2022 Ram 2500HD / 2022 Ford Super Duty Comparison

2022 Ram 2500HD vs. 2022 Ford Super Duty 

Ram trucks are well-regarded for their power and their reliability. Undertaking even the most demanding towing and hauling tasks in mid-Michigan is made easy with the 2022 Ram 2500HD. With powerful engines available throughout the lineup, the Ram delivers a satisfyingly robust response every time the gas pedal is pressed. A spacious cabin is a welcome addition to keeping passengers comfortable while on the go. Compared to a main rival in the 2022 Ford Super Duty, the Ram showcases its superb advantages as a heavy-duty pickup truck.  

Performance 

Right from the start, the Ram 2500HD demonstrates greater performance compared to its Ford counterpart. The massive 6.4L V8 engine under the hood of the baseline Ram 2500HD delivers a sensational 410 horsepower for plenty of power when the driver needs it most. Coupled with a responsive eight-speed automatic transmission, the Ram 2500HD handles the most strenuous hauling and towing tasks with poise. Comparatively, the Ford Super Duty is equipped with a standard 6.2L V8 engine. This smaller engine offers drivers 385 horsepower, leaving the Ford lacking that extra bit of muscle that Ram drivers get to enjoy. Additionally, the standard transmission for the Super Duty is an automatic six-speed. Customers who prefer a diesel engine for the extra torque will find that both vehicles offer special options based on the selected trim of the respective truck. Both heavy-duty pickups are equipped with standard RWD handling. However, select trims of both brands can also have AWD maneuverability for everyday mid-Michigan hauling and towing needs. The standard Ram 2500HD can tow up 15,000 pounds with ease, while the baseline Ford offers only just under 13,000 pounds of towing capacity.  

Interior Features 

Regardless of if the truck is undertaking heavy hauling tasks or is just being used for conventional trips around town, the cabin of the 2022 Ram 2500HD is built for a more luxurious and comfortable feel. Passengers will enjoy the standard noise-canceling components and acoustic glass that every Ram 2500HD offers to reduce noise from the outside. This is something that Ford does not offer its passengers. Both pickup trucks cater to the modern needs of the discerning mid-Michigan customer with a plethora of standard and available infotainment applications and features. Smartphones can connect to the systems through standard Bluetooth® for hands-free device usage, as well as streaming audio for personalized media content. They also both can be upgraded to include a wide variety of systems ranging from both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration to premium systems such as SiriusXM® radio and integrated navigation. 

Safety Features 

Both heavy-duty pickups are equipped with driver-assistive systems to help keep drivers in command of their vehicles during strenuous operations such as towing or when cornering in slippery conditions. Electronic Stability Control and Roll Stability Control are welcome additions to the trucks as they keep the vehicles under the driver's command during more demanding turns or when facing uneven driving surfaces. Driveline Traction Control is also standard on both vehicles and delivers improved handling response in virtually any weather condition. When combined with their respective AWD platforms, mid-Michigan drivers can be confident they will be able to navigate even the slipperiest road conditions with reliability. Additional systems including Blind Spot Monitoring and Adaptive Cruise Control are available on select trims of both the Ram 2500HD and the Ford Super Duty.
