Ram 1500 vs Ford F-150: Assistive Towing Technologies
One of the chief reasons you're likely looking for a pickup truck is its towing capabilities. When you have a strong truck on your side, you can reliably hitch up your equipment to take to a job site or something fun, like a boat, ATV, or trailer full of fun gear. You'll want to spend less time getting it ready and more time out on the road.
One way you can more easily get ready for the tow job you have planned is with the available Trailer 360° Surround View Camera on the Ram 1500. This additional feature makes the Ram 1500 a breeze to hitch up to your trailer and get moving.
This enhanced camera, combined with the Trailer-Tow Power-Fold Mirrors, helps you have a full view all around your trailer and truck. These extra angles help when you have to reverse your hitch to your trailer, so you can spend less time fiddling and hit the road sooner.
While you can find an optional 360° camera and trailer-tow mirrors on the F-150, you won't find a power-folding function for these mirrors.
The TRX Difference
One area where the Ram 1500 excels is with its special edition. The Ram 1500 TRX unlocks an entire world of possibilities for you to take advantage of. What are the perks, you may be asking? Here's how it outpaces the competition.
The Ram 1500 TRX comes with the Supercharged 6.2L HEMI® V8 engine, which roars to life when you rev it. It's supercharged for even more power as you take to the uneven paths and whatever other obstacles you come across. This motor generates an astonishing 702 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque that's yours to command.
When you compare this HEMI® powered engine to the Ford F-150, the difference is clear. The strongest available engine for the F-150, a High-Output 3.5L EcoBoost® V6 motor, generates 450 horsepower and 510 lb-ft of torque. When epic adventuring is on the table, the sheer force of the Ram 1500 is clear.
