CloseOne surprising characteristic of the 2023 Ram 1500 is the smooth ride provided by the exclusive rear-coil spring suspension. That would be the smoothest ride of all light-duty trucks. Let’s look at power and performance.
The 2023 Ford F-150’s standard engine is the 3.3-liter V6 engine that delivers 290 horsepower. The 2023 Ram 1500 is equipped with the award-winning Pentastar® 3.6-liter V6, which, combined with Ram’s TorqueFlite® eight-speed automatic transmission, generates 305 horsepower. There are more engine options for the Ram 1500, including the available 5.7-liter V8 HEMI® engine. This powerful engine cranks out 395 horsepower and 410 lb.-ft of torque. Towing capability on the Ram 1500 is excellent – you can pull up to 12,750 pounds.
The interior cab of the 2023 Ram 1500 is full of standard features, some of which are not available on the 2023 Ford F-150. For instance, the Ram 1500 can be equipped with class-exclusive in-floor storage and ample rear leg room in the crew cab. The upscale and well-appointed interior cabin of the Ram 1500 is larger than the F-150’s, with 136 cubic feet of passenger space.
Moving on to some of the premium standard equipment on the base-level Tradesman, you’ll find the Ram Uconnect® infotainment system, heated and power-adjustable exterior mirrors, power windows and door locks, 18-inch steel wheels, and cruise control. You will find even more premium features on higher trim levels of the Ram 1500, including chrome bumpers, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, LED exterior lighting, a power-sliding rear window, and premium leather upholstery.
When we compare the 2023 Ram 1500 to the 2023 Ford F-150, the light-duty pickup that comes out ahead is the Ram. And the top place to find and test drive the 1500 is Watson Benzie, LLC, near Traverse City and Cadillac.
