If you have been looking for a tough and dependable truck, the Ram 1500 just may be the perfect choice for you. The Ram 1500 is impressive; however, it is not in a class of its own.

Exterior Design
The Ram 1500 features an exterior design that makes the truck both strong and efficient.

The 1500 also comes with an advanced suspension system in the front that features a coil-over-shock design. In the rear, there is a five-link progressive-rate coil suspension that provides optimal performance and control when hauling heavy loads. The Ford F-150 features a stylish body that is made from military-grade high-strength aluminum. The durable body sits on top of a fully boxed steel frame. While this design does help to make the truck more durable. The body and frame do not provide more durability than the 1500 offers. Additionally, the F-150's design is both heavy and bulky.

To add another level of comfort to the rear-seat passengers, the second-row seat is also able to recline. Like the Ram 1500, the F-150 offers available heated front seats. However, it does not offer available heated and ventilated back seats. Also, the F-150's cabin feels more cramped and crowded when adults sit in the second-row seats.
