2024 Ford F-150 vs 2023 RAM 1500

Do you remember when pickup trucks were used only by construction workers and gardeners? They were work machines, meant to have scratched beds, a cab full of McDonald’s wrappers, and a big dent on the tailgate from an unfortunate run-in with a telephone pole.

Not anymore. Today’s trucks give luxury vehicles a run for their money, with fancy features and ridiculous amounts of technology. Today we’re looking at the 2023 Ram 1500. This truck hasn’t gotten a major update since 2019, and while it still holds its own next to the offerings from Ford, Chevrolet and Toyota, the others are catching up quickly.

For 2024, this full-size truck under Canada’s best-selling nameplate gets a few tweaks both inside and out. The performance upgrades are most noticeable on the off-road-specific models, Tremor and Raptor R, but Ford’s hands-free driving assist Blue Cruise gets an update as well.

Verdict: The 2024 Ford F-150 gets even better with a few thoughtful improvements like a multi-functional tailgate, standard 12-inch touchscreen, and more available interior technology. Blue Cruise is also updated, making the F-150 the truck to beat in the segment.
