in drive - it doesn't do that as far as I know - it actually will put it into "park" if you forget to shift it there when you park your vehicle. Good video - I am a FORD guy that tried a RAM to see what they're like. Granted I went from XLT to REBEL, I like the 5.7L - it goes like hell! The ecoboost is nice, but not as fun to drive. The mileage, however, is much better on the FORD. I get maybe 16 mpg in the city and 20 mpg on the highway with the RAM and of the 4 ecoboosts I've owned, I averaged 18 in the city and up to 28 mpg on the highway. One thing I love about the REBEL is the air suspension - no matter what you have loaded in the truck, it sits level. I am sure FORD has something equivalent, but I haven't owned that version (yet)! The other thing I'd mention about the RAM, I do not have the rear seats with the flat floor - mine has panels that fold out to make a flat floor... I do not like it. There is a lot less room for stuff in the RAM (IE: small tool box) than there is in the FORD. Also, the navigation system in my REBEL is so outdated it's practically useless... I don't bother using it and just rely on my phone. I would NOT get their GPS package and just use your phone (connected to the system). My FORD GPS's were much more up to date. As far as rebates and leasing goes, FORD has much better options and is overall more affordable than RAM IMO. One nice thing with the RAM for the guys who still like to tear it up, when you shut off traction control, you can whip sideways and tear it up! My FORD's worked differently - when you turn the traction control off, if allows you to spin the tires, but the vehicle dynamic system still functions so as soon as you start sliding, it "brakes" the tires to straighten you back out... in other words, you can't whip shitties! Honestly, I like both trucks. RAM is more fun drive - FORD is more of a real truck = my 10 cents.

I wanted to say that I really appreciated the candor and honesty of this video. A bias was stated at the outset, but I think the analysis was fair and balanced. Well done.

I have a 2019 Ram and have been happy with it. I do agree I loose things in center console as it goes all the way through but I love having that huge bin right in the middle. You can put a gallon of mile in thier if you want too, things like takeout food fit in nicely without having to worry about setting on the seat or somewhere you could get stains if it leaks.

He forgot to mention the Ram's built in active noise cancellation. I've experienced it and it is awesome. He also failed to mention the phone/tablet holder in the front of the Ram's console. It is very handy!

Great comparison video! I’m getting my 2019 f150 lariat sport this coming weekend, excited

I have a 2019 ram. If you open the door it automatically puts its self in park and sets the parking brake.

Falken Wildpeak tires are fantastic! I've had 2 sets of Goodyear Wranglers. They were garbage. I'm done.

I really really appreciate your non-biased review.... Thank you!

Y’all came a long way. I remember when I first watched y’all when the 15 f150 came out

You forgot to mention the Ford feature where the doors won’t latch when frozen...despite several attempts by Ford to fix this, the feature persists...Advantage Ram!

I owned two f150s and I might be getting a ram soon. So I like both trucks👍 but the ram is killing it in 2019. Ram looks amazing. Fan of all 3 brands 💯

Great job on the comparison! Very fair. Thanks. Keep up the great work.

Love these comparison videos👍 great job as always

I own a 2018 F150 and really enjoy it. Just FYI, I would put very little importance on the flexing exterior body parts. Body panel parts have almost nothing to do with structural integrity. Many manufacturers purposely have softer or some give flexibility body panel parts to lessen injuries with vehicle/pedestrian accidents. What you passed over, which is a HUGE DOWNFALL with the XL and XLT is that Ford will NOT give you 4 Auto in 4x4 equipped model, Chevy and Ram does. Read about the perils of 4x4 transmission windup.

I think your video sold more people on the Ram than than the 150.

Man, that cat could sell ice to a Eskimo! Keep it up, I love it.

You are wrong about the dial shifter in the ram they’re are videos out showing it shifting itself in park when you get out

550 dollars of said equipment can be found in 130 dollar cell phone.

Both are nice trucks...I'll will and did take the Ram!

Your the best salesman I've ever seen great job I'm a Ford guy but I've always loved ram for a second truck you sold me on both.

I own a 2019 Ram...the knob shifter does have a “safety switch”....although the vehicle stays in “drive” the vehicle will NOT drive with any of the doors open...it will stay stationary until all doors are secured and a notification asking you to secure all doors will come across your speedometer screen...trust me...I have experienced this myself many of times.

Okay so here is a long list of missed facts that heavily reflects the strong ford bias here. (Also I still plan on buying a 2019 denali over both the f150 limited or ram limited/longhorn (only difference between the two trims is appearance), but it still annoys me when dealer based youtube channels try and sell a vehicle over their competition with a "fair comparison" which is why i'm making this list) -ram has been seperate from dodge for years now, js -The coils do not have any impact on towing, as the ram 2500, which uses coils, has 200lbs more tow capacity than the f250. The towing difference is down to the aluminum body's weight reduction, which ford throws into payload/tow capacity. (also f150 drivers have noted that it is very stressful towing near capacity as the trailer blows the lighter truck around easier than any other half ton, but I have no personal experience towing 13,000 in any vehicle so hence the parenthesis) -that ram is poorly speced with having a sport apperance package over no running boards, anyone who needs them or is a considerate person to their passengers would have them on the truck anyways, even if it was part of the negotiations at the dealer lot for the dealer to put some on. -That bedliner must have been added at the dealer, as the sticker does not have the 595 dollar bedliner option on it. also its about 40 dollars cheaper to get spray in bedliner from the factory on a ram, but thats just nitpicking -The price difference between the two hemi's is because of the e-torque mild hybrid system. The tow rating comes from the second one because of the electronic assist motor, not from any higher output from the hemi. You claim the price increase from standard hemi to etorque hemi is insane, but the price from the 2.7 ecoboost to the 5.0 coyote is actually more and the 2.7 and the towing difference between the two options is functionally identical to the difference in the hemis -Fuel economy when using the ecoboost when towing large loads will be lower than competitors due to the nature of turbochargers. Ford knows this as the new 7.3l was designed with towing fuel economy in mind vs highway cruising fuel economy. -The ecoboost takes "pride" in requiring only regular to the hemi's need for midgrade, but the hemi gets its full power rating with midgrade while the ecoboost needs premium to get its max power rating. So if you tow a lot you will be using premium fuel which means you will spend way more on fuel, as the turbocharged engine will get less towing mpg and use a more expensive fuel. -Start/stop in the ram is more thoroughly designed with the etorque system. Only trucks with the etorque have it, and the system uses a traditional starter to start the vehicle initially, and uses a mild hybrid system for start/stop, which has its own power source so there is no additional wear and tear on the starter and battery of the truck. It also uses the electric motor for the first half rotation of the wheels when going from a dead stop so there is ample time for the engine to start back up so there is little to no perceivable latency off the line. -After making several points about etorque, im pretty sure you didn't even know the ram 1500 came in a mild hybrid. -the ecodiesel was not axed, it is having epa certification issues that is delaying its return, but it is still planned to ship 2019 "all new" rams with the ecodiesel before the end of the model year. -The truck has a safety feature where if the truck starts moving with an open door it will automatically apply the electronic parking break, it will not roll with an open door. So this complain is wildly invalid. -you can put file folders in the console, just not as many as the f-150, just wanted to point that out even though the f150 has the superior file management system -In most reviews from independent reviewers I have seen, they would take the Uconnect over sync 3 every time. Maybe all the reviewers are "more technologically advanced" but its still an observation worth noting. -You completely wiffed on the 12v plug on top of the dash for dash cams, it is the only vehicle I know of (at all) that has a dedicated dash cam plug, anything else either runs down your dashboard to your console or you have to modify the vehicle and hardwire it into the 12v line of the mirror -The ram's center console is much more phone/tablet friendly. It is easier to place up to two phones on chargers in the ram and the smaller top compartment in the console is specifically designed to house an 11 inch tablet on a charger without issue. -with physical buttons in the ram, you can turn off parking sensors independently of each other. This is great for not only backing up your truck to a trailer, but also when on any non paved surface so the truck doesn't stop for every rock higher than 2 inches And things you didn't even give the f-150 credit for are things like the larger fuel tank options (36 vs 33 gal), the 10 speed auto transmission over the 8 speed in the ram, the much wider range of rear axles available to the f150 (the hemi only gets two options) you are the pinnacle of salesmen. Please for the sake of buyers, stop making comparative videos

Always like your videos but sorry this is coming from a F150 owner and the new Ram looks feels much nicer than the ford .

I love that center console in the 150, it looks like it will fit a halfrack. I hope its water proof

Hi I seen you talk about the auto start stop feature in the f150. I have a question for you does it void your warranty if you install a auto stop eliminator?

RAM also has AT&T 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot with the Uconnect. Great video I know this is from a ford bias as you said a few times, I personally work at a RAM dealership you’ve mentioned a lot of incorrect things about the RAM trucks. I love both trucks I wouldn’t be able to decide which one to purchase.

You can definitely open the Ram door with key in your pocket - read the manual. You convinced me to by the Ram - thanks!

My Ram 5.7 v8 etorque has 19 mpg which beats the F150 5.0 v8 18mpg I almost bought. And my Ram auto unlocks when I grab my handle but I got a '20 limited so... Also 12" screen on the ram rocks!

It's called preference. I have looked at Chevy, ram (still a dodge),Toyota, Nissan and prefer the F150!

Rear coils on the Ram ride GREAT compared to leafs, and tows great too.

I love my 2019 ram big horn crew cab .

I like that you actually gave props to the ram and didnt go all fan boy on the ford!! I'm literally deciding between another ram or getting a Ford good to see!!! BOTH are great trucks!!

Despite being a Ford salesperson, I have to say you were about as fair as anyone could be, but there was still bias. The comment about the "flex" in the front fender was very misleading. Obviously this was an attempt to sell people on the aluminum aspect of the F150. The movement at the front of the fender on the Ram is not due to the material it's made of, but due to the fact that the fender is not fully supported out to the very front near the headlight. Aluminum is considerably more brittle and does offer a more ridged surface, but being brittle also makes dent repairs more complicated and costly. In a way from an engineering perspective I'm not sure I'd talk about flex at all. All truck bodies flex. you can say that the new frames on the aluminum-bodied F-150 are stiffer, but there will always be flex. The reduced susceptibility to flexing with aluminum is also a detriment. Over time repetitive flexing will cause the metal at stress points to fatigue and crack. The difference in the load weight between the F-150 and Ram 1500 is not the rear suspension and the fact that Ram uses coil springs! The difference is available to the F-150 simply because the vehicle unladen weight is less. The claim that the ride difference between the two trucks is too close to judge is the unfortunate Ford salesperson mantra. Those leaf springs in the rear cause considerable more rear hop than the coils on the Ram. I've been in both, there is no comparison in ride quality. Even the new Silverado rides better than the F-150. Also, if you stop the Ram in Drive and open the driver's door, the E-brake is automatically applied.

I appreciate the video. Need to work on that bias though.

I'm surprised this video is still available to see. This guy just sold more Ram trucks than anyone on a Chrysler/Dodge/Ram dealership. LOL.

Thank you. Really good informative video. Keep doing that.

My 15 ram had the dial. It took me about 2 weeks to stop grabbing for a column shifter. I drive Ford super dutys all day at work, so that was why it probably took so long for me to adjust.

Thanks so much for helping me make up my mind. I'm definitely buying the Ram!

The truck does go in park when you open the door.

Did the ram trans came messed up from the factory? Cause my 2020 f150 came with a 1985 style transmission wich ford cant figure how to make it right but wont try anything

Looking to get a 2019 f150, but having issues finding ones with 6 foot bed. What's the best way to locate one in Texas or Oklahoma with engaging with a bunch of dealerships?

After watching this I would still get the Ram

You didn’t mention HP and Torque between the two V8’s. Also I noticed the Ram has AWD too which you can’t get in the XLT which is lame.

You are correct! During the “application” of driving down the road coils are better!

Excellent salesmanship. Biased? For sure. Informative? For sure. No slanting no smearing. Hope to see more.

You lost me at the emergency braking feature. I don't want that crap on my vehicle. There are times when a swerve will avoid an accident that breaking would cause you to get rear ended.

Who doesn’t put the parking brake on or shift into park when leaving their vehicle?? Nit picking.. Ram has many features you didn’t touch on.

I like the locking center console. It's not mentioned else where. Lockable glovebox and center console are 2 features missing on my 13 f150. I have to drop a pistol safe into it to secure the room.

My 2018 ram with the dial shift auto switches to park so im slightly confused

Here come the Falken fan boys. They already got me on my tire review videos.

Thanks for the video I want to go buy a ram now!

Hey guys, is there a recall on the 5.0 that burns oil? Have seen many cases of it and it is scaring me away from buying one. Any info helps

Yes The Ram does have the saftey feature to stop if not in park if you get out on forward drive or reverse. It also does more with the key fob than you mentioned...it does unlock with the key in my pocket.

Definitely biased and incorrect on several comparisons. Both are solid truck though.

Okay, lost my attention when he said you had to unlock door with key fob. Also for the same price he is comparing, you can get a nice Laramie with all the features he said Ram does not have. My Sport Laramie pretty decked with $55,513 sticker and out the door price of $43,000. Both are nice trucks and it looks like Ford is getting a little nervous.

I have a 17 Ram 1500 Sport for about a year now, I still hate the dial shifter but other that, love my truck.

He’s talking about the tired and said the rams tires sound “cheap” he didn’t even look at the prices lol. Thanks or helping me make the easiest decision of my life! I’m getting the RAM!

The Falken Wildpeak tires are EXCELLENT!

My 2019 bighorn sets the emergency brake and goes to park if you open the door without your seatbelts on.

Good review. I’m an F150 owner, but have rented several of the RAMs. They have some done some good things. Competition is a good thing!

My 2019 ram has intelligent access and a panel that lifts up in the middle console storage to keep your things from sliding to the front, which I clearly saw in that bighorn

Ram wins this comparison for sure it's the best truck for 2018/19

This guy keep making comparision to Ford Lariat and not the actrual XLT model. You have to learn to stay on topic. "Ford has this feature too but you have to step up to the lariat" IDK how many times he said that......

I'm a little late in seeing this video, but I'm excited to see a comparison video between the Gen 3 Ford Raptor and the TRX Ram

Just a correction. I have a 2019 ram rebel. It goes into park automatically if the door is opened and it does have proximity access for the doors.

Thank you for the amazing review!, can’t wait to pick up a ram

I recently switched from a 2018 F-150 Platinum to a 2019 Ram Limited. In this video the RAM does have the offroad package, which is equivalent to the FX4, skid plates, 1' lift and locking rear axle. Great point on the rear glass, Ford looks the best by far. The 3.5 ecoboost is a monster that I loved to drive and tows awesome but mileage is not a good as advertised. I have to strongly disagree with the leaf/vs coil spring comment. They are dual rate springs, soft ride and great load handling capability. Also very easy to lift, (did it last week on a bighorn). I've grown to love the rotary shifter, it frees up tons of space in the center console, which is now massive in the ram, for 2019 it does put itself in park! The file folder point....its 2019 we have Ipads/tablets. The Ram has way more USB chargers along with the new USB-C and wireless phone charger. The push button start and full keyless entry is an option. Works great on my truck. I do really miss the key pad but I can use the Uconnect app on my phone to lock/unlock and start the vehicle with the keys inside. Back seat room.... at 18:30 you show the dimensions. Rear legroom Ram: 45.2 Ford 43.6. At 25:53 you say "not nearly as much leg room" HAHAHA give me a break!!! Obviously you're going to lean Ford but you can't show the facts and then choose to ignore them 7 minutes later. That said, nothing in the industry touches the 2019 Ram with Air-ride, the ride quality, load carrying, and trailering confidence is second to none. Period. The biggest reason I bought the Ram is the interior not even close. Style, materials fit and finish. 12" screen is awesome too! All in all great video, you made an effort to be fair. I respect that. I can't wait to see the 2020 F-150's!

Great review, even though you were slightly biased towards the Ford being a Ford associate you did a great job. Edmond's pick in this class of trucks is the Ram, Chevy second and Ford third. That being said, all three have their Pros and cons and the difference between the three is minimal at best. All three are a great option and ultimately it ends up being a consumers opinion on which one of the three is right for them. I just purchased a Ram 2019 last night from the dealership which had great Labor Day incentives which tipped the scale in the Ram category. I have owned Chevy, Chrysler Jeeps, and Fords so I believe all of them have their pluses and minus... Again, great job on the comparison of the two trucks!

It took me awhile to get use to the shift knob. I kept on reaching for the shifter on the column like how it was on my 2016 Silverado

RAM interior is 2019 Mercedes -S class Ford interior is a 1974 ford pinto 🤷‍♂️

Im a Ford guy but my good friend is a Ram guy and has had no issues with his Ram. Both great trucks. But I personally prefer the F150 IMO.

My dad a has the newer ram Eco diesel that's I think is out of production. He's not had an issue though so. It sure the whole story there. Was wondering if u could compare the Eco diesel ram to the Ford Eco boost f150?

I’ve put over 2,000 lbs in my 2015 ram 1500 bed and it did fine you really wouldn’t have noticed it at all and the suspension held up fine and the vehicle still drove like brand new when I sold it at 184,000 miles without ever needing to do anything other than regular maintenance no parts needed to be replaced other than brake parts obviously

This video is full of so many lies and falsehoods it's painful to watch

Listen to this and still would get the ram 🐏

Nice video. Thanks for the info.

I own the 2019 ram 1500 limited and it does have the emergence park if you keep it in drive and open your door it will put it in park and I have the full keyless entry where u put your hand in the handle and it will unlock it also had the emergency braking for both cars and people on it

Long time Ford owner here. I just test drove the Big Horn yesterday. Rams interior is miles beyond Fords now and has 4A which is a pretty big plus for the snowy climate I live in. Ford should get their new truck out in 2020 to match the interior Quality of the ram and please put 4A in trims lower than the lariat. I’m keeping my Ford for now, but I almost bought the Ram.... very nice truck. I’ll keep my 2016 XLT for another couple years, however a Ram may be in my future. NEVER thought I would say that.

I drive ford,dodge and gmc at my job in multiple trims and features from each manufacturer and the fords and dodges are all around far better truck than gmc.

My ram classic came with the box lights and soft open tail gate 👌

That’s odd. I have that exact ram just in white. And when I put it in reverse I open the door and it automatically goes into park? Not sure why u said it doesn’t.

Ill make this simple. If you buy a F150 get the 5.0 the Ram get the 5.7 hemi. Trucks suck on fuel deal with it or move on.

Research your trucks fool. Ram Off Road package has skid plates, tuned shocks, hill descent, upgraded tires, premium wheels, and elocker. Much better off road package than FX.

Think you can do one compare to the GMC Sierra 1500 AT4 package, about same pricing with a 6.2 v8

How does the ram have a larger cab, yet less rear leg room? Seems like something was left out, not to mention that the Rams rear seat slides forward to mimic a recline. Also, what about the rest of the usb and wireless charging options in the front console?

There’s an option in the settings for the ram that if u stop and get out while it’s in drive, it will automatically put the parking brake on

Literally the only person on RU-vid that’s thinks the f150 is better than the new ram

22:00 I have the same ram and when I leave the truck in drive and open my door it automatically puts it in park and applies the emergency brake.

does the same thing happen in the ford Gt when you open the door

Dont lie... I know that you just went and bought that Ram. You fell in love with it at the end of your video... those floor storages made you tear up a lill. 😂🤣😂🤣😂 go head and admit it. RAM is better. Hey, u might a well go work for them too cause u just lost for all thier truck customers. You did a great job selling that Ram. I want two of them please

Yea the Ram is where it’s at, I have a 2018 bighorn 4x4 Hemi (got it cheaper due to new body on the lots). The Ford F-150 is a good truck and I like some of the features. I was coming from a 98 F150 with 320k miles and really wanted to get that longevity with a new one but after test driving both I went with the ram. The Hemi felt much more like a truck power plant especially in 4low than the F150 5.0, the ecotech seemed to struggle under a load and had me worried about longevity, now the ram needed headers right off the bat due to exhaust manifold being iron on aluminum heads but I love it.

I just bought a 2019 Ram Bighorn. It has a lot more options on it than what this shows. I LOVE it. I’ll keep the RAM any day of the week. Ford is doing a damn good job. I’ll revisit this once the hybrid comes out though.

I’m a ford guy and watching you have me goosebumps.
