When it comes to choosing a rugged and capable pickup truck, two of the most popular options are the Ford F-150 and the RAM 1500. Both trucks offer impressive performance, towing capacity, and features. But which one is the best choice for tackling the diverse roads and terrain of South Carolina? Here at Ravenel Ford, we believe the Ford F-150 comes out on top. Let's take a closer look at how these two trucks compare.
Power and Performance
The Ford F-150 offers six powerful engine options, including a 3.5L PowerBoost Full Hybrid V6. This class-exclusive engine delivers 430 horsepower and 570 pound-feet of torque, allowing the Ford F-150 to tow up to 14,000 lbs. The RAM 1500 offers several engine options as well, but falls short of the Ford F-150's maximum towing capacity.
Whether you're hauling heavy equipment to a job site in Ravenel, SC or towing a boat out to the coast near Charleston, you can count on the Ford F-150's superior towing capabilities. The Ford F-150 also boasts best-in-class payload capacity, making it ideal for transporting materials and gear around Walterboro.
Technology and Safety
The Ford F-150 is loaded with advanced technology features to keep you connected, entertained and safe on the roads of Johns Island, SC. The available SYNC 4 system includes an expansive 12-inch touchscreen, voice-activated navigation, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity.
When it comes to safety, the Ford F-150 offers Ford Co-Pilot360 2.0, a comprehensive suite of driver-assist technologies. Features like Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane-Keeping System, and Adaptive Cruise Control help give you greater peace of mind as you travel around Hollywood.
Rugged and Refined
Inside and out, the Ford F-150 offers a winning combination of rugged capability and refined craftsmanship. The spacious interior is thoughtfully designed with premium materials and practical amenities. From the job site to a night out in Charleston, the F-150 transitions seamlessly.
With its high-strength, military-grade aluminum-alloy body and fully boxed high-strength steel frame, the Ford F-150 is built for tough South Carolina conditions. It's more than ready to handle everything from rocky trails to rural roads around Walterboro.
While the RAM 1500 is a solid truck in its own right, we believe the Ford F-150 offers the superior choice for drivers and families in the South Carolina Lowcountry.
