The 2020 Ram 1500 Classic and 2020 Ford Ranger are two of the most popular mid-sized pick-ups in the Langley, BC area. Trucks in this category are exceptionally useful for work and recreation, but they often sacrifice fuel economy for performance. The Ram 1500 Classic and Ford Ranger are both powerful vehicles, able to tow 4,484 kg and 3,400 kg, respectively. Do you have to give up efficiency to get this level of pulling muscle? This factor is more important than you might think because gas use affects the cost of operation, which can be a big deal if you use your auto for work.
Here is how two entry-level trims, the 2020 Ram Classic ST and 2020 Ford Ranger XL, compare.
Â
2020 Ram 1500 Classic ST

2020 Ford Ranger XL
Engine: 2.3L EcoBoost I-4

You also get additional features, including electronic stability control, P265/70R17 BSW all-season tires, and multi-link coil spring heavy-duty shock absorbers.Â
If you care more about power and less about fuel consumption, the ST, like all Ram 1500 Classic trims, comes with an optional 5.7L HEMI V8 engine.Â
