As a new Ford dealer serving shoppers from Pocola to Mena, OK, folks come from all over Oklahoma to shop our selection. And while our friendly customer service and wide range of attractive new Ford vehicles certainly plays a role in our dealership's appeal, our lineup of new Ford F-150 pickup trucks is undoubtedly the most compelling reason to drop by. This light duty pickup truck has been America's best-selling truck for over half a century now, and it shows no signs of falling out of favor anytime soon. However, this powerful pickup isn't without strong rivals. So, if you're interested in seeing why the this new Ford truck is such a popular pick for Oklahoma shoppers, you need only see how the Ford F-150 compares to the Ram 1500.
Now, there's a lot of factors to delve into when comparing the new Ford F-150 to the Ram 1500, but when it comes right down to it, pickup trucks are all about hauling and towing. Got a boat, a camper trailer, or even a utility trailer that you like to tote things around Poteau, OK in? If so, you'll be happy to note that both the new Ford F-150 and Ram 1500 can tow like absolute professionals…but one does better than the other overall. When properly equipped, the new Ford F-150 can confidently move up to 11,300 pounds. Add up the towing power of even the most powerful Ram 1500 truck, and you'll find it tops out at towing just 8,320 pounds, making it the lesser of the two trucks when it comes to pulling power.
In fact, speaking of power, we should talk about the powertrain options to be found under the hood of the new Ford F-150 and Ram 1500. You see, while both the new Ford F-150 and Ram 1500 offer dynamic gasoline and diesel powertrain options, only the new Ford F-150 offers a PowerBoost® full-hybrid powertrain. Combining the power of a V6 engine with a hybrid electric support system, the new Ford F-150 PowerBoost® delivers instantaneous torque and unrivaled passing power. By comparison, the eTorque mild hybrid options for the Ram 1500 are but a pale imitation of the PowerBoost® option on the Ford F-150.
Of course, when it comes right down to it, a pickup truck should provide more utility than other sedans or SUVs and that's where the new Ford F-150 really distinguishes itself. You see, while the Ram 1500 offers some unique features like RamBox cargo management and a multi-function tailgate, those features don't measure up to the utility that the Ford F-150 offers with Pro-Power Onboard. With this innovative system, you can turn your truck into a portable generator for tools, gear, and other powered accessories on the go. Need some lights for nighttime work in Greenwood, OK? What about an electric griddle for your next tailgate outing? Whatever the case, the new Ford F-150 with Pro-Power Onboard provides the juice you need to accomplish any task.
