Ram and Ford are known to deliver some of the best-in-class and award-winning trucks in the industry, showcasing excellent on-road efficiency, maximum towing capabilities and sturdy performance. With the new 2022 Ram 1500 and 2022 Ford 150, both the companies have once again captured the interest of pickup truck drivers across Canada by offering impeccable payload capabilities and integrated towing features. Wonder, out of the two mighty rivals, the 2022 Ram 1500 vs 2022 Ford F-150, which one has the best towing capacity? Read below to find out. 

2020 Ram 1500 Towing Capacity

The 2022 Ram 1500 is available with five engine options, each offering a huge towing capacity to conveniently pull a heavy trailer, camper van, dirt bikes, motor boat and other travel equipment. Available on Ram 1500 Laramie, Limited Longhorn and Limited, the 5.7-litre HEMI V8 engine with eight-speed automatic transmission produces 395 horsepower and 410 pound-feet of torque, promising an efficient performance.

With a huge towing capacity, the Ram 1500 comes integrated with different towing features that makes driving with a trailer easier and more convenient. Available towing features include

Tow hooks

2020 Ford F-150 Towing Capacity 

Like the 2022 Ram 1500, the Ford F-150 also delivers an exceptional towing capacity. It has five engine options, including the 3.5-litre EcoBoost V6 engine that features a generous 14,000 lbs (6,350 kg) towing capacity. The standard 3.3-litre TI-VCT V6 engine of the Ford pickup truck embraces 8,200 lbs (3,719 kg). 

Though the Ford-150 embraces a wide towing capacity, the reliability and flexibility you get with the 2022 Ram 1500 are unmatchable. Moreover, the built-in towing features with the Ram 1500 make trailering and towing easy, especially on highways and busy roads. Both these best-in-class trucks promise a comprehensive driving experience, but the Ram 1500 has a slight edge above the Ford 150 because of its bold exterior design, multiple wheel option and powerful performance.
