One Clear Winner? New Ram 1500 Tungsten vs Ford F-150 Platinum Plus! 

Agreed. I had one in 1500 before I got a 2500 and I kinda miss it lol.

Plus it frees up space on the center console.

People really mistaking the shifter for the volume? lol. Sounds like something just to complain about. I had a ford and ram. Prefer the more space for the ram. And I don’t have to reach for my drink holder like the f 150.

Love the dial shifter on my 14 ram.

Dial is better than buttons like chevy. But I prefer column shifter

They sell one of that.

They wouldn't make them if people didn't buy them. Business owners love to buy them for the write-off.

@@hochhaulspoken from a non business owner. Do you even understand the concept of tax deductions?

I guess you won’t have either of these trucksy

​@@hochhaulUnder normal circumstances, you'd be right. Post pandemic corporate greed has driven a lot of anti consumer practices, though. Maybe a lot of people will buy these, maybe I'm wrong, but reeks of an opportunistic move by truck makers to try and continue to capitalize on an auto market that was previously out of control.

Ford has a phenomenal 4wd system. All trucks get a 2 speed transfer case. Almost every truck on the lot has a rear locker as well. They have a proven reliable system. If you don’t believe me google any twin turbo regular cab coyote truck. Most push 1000hp with a factory factory transfer case and factory front end components.

Ram trucks in the top trim levels tend to have terrible payload. I recall seeing Ram Limiteds with just 960 lbs of payload. Comical when Ram still rates them to tow 10k lbs.

@@hochhaul HAHA, that Ram could be driven by an ant and still be 40lbs overloaded !!

no. That is why Ram has 6+ months of supply because it is such a popular vehicle.

@davidporter7051 Its because Ram is selling most of their vehicles 120-125% higher prices than the competition for most of their models, which is why they have high inventory. See Car Edge.

If you don't use it as a truck, lol !!

Ford is the way to go you power your camp site, charge someone's EV and pull someone out of the ditch with your tow hooks. Dodge is a big fail with that SUV frontend. Trucks have bumpers for a reason which cost less when you damage them, where in the Dodge you have to replace the whole front end since has no sperate bumpers like the Ford. That 1,000 pound payload in the Dodge is a joke.

That’s why selling slower in the dealership of market

Nope. 😂

Read Consumer Reports! Ram has best reliability. Tundra ranks 3rd!

I guess your eyes are become old and you seem like you are a new owner or first person to buy truck in your life

@@RatnaRai-nm7sv guess so!!

@@jamespenner1412 why not

As if there is any difference between truck owners. At these trim levels neither will have dirt in the bed or anything towed but a boat/rv twice a year. And that’s totally fine! People have weird cult like purity tests about trucks…

Haha that's a funny way to say that ford still bucks and drives like a covered wagon. I mean ram has had air suspension for over a decade now? 1500's are not trucks, they're all passenger cars with an open trunk. They're meant to drive nice and feel nice. If you want a truck that destroys your kidneys then the f350 is still an option of course.

@@JohnSmith-ev1sm I drive an F350 CC LWB sometimes for work and it still rides better than most GM half ton trucks!

@@JohnSmith-ev1sm rams ride better because they are coil sprung. They also pull a trailer like shit because of the coil springs. The Ram sag is a real thing, even on the 3/4 tons. Pick your poison…

@@joshuaatkinson5810 Spoken in ignorance, what do you think train cars use? Coils. Rams have progressive springs, which means the first inch sags quicker than the second. A little sag is no problem other than some people who think visually the truck looks weak; they are designed to work like this. I tow my dual axle RV all the time with my coils and it rides buttery smooth with no issues. Maybe learn how to use the equipment instead of blaming it. Truck King and TFL have both put barrels of cement or heavy trailers on Rams and GMs and Fords, and they all sag the same amount give or take a quarter inch.

You mean SUV's because with that tiny payload it a real joke as a truck.

Yeah as long as you don't use a truck as truck that 1,000 pound pay load is a joke. No tow hooks is really a big fail and on top of not having bumpers its just an SUV with a bed. The Ford can do so much more power your home, job site and your camp site.

@@kenwolf2431 I think the 2025 has an option for a generator.

I guess you have none of those trucks

@@RatnaRai-nm7sv no, do you have any one or close to them?

@@RatnaRai-nm7sv but I can say I had a 2021 limited longhorn two tone black and walnut brown fully loaded. Customized order ….

Sorry not really

Ram has usb all over the truck. You don't need to charge your phone wirelessly, you can still charge it by usb, so that's not a real problem.

@@oshayworrell1934 your response is idiotic

@alanmw86 why? Cause it's true. You crying about one USB being block when they two other there and more all over the truck. I guess your response is idiotic.

Ram doing the g/t package now but stellantis head man kill the hemi

@@843MudMafia. Stellantis does not know what Americans want because they are a foreign brand that bought Chrysler Jeep Ram and Dodge

Most of us won't even consider anything in this price range so these comparisons are meh. Who cares really.

Pickup truck plus SUV talk and TFL at this point is life styles of the rich and famous, they need a Robin Leach impersonator as a host.

The Ram Tungsten might be worth 90k if they put the Viper V-10 in it again. It would be great to see an SRT-10 brought back.

It would be much faster than the hurricane​@@hochhaul

This shows your ignorance.Those trucks are not cheaply made.They're just as nice as As any luxury car especially the ram.

you are definitely in the minority. There are reasons why Ram has 900+ days of inventory.

@@davidporter7051 Dude! I've been a fan since the 80's. This is nothing new for me. Stay true to your tuck tattoo.🙂

Probably the only running 2017 EcoDiesel today.

Everyone says they suck lol

So true .giant fail .

I get one on Tuesday. The video was misleading. Too many people took that comment to heart. I think the Ram has a dipstick.

@@Pickuptrucktalk it doesn’t. You check it in the gauge cluster. Relying on a sensor is a terrible idea. I say as bad as an off road without tow hooks.

@@nordlandak6853 Gotcha. I want to double check for myself. Video for sure on that.

There is no dipstick and I deliver parts to dealers and I talked to mechanics all the time and they are working on these right and left he says they're pieces of s***.

Ram loses no tow hooks, no real bumper and no payload makes for a poor SUV and not a good truck.

Cool. That is why they make Bighorns and XLTs. Pick the one that fits your price. These are for a very specific small market.

@johncotter, 👏👏👏. Now that’s good 👍🤣

Ram trucks are good, you need a update

The bumper is not plastic, its metal behind the skin.

@@oshayworrell1934 Because ram has no separate bumper it will cost more to replace that front end cover. Not having tow hooks when this thing gets stuck in the MUD you be tearing that front end up with no tow hooks in the front. The Ram is a poor choice for a truck.

yeah that's why roughly Ford sells 700K+ trucks year over year.

Nothing announced.

Lol ram has 900 days of inventory on all their lots… people aren’t buying them. Ram is also known for rather horrible build quality. Primarily regarding the electrical system, body control modules, and potentially this new untested engine. (Hemis weren’t exactly reliable… lifters, cams, and exhaust manifold bolds, all which lead to an obnoxious tick and thousands of dollars to fix)

​@joshuaatkinson5810 what hurt ram is since stellantis taking over they over price everything

@@843MudMafia. the price hurt them and the fact they make a crappier truck than the new Fords which are also rather shitty…. Even the new Tundra’s are blowing engines left and right. it’s bad time to be a consumer

@@joshuaatkinson5810 ram needs a new tramisson and cab And bed

If you trade in a luxury car or super car for a truck you don’t need a truck you need a commuter…..

Dodges sucks more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looks a bit cheesy IMO

I used to have a ford with the key pad and I was always surfing, now I have a ram rebel and I love everything about it but I really miss that key pad 😕

Same here dude. Every time I go to the lake or beach I do the same thing. It’s an awesome feature they have had on trucks since the late 90’s and every ford I have owned.

Really? I don’t think any truck has beautiful interior design than ford

@@RatnaRai-nm7sv I own two f150 and the interiors look amazing but I do like a bit more of the design on the dodge just my opinion i will still choose a ford tho

Yeah if you want an SUV because it a poor excuse for a Truck.

In terms of looks. Reliability is way down on the new Rams….

@@mannyman4103 The 2025 Rams just came out... there is no reliability records yet....... and when they do come out, they won't be any worse than Ford or Chevy...

@@leedanielson7452 check out the videos regarding the uConnect in these new tungsten trucks… a bunch of bugs and glitches. I’m sure the engine will be fine. Transmission is basically bulletproof. The rest of the truck is not that solid.

​@mannyman4103 Ram has been the most reliable since 21 😁

@@leedanielson7452 They will definitely be the worst in reliability once the 2025's are sold in high enough volumes. I listened to the recorded meeting of UAW workers at their Sterling Heights plant and they're really mad because Stellantis keeps ignoring all the quality issues going on with the updated truck. The wire harnesses are too short and not staying connected. They were also frustrated that the new computer modules are having so many glitches. They'll pass initial quality checks and then the next time someone tries to start the truck, it'll throw codes and refuse to start. Others are draining batteries dead. A ton of 2025's are getting diverted to the section of the parking lot where problem trucks get fixed before shipping. One worker bought a 2025 and it had problems but he was lucky enough to work at SHAP and get it fixed right away instead of waiting for a fix to get sent to the dealer weeks from now.

🤣

Ford interior comfort inferior to Ram? Is this the reason why the F-150 is 50% more popular than the Frankentruck?

@@davidporter7051 As he stated, the F150 does a lot of truck things better. I too would choose the Ford but their high level trims interior need a lot of work for the premium price they want to charge. There is nothing wrong with saying the competition has somethings that are better. That's what drives improvement and changes in the truck you prefer. Ford is over reaching on price right now. I would not pay 90k for this limited as I don't see anything "premium" over their lower trims. The leather work is basic, screen small, Phone charging abysmal. Software is slow and subpar. I'm in the market for new trucks but this is not it. Ford better up their game a lot it they want to be in the luxury market and charge these kind of prices.

@@darpompie4354 Ram MSRP is higher, Ford is definitely more comfortable and completely out sales Ram and it isn't even a competition. Ram has lost over 40% of its sales since 2020. This is due to Ram doing just about everything inferior.

@@darpompie4354 Ford Fan here, and that's one area the F Truck is slipping on....value for money on the top lux trucks !!

Hard loaded lariat is still available with a 5.0 and I personally like the interior more because it doesn’t have all the stupid platinum badges everywhere.

@@joshuaatkinson5810 if I’m spending 80k+ on a truck(f150) , it better have Massaging seats.. I just like the king ranch colors , and it’s very strange to me they took the 5.0 out of king ranch if anything ….

@@hunterbasselite6826 I get it dude. I love my 2022 5.0 platinum.

Really? What a joke

@@RatnaRai-nm7sv yup

The F150 has always had a horizontal screen and definitely since 2021 when they started with the 12". I agree with you horizontal looks much better!

Did you see the ford lightning yet?
