Heavy-duty pickups like the Ford F-250 and Ram 2500 have plenty of power, but some automakers make buyers upgrade if they want to get more muscle. For this reason, it is useful to compare base engines and see what they offer.Â
Without upgrading, the 2021 Ram 2500 offers a muscular gas engine and a class-exclusive eight-speed automatic transmission. The Tradesman can pull 7,956 kg, which is more than sufficient for most commercial and recreational owners. If you need additional torque, an available 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel increases the hauling maximum to 9,072 kg.Â
The best way to appreciate the power of the 2021 Ram 2500 Tradesman is to get behind the wheel yourself. Contact our Saint Paul, Alberta dealership to schedule a test drive today.Â
Curious whether the 2021 Ram 1500 Classic SLT or Ford F-150 XLT delivers superior power to Alberta? Let's compare these two popular pick-ups, examining both torque and HP.
2021 Ford F-150 XLT
Standard Engine: 3.3L Ti-VCT V6Â Horsepower/Torque: 290/265 lb.-ft
The Ram truck comes out ahead in this comparison. Though the Ford F-150 provides suitable power for everyday demands, it fails to generate the potent performance needed for payload domination. With a Shift-on-the-Fly 4x4, heavy-duty shocks, and a rear stabilizer bar, the 2021 1500 Classic SLT is ready for any task Alberta drivers want to give it.
