Simply opening the driver's side door will give you insight into why the 2020 Ram 1500 is a better pickup truck for drivers in Montreal or anywhere in Canada. The cabin is more refined and luxurious than the Ford F-150, boasting high-end materials and incredible technology. The Ram 1500 offers an optional 12-inch touchscreen infotainment system that beats out others in the class, providing both style and substance. In addition, there are more optional upgrades to the Ram 1500, giving it a comfortable and stylish feel. It offers wood ingrain and leather seating on the Laramie Longhorn version, which beats out the F-150's Platinum model. But no matter which model is test driven or bought, the Ram 1500 interior will always be made of higher quality materials.
The Ram 1500 simply offers more power than the Ford F-150. The 2020 Ram 1500 comes in three different engine options. The standard is a 3.6-litre Pentastar Variable Valve Timing (VVT) V6 engine, which offers 305 horsepower plus 269 lb-ft of torque. There are also two available engine upgrades--a 5.7-litre HEMI VVT V8 or a 3.0-litre EcoDiesel V6 on some models. The real game-changer is the EcoDiesel engine. It offers gains in fuel economy, towing, and payload and is rated at an astounding 10.5 L/100km for city driving and 7.3 L/100km for highway driving. The 2020 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel provides 480 lb-ft max torque, 5,783 kg max towing, and 1,043 max payload. This makes the 2020 EcoDiesel the most capable Ram 1500 ever produced. The 1500's competitors--including the 2020 Ford F-150 at 5216 kg--cannot meet the 1500's towing capability, even with their largest and most powerful engines.
The 2020 Ram 1500 brings eTorque technology to the forefront--an offering not found on Ford F-150s. This technology uses a 48-volt battery to reduce fuel consumption without compromising performance. Exclusive to the 2020 Ram 1500, this system optimizes the stop/start system and injects additional torque at low speeds. The increase in fuel economy is the easiest way to remember that the eTorque system is working for drivers--it is such a seamless addition to the truck that drivers quickly forget it is even there.
The 2020 Ram 1500 offers so many benefits over the Ford F-150 and other trucks in its class that it is the best buy for drivers who want a comfortable and capable truck in Montreal. It is one of the most complete trucks available, providing power and performance while maintaining subtlety and comfort. With more engine options, more safety options, and more everything, the 2020 Ram 1500 is the right choice.
