2020 RAM 1500 vs. Ford F-150: A Different Pickup Bed

Have you seen the multifunction tailgate on the RAM 1500? It is amazing! Not only can it swing down to open like a traditional tailgate, but it can also split down the middle and swing open to the side. That means you can keep your trailer hitched while loading the bed. It also means you can load your cargo directly on the bed without having to reach over your open tailgate. It revolutionizes how you use pickups, and Ford has nothing like it.

We haven’t even talked about the available RamBox® Cargo Management System, yet. You won’t need to purchase a truck toolbox for your RAM 1500. There are two lockable, waterproof storage bins (one on each side) built right into the bed. And don’t forget about the 115-volt power outlet that’s built into the storage area. Charge your tools straight from the outside of your truck. These bed features are incredible, and you won’t find them on the F-150. So, which is better, the F-150 or Ram 1500? There’s no contest.
