2010 Ford F-150 vs 2010 Dodge Ram 1500

The F-150 was recently redesigned and takes on a more aggressive look compared to the previous generation which was softer but looked more refined.

The Ram looks like a beast with an enormous front end and equally enormous crossbar over the grill. The grille has grown larger and larger ever since the first generation.

Unique to the F-series is the kink in the front windows. This is to increase driver visibility.

The bed looks relatively puny compared to the massive front end.
It should be noted that both the F-150 and the Ram 1500 come in numerous trims that look significantly different from one another. The Ram comes in five different trims and the F-150 comes in nine.
The interiors actually look fairly similar with wood trim for the center stack and a metal finish surrounding it. Both have sharp edges giving them the masculine look trucks should always have. Both have come a long way in how upscale they are compared to long ago.
