Analysis:   Dodge Ram Lonestar Starts at a lower MSRP and gives the consumer more equipment for that price! In the places the Ford F150 "beats" Ram in the comparison it is barely a difference, most of the times not even a noticeable difference. Starting with Max towing: Ford tows more, but ask yourself this question. "What do I own that weighs between 10150 and 11500?" The answer is really nothing!!! Ram can tow ANYTHING that you would want to tow with a 1/2 ton from boats, cars, motorcycles, trailers, and on...10150 lbs is plenty of towing capability for any 1/2 ton. As far as the Payload difference goes, 70 lbs is less than the weight of a teenager. Finally we get to the Bed Volume that Ford has 16 cu. ft. more than Ram, but the difference is in height. Ford created a higher bed to give it the additional "space" but the difference has real no practical application. Final thoughts are; Dodge Ram has more where it matters, is more comfortable with A/C vents in the back, and safer for ALL occupants! Dodge Ram 1500 Lonestar...The Truck of Texas for a reason!
