2022 RAM 3500 VS FORD F-350

Engines: Excellence Hidden Under the Hood

Hidden things are beautiful, mysterious, and downright magnetic because they keep us in a state of awe and wonder. These may not be the qualities that immediately come to mind when you think of a truck’s engine. However, just like the utilitarian catacombs of Market Street, the 2022 Ram 3500 and 2022 Ford F-350 powertrains are fascinating feats of engineering hidden just out of sight.

Each truck has a standard V8 gas engine. Although you can upgrade to more powerful diesel engines with each one, the base V8 motor offers plenty of power to help you haul produce to and from modern marketplaces around town.

In addition, the Ram 3500’s standard drivetrain has rear-wheel drive (RWD). This gives you a bit more control and stability for all driving and trailering conditions without the need for a trim upgrade.

Capability: The Tradition of Efficiency Continues

The buried network of catacombs includes 20,000 square feet of limestone passageways through which countless goods were hauled years ago.

Now, when you’re traversing thousands of miles a year carrying construction materials, animal feed, or gear, the Ram 3500 and the F-350 have the rock-like strength to haul with ease. The Ram 3500, though, is a bit stronger.

As the wheels of commerce keep turning in your world, the Ram offers you a bit more versatility for storage as well. While the F-350 offers BoxLink™, which only includes factory-installed tiedowns inside the flatbed to which you can attach additional storage accessories, the Ram has an available, ready-made storage system.

The RamBox® Cargo Management System has two lockable storage bins that double as coolers. These bins also have lighting and power outlets, so you can easily charge up your tools.

Ram 3500 vs F-350: Covered in Safety

Although the work of hauling thousands of pounds of materials can sometimes pose hazards, the workers of times past had the strength of limestone walls surrounding them to give them a sense of safety.

The 2022 Ram 3500 and 2022 F-350 both offer safety features that can keep you as secure as a stone foundation. Plus, these features have the state-of-the-art intelligence to help you be a better driver.

Each truck has these available safety and driver-assisting features:

• Forward collision alert with auto emergency braking
• Lane departure warning
• Blind spot alert system

In addition, the Ram has an available Adaptive Forward Lighting System. Absent in the F-350, this feature can turn your headlights up to 15 degrees in the direction of your intended travel path. It takes information gathered from the Ram’s steering wheel to anticipate your turns and points the light wherever you’ll need it next.
