RAM vs. Ford vs. Toyota: Comfort, Style and Driving

Posted on April 17, 2023

When comparing trucks, figures are often the first thing you look at: towing capacity, power, fuel consumption... And yet, choosing the right truck is so much more than just a matter of numbers!

The quality of the ride, the interior comfort as well as the style are factors that tip the balance. Find out today with your RAM dealership how RAM, Ford and Toyota trucks compare on these important points!

An Enjoyable Ride with RAM

We are not the ones saying it, but independent automotive journalists. In his comparison of the RAM 1500, Ford F-150 and Toyota Tundra trucks, Ezra Dyer of Car and Driver mentions ride and handling as RAM’s strengths:

“That trick suspension also imbues it with the best ride by far, a serene and solid glide that makes a Magic Eraser.”

In off-road conditions or simply on Québec roads, a magic eraser is what you want in a suspension. It is worth noting that the RAM pickup trucks offer:

• Standard reinforced shocks
• Bilstein performance shocks (Rebel)
• Active-Level four-wheel air suspension (Limited)
• Bilstein Black Hawk e2 shocks (TRX)

In comparison, the Ford F-150 offers a faster ride thanks to powerful engines, but the ride is not as well controlled or smooth. It’s even rather uncomfortable due to a suspension that lacks sophistication.

The Toyota Tundra also gives a pleasant ride, but it doesn’t stand out like the RAM.

Refinement, A Sought-After Quality

More and more, drivers are not only looking for a powerful and refined ride, but also a comfortable interior. And considering these elements, RAM is still a leader according to the experts! Whether you choose a RAM 1500, RAM 2500 or RAM 3500, you’ll get a good quality interior.

For example, here are the materials used on the seats of the three brands, standard on the different versions:

While the brands offer other paying options, it’s important to recognize that RAM not only offers more choices, but more premium choices. Critics are quick to mention that the Toyota truck uses low-end materials, while Ford has an interior described as “petrochemical” (Car and Driver).

Comfort: Who Scores?

We’ve mentioned materials, but obviously that’s not the only feature that counts. With RAM Canada, not only the quality of the interior, but also the comfort features and generous space make the difference.

For example, with the crew cab, rear passengers have more legroom in the RAM (45.2 inches) than in the Tundra (41.2 inches) and F-150 (43.6 inches).

If you’re traveling with your family, this configuration of the RAM is the most advantageous for you! Depending on the version, there are also features like:

• A 12-way power driver’s seat
• Heated and ventilated front seats
• Heated rear seats
• And much more!

This is a RAM pickup truck that all passengers will feel comfortable in. There are also convenient storage spaces inside the RAM, including a center console that provides storage for a 15-inch laptop and allows you to charge up to 5 devices.

Rugged Yet Functional Styling

Style is all about taste. But the RAM’s rugged design, with its large grille and badge, which can be either black or chrome, gives it a remarkable character.

Even more than its style, its functional aspect makes it even more distinctive, particularly with its multifunctional tailgate, which opens like a barn door or a traditional tailgate, and the RamBox, exclusive in its category.

The RamBox includes many convenient features such as being lockable and drainable, offering LED lighting, a power outlet and more.

While Ford also provides features like a tailgate work surface and an optional power outlet, the RamBox offers a complete set of features. As for the Toyota truck, it doesn’t deliver all the versatility of other pickup trucks for sale!

In short, the RAM truck grants you more comfort, high-end materials and superior driving quality in addition to remarkable ergonomics. Design yours with the RAM build and price, or come and meet the team at Trois Diamants Chrysler, your RAM dealership in Mascouche, near Highway 640 and Route 337!
