Comparing the 2014 Ram 1500 and the 2014 Ford F-150

When it comes down to the latest models of powerful trucks, the 2014 Ram 1500 and the 2014 Ford F-150 come out on top. These two powerful vehicles have all of the latest innovations and technological upgrades imaginable! We'll go over some important differences between the two leading trucks and compare them together side-by-side.

2014 Ram 1500
The 2014 Ram 1500 comes packed and loaded with a roomy crew cab with a total amount of six available seats throughout the truck. Even though the Ram 1500 has a full 8-speed automatic transmission, the truck gets great gas mileage! The fuel economy results show that this model gets an average of 18 mpg in the city and an astounding 25 mpg on the highway. These results show just how much Dodge has invested in making the new 2014 lineup more economical in terms of fuel usage.

The new 2014 Ram 1500 also comes packed with a great basic warranty. Newly purchased, leased or financed Ram 1500's come with a 3 year or 36,000 mile warranty. For the new owner, this simply means whichever of the two figures comes first - either 3 years or the 36,000 mile mark. For drivers who aren't going to be on the road much this means the coverage will likely end at the end of the third year from the date of purchase. Otherwise it ends after the vehicles mileage surpasses the 36,000 mile mark.

The Uconnect infotainment gives you access to bluetooth, interior climate control and navigation. It's primarily built around being a strong, reliable vehicle. Everything from the engine type to the drive train has been redesigned to be more reliable for drivers. The Flex fuel engine mean the engine is capable of using more types of fuel. The four wheel drive and 8-speed automatic transmission work great together and can drive through even the harshest weather and roads.

2014 Ford F-150
A close-up look at the new 2014 Ford F-150 shows that although the model looks like a Ram, the performance marks just don't compare. When it comes to mileage the fuel economy of the latest F-150 are about the same as last year's model. City mileage is 17 mpg and highway is 23 mpg. The basic factory warranty is still 3 year/ 36,000 miles with the 2014 Ford.

Like the Ram, the 2014 Ford F-150 comes ready with a flex fuel engine type. Also like the Ram the latest F-150 comes with an extended cab and can seat a total of six riders. Some things this truck does have over the 1500 is that it's Bluetooth enabled and comes with navigation technology. And as with the Ram this 2014 model does not come with heated seats. Aside from the two features, this truck falls short when it comes to the transmission.

The transmission specs of the 2014 Ford F-150 are a step down from the Ram's. Unlike the Ram (which comes packed with an 8-speed transmission) has more driver control, as the F-150 only a 6-speed automatic. Another setback with the F-150 is the engine. The 2014 series come with an 8-cylinder fully automatic engine which leaves no room for driver control. The 8-cylinder setback is also why the 2014 series F-150 gets such poor gas mileage.

The Verdict:
When it comes down to it both the Ford and the 2014 Ram 1500 are dependable work vehicles that come with industry standard warranties. When it comes engines, the Ram comes out on top with higher fuel economy and driver control. Both models feature near-identical four wheel drive-drive train. The 2014 models also feature the latest in fuel advances, offering the latest Flex fuel engines.
