Are you shopping for a pickup truck to help with jobs around home or work? The 2022 Ram 1500 Classic and the 2022 Ford F-150 are likely on your list. Both models are popular with drivers in Alberta, but one model is the better choice when it comes to horsepower and torque.
Let’s take a closer look at both base engines of the 2022 Ram 1500 Classic and the 2022 Ford F-150 to help you decide which is best for you:
2022 Ram 1500 ClassicÂ
Base Engine: 3.6L Pentastar V6 with Variable Valve Timing
Horsepower: 305
Torque: 269 lb-ft
2022 Ford F-150
Base Engine: 3.3L Ti-VCT V6
Horsepower: 290
Torque: 265 lb-ft
As you can see, the 2022 Ram 1500 Classic and the 2022 Ford F-150’s base engines are almost neck-in-neck when it comes to torque at 269 lb-ft and 265 lb-ft, respectively. However, where the Ram excels is horsepower. The higher the HP means the faster and stronger the truck is. With 15 more horses in the 2022 Ram 1500 Classic versus the 2022 Ford F-150, you can expect better overall performance and acceleration for merging and passing on the highway.

Alberta drivers shouldn’t have to settle for less when it comes to hauling ability. When you want first-class payload capacity, the 2022 Ram 1500 Classic – available from St. Paul Dodge – is an obvious choice. Models, like the 2022 Honda Ridgeline, think they can compare, but when stacked side-by-side, the Ram 1500 Classic is the clear winner.
Here is a closer look at the 2022 Ram 1500 Classic and the 2022 Honda Ridgeline payload-carrying abilities:
2022 Ram 1500 ClassicÂ
Engine: 3.6L Pentastar V6
Transmission: TorqueFlite eight-speed automaticÂ
Drivetrain: 4x2 (4x4 is available)
Payload Capacity: 875 kg (789 kg with 4x4)
In addition to a higher payload capacity, the 2022 Ram 1500 Classic comes equipped with a large bed to carry more cargo. Regular cab models with the eight-foot bed measure 2,497 mm with a wall-to-wall bed width of 1,687 mm. The 2022 Honda Ridgeline, on the other hand, has smaller dimensions with a bed length of 1,625 mm and a width of 1,270 mm between the wheel wells. When carrying big loads, every millimetre matters.

If you’re shopping for a well-equipped work truck for around the job site, the 2022 Ram 1500 Classic Tradesmen is an excellent choice. This full-size pickup – available from St. Paul Dodge in Alberta – features a roomy cabin with several features designed for the comfort and convenience of you and your crew.
Keyless entry and power door locks make it easy to start your day, and the Tradesmen trim includes a standard keyless start for your convenience. However, when comparing the 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Work Truck, these features are optional, except keyless start, which isn’t available on this model. You also get a standard vehicle anti-theft system on the Ram 1500 Classic Tradesmen for extra peace of mind; yet, this feature is not found on the Silverado base model.
Variable speed intermittent wipers ensure visibility in bad weather conditions, and standard cruise control makes for a relaxing drive on long stretches of highway. Air conditioning is also included in the 2022 Ram 1500 Classic Tradesmen. Additionally, you can expect to find an onboard hands-free communications system and wireless smartphone hookup in the Ram pickup base trim. Once again, these features are optional on the 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Work Truck.
Why settle for less when you can have more in the 2022 Ram 1500 Classic Tradesmen? Contact us at St. Paul Dodge in Alberta for a full comparison review of this full-size pickup. Our team will happily go over spec and feature information with you.

When it comes to performance, the 2022 Ram 1500 Classic – available from St. Paul Dodge in Alberta – is far superior to the competition. This mighty machine offers two powerful engine options (each with eight-speed automatic transmissions), while its main competitor, the 2021 Toyota Tundra, only provides one.
The 2022 Ram 1500 Classic comes standard with a 3.6L Pentastar V6 with Variable Valve Timing and a sophisticated Thermal Management System, which ensures optimal performance with 305 hp and 269 lb-ft of torque. The available 5.7L HEMI V8 engine unlocks 395 hp and 410 lb-ft of torque. With this block, you can haul confidently with a maximum towing capacity of 4,817 kg. Payload capacity is equally stout, with a maximum rating of 821 kg.
If you’re considering the 2021 Toyota Tundra, your only engine choice is the standard 5.7L V8, which features Dual Independent Valve Timing. It connects to a six-speed automatic transmission and delivers 381 hp and 401 lb-ft of torque – much less than the 2022 Ram 1500 Classic. In addition, you’ll have less towing capacity with the Tundra, with only 4,626 kg of pulling power.
Don’t settle for less performance when you can have it all with the all-new 2022 Ram 1500 Classic. To schedule a test drive in this truck, contact our team at St. Paul Dodge in Alberta today.
