The Showdown You Wanted: 2015 Ford F-150 vs. Ram 1500 vs. Chevrolet Silverado
Tale of 2 Alloys: Aluminum F-150 Takes On its Steeliest Competitors
Fully aware of the weight these vehicles carry with their builders and their buyers, we brought together the big three: Chevy, Ford, and Ram. Each has launched an all-new model within the past five years stuffed with significant updates based on volumes of customer research. Each brand is confident that its truck represents the best answer to the truck customer's competing needs in towing, hauling, fuel economy, and comfort.
From Chevrolet, we have the Silverado 1500 LTZ with its 5.3-liter EcoTec3 V-8. From Ford, the F-150 Lariat with a 2.7-liter twin-turbo EcoBoost V-6. From Ram, we have the Ram 1500 Outdoorsman with its 3.0-liter EcoDiesel turbo-diesel V-6. We drove them well over 1,000 miles through California and Arizona empty, loaded, trailering, in cities, on highways, and in the mountains to determine which is the best all-around truck.
Before that, though, we pored over customer research from multiple sources in order to understand how truck buyers in this class actually use their vehicles so that we could base our judgment on their needs.
