The Ford F-150 vs the Competition
Compare the Ford F-150 to the Competition at Jensen Le Mars Ford
The Ford F-150 continues to be a standout here at our dealership in Le Mars, serving Sioux City, SD. It's tough, reliable, and has plenty of options. We want you to see how it stacks up against the competition and why so many choose the F-150 to be their personal truck of choice.
Ford F-150 vs. the Ram 1500
There are many ways the F-150 beats out the Ram 1500, giving those in Le Mars and places like Merrill, SD, the chance to find the ideal truck that meets your needs for everyday use or on the job site.
Compare Towing & Payload
The Ford F‑150 can tow up to 13,500 pounds when equipped with the 3.5-liter EcoBoost and Max Tow package, and it has a maximum payload capacity of 2,440 pounds. The Ram 1500, equipped with its standard inline-six, can tow up to 11,610 pounds and carry a payload of 1,930 pounds. Even with its HEMI V8 engine, it offers a slightly lower towing capacity than the F-150, with 11,320 pounds and a payload of 1,650 pounds.
Compare Engines & Performance
The F‑150 offers versatility through six engine options: a 2.7-liter EcoBoost, a 3.5-liter EcoBoost in both standard and high-output, a 5.0-liter V8, a hybrid 3.5-liter PowerBoost, and a 5.2-liter supercharged V8. The 3.5-liter EcoBoost offers maximum towing capacity, while the hybrid enhances efficiency with a tow rating of 11,200 pounds.
The Ram 1500 offers three engine options: a 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 eTorque, a 3.0-liter Hurricane I‑6, and a 5.7-liter Hemi V8 eTorque. The standard Hurricane engine performs the best in towing capabilities among Ram's engine lineup, but still falls short of the capability that the Ford F-150 can provide.
As for technology to help you tow and haul, the Ford F-150 has a package that features Pro Trailer Backup Assist, Pro Trailer Hitch Assist, Smart Trailer Tow Connector, and Dynamic Hitch Assist, all designed for easy hitching and maneuvering which make it a modern option, with similar features to the Ram 1500 so you can feel confident choosing the F-150 and knowing it has the technology to help you.

Once again, the Ford F-150 demonstrates its edge over the competition.
Compare Engines & Performance
You'll find the Ford F-150 and its 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine is available as a standard choice for many, followed by a 3.5-liter hybrid engine, a 2.7-liter EcoBoost, and a 5.0-liter V8 engine to give you lots of choice. The Silverado offers many different engines, including a turbocharged four, along with a pair of V8 engines, but Ford provides just as much if not more, power, plus added capabilities.
Both vehicles also share many assistance features that help you with backing up, trailering, and cameras to help see your surroundings, as well, to make driving with a trailered load easier for you.
