2021 FORD F-150 PLATINUM VS. 2021 RAM 1500 LIMITED: COMPARISON

EV Channels Review

This comparison pits the 2021 Ford F-150 Platinum PowerBoost Hybrid against the 2021 RAM 1500 Limited eTorque, both representing the pinnacle of luxury trucks. The F-150, while more expensive, boasts a more powerful hybrid system (430 hp, 570 lb-ft torque) and a faster acceleration, coupled with Ford's innovative hands-free highway driving system and a superior generator capability. Its interior offers massaging seats and a flat-folding shifter. However, the RAM 1500 Limited, with its optional air suspension, delivers a superior ride quality, often compared to luxury SUVs, and a quieter cabin experience (57 dB vs. F-150's 52 dB). The RAM also offers a more luxurious interior feel with higher quality leather and real aluminum accents, plus ventilated rear seats and under-floor storage. While the F-150 excels in power and tech features like wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, the RAM's comfort and refinement, particularly its air suspension, make it a strong contender for ultimate luxury. The F-150 does achieve better fuel economy (24 combined MPG with AWD). Ultimately, the choice hinges on prioritizing raw power and advanced tech (Ford) versus unparalleled ride comfort and interior luxury (RAM).
