Ram vs. Ford: Which American Truck is Best for You in Australia?

Choosing between a Ram and a Ford truck can be a tough decision, especially when both brands offer top-tier performance, towing capabilities, and luxury features. Here’s a breakdown of how they compare to help you decide which one suits your needs best.

1. Towing & Payload Capacity

• Ram 2500/3500: Renowned for their Cummins diesel engines, Ram trucks excel in towing heavy loads. The Ram 3500 can tow up to 16,800 kg (when properly equipped).

• Ford F250/F350: Ford trucks, particularly with the Power Stroke diesel engine, offer impressive towing as well, with the F350 capable of handling similar loads.

2. Off-Road Capability

• Ram: Features like the Power Wagon trim add serious off-road capabilities, including front and rear locking differentials.

• Ford: The Tremor package for Ford Super Duty trucks enhances off-road performance with upgraded suspension and all-terrain tires.

3. Interior & Technology

• Ram: Offers luxurious interiors with high-end materials, a massive 12-inch touchscreen, and a quiet cabin.

• Ford: Comes with tech features like the SYNC 4 system and Pro Power Onboard, making it more tech-focused.

4. Price & Availability in Australia

Both trucks require conversion to right-hand drive, and pricing depends on configuration and options. Ram trucks tend to have a slight edge in affordability due to better supply in Australia.

Which One Should You Choose?

If you need extreme towing power and luxury, the Ram might be your pick. If you prefer cutting-edge technology and off-road capability, Ford could be the better choice. At American Trucks Australia, we can help you find the perfect truck for your needs.
