2022 Ram 1500 vs 2022 Ford F-150 Comparison
2022 Ram 1500 Overview
Ram versus Ford is one of the classic comparisons when it comes to full-size American pickup trucks, and the conversation gets even more interesting with the arrival of the 2022 models for both makes. While the new Ram 1500 arrives at Puente Hills Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram with additions and refinements to both its standard and optional features, it is the new packages that are grabbing the headlines. These include the 10th Anniversary Edition of the range-topping Limited, an off-road-oriented take on the Big Horn called the BackCountry Edition and the sportier G/T loadout for the Laramie and Rebel. The biggest news for the new F-150 is the return of the Raptor, but in this review, we will compare the 2022 Ram 1500 vs 2022 Ford F-150 with an emphasis on the features that concern the average consumer.
Exterior – Ram Dealer serving City of Industry CA
The 2022 Ram 1500 is available in two cab styles: a crew cab and an extended cab that Ram calls its quad cab. The 2022 Ford F-150 is available in three cab styles: a crew cab, an extended cab that Ford calls its SuperCab and a regular cab. We will not focus much on the regular cab since it is the least popular option, but if you are interested in it, then you may want to consider the Ram 1500 Classic. All cabs have four doors, but the crew cabs have all full-size doors whereas the extended cabs have smaller rear doors. Ram offers two bed lengths: a standard bed that measures 6 feet 4 inches and a short bed that measures 5 feet 7 inches. The extended cab comes with the standard bed, and the crew gives you the choice. Ford offers two bed lengths as well—5 feet 6 inches and 6 feet 6 inches—and is similar in that the crew cab gives you the choice, and the extended is paired exclusively with the longer bed.

Your choice of cab will also determine seating capacity and total passenger volume. The standard configuration for all four cabs is six-passenger seating in a 3-3 arrangement. You can also opt for bucket seats, which results in five-passenger seating in a 2-3 arrangement. Note that not all trim levels offer the five-seat option, and some of the upper trim levels include the bucket seats as standard equipment. In terms of spaciousness, headroom is relatively the same at 40 to 41 inches in the front and rear rows. The notable difference between the makes is that Ford offers more front legroom whereas Ram offers more rear legroom. The 2022 Ram 1500 provides more than enough for the average driver at 41 inches, but the Ford affords 44 inches. Ram offers one of the most spacious rear seats in the class, and that is true for the extended cab—35.6 vs 33.5 inches—and the crew cab: 45.2 vs 43.6 inches.
Ram 1500 Mechanical specs
For the mechanical section of this 2022 Ram 1500 vs 2022 Ford F-150 comparison, we will limit the discussion to the points we think are most compelling to the average consumer. A notable change for the 2022 Ford F-150 is that the diesel is dropped from the lineup. Therefore, if a diesel powertrain is what you want, then the Ram is the choice. Another advantage Ram has is the Tradesman HFE, which is an excellent option for drivers who want a pickup but also good fuel performance. As for the base powertrains, we think Ram wins here as well since its V6 is more powerful and features eTorque, and if you prefer a V8, Ram gives you the option of the mild-hybrid eTorque system with it as well.
Technology – Ram Dealership in City of Industry CA
When it comes to tech, the most notable difference between the 2022 Ram 1500 and 2022 Ford F-150 is the infotainment systems. Most automotive journalists agree that the new Uconnect 5 system is among the most capable and customizable systems on the market. Nevertheless, Sync 4 is quite sophisticated as well. As for other technologies, you will find most of the same options for both vehicles, including driver-assistance technologies, trailering-assistance technologies and so forth.
