Interior Comfort
Most trucks aren't used for work; they are daily drivers used on the weekend for adventures and projects around Portland. There is no need to be uncomfortable on your commute to work. The F-150 offers an extra three inches of leg room up front, a full 43.9 inches to the Ram's 40.9 inches. Don't worry if you're on the shorter side. The F-150 can have optional adjustable peddles. The rear is even bigger; A Crew Cab F-150 has 43.6 inches of legroom. The Ram might leave you with sore knees at 35.6 inches of legroom. Even if you don't have backseat passengers, the F-150 gives you plenty of room to store gear or tools.
Towing
Whether you tow every day or need to pull a stump after a storm took out a tree, you want the most capacity you can get in South Portland. The Ram has a maximum tow capacity of 11,580 pounds. The Ford F-150 has a maximum towing capacity of 13,500 pounds. That's nearly one ton of extra towing capability, and it can make a huge difference for work or play.
