If you are seeking a diesel truck with robust capability for big jobs, the 2022 Ram 1500 is worth a test drive from St. Paul Dodge in Alberta. This rig affords Elk Point drivers with strong diesel horsepower and best-in-class torque ratings, unlike its main competitor, the 2022 Ford F-150.Optional on Laramie, Limited Longhorn and Limited trims, the 2022 Ram 1500 offers an available 3.0L EcoDiesel V6 engine. This block features compacted graphite iron and aluminum twin-cam heads with B20 biodiesel capability and Active Air Grille Shutters. With 260 horsepower and 480 lb-ft of best-in-class torque flowing through the eight-speed automatic transmission, the 2022 Ram 1500 delivers robust pulling power with a 5,696-kg towing capacity.
The 2022 Ford F-150, on the other hand, simply cannot compete. For its 2022 model year, the Blue Oval discontinued the F-Series truck’s 3.0L PowerStroke Diesel V8 engine in favour of an all-electric powertrain on the F-150 Lightning. If you want an F-150 diesel, you’ll have to settle for a 2021 model. You’ll also get less power and twist with 250 hp and 440 lb-ft of torque. The truck’s hauling abilities leave little to desire, too, with a 5,488 kg towing capacity.

The 2022 Ram 1500 – offered at St. Paul Dodge in Alberta – pairs its impressive max pulling power of up to 5,783 kg with innovative bed features that enhance the payload abilities of this truck. One example is the Ram 1500’s multifunction tailgate, which delivers divided-door flexibility. This ingenious feature far surpasses the 2022 Ford F-150’s standard tailgate in terms of convenience and versatility.Every trim of the 2022 Ram 1500 offers the available multifunction tailgate. The 60/40-split, swing-away doors provide quick access to the cargo bed without reaching over a conventional fold-down hatch. However, when big jobs call for traditional tailgate accessibility, the Ram 1500 can be lowered, holding up to 907 kg (2,000 lbs) in the open position.
The 2022 Ford F-150, on the other hand, does not offer divided-door accessibility into the truck’s bed. Instead, the only option is a conventional hatch that reveals a flat surface to write on. The maximum weight load for the Blue Oval’s tailgate is also not rated – meaning that Alberta drivers need to be careful when loading the bed with heavy cargo.
