The F-150 gets up to 18 MPG city and 25 Highway on their website, and 19/26 on the V6 if you just Google it...

Let's look at some other stats:

"2.7L EcoBoost highest EPA-estimated fuel economy ratings* of any gas-powered light-duty pickup with impressive 8,500-lb. maximum towing and 2,250-lb. maximum payload ratings, when properly equipped."

How did they get that?

2014 EPA-estimated fuel economy rating of 16 city/22 hwy/18 combined mpg, 3.5L EcoBoost V6, 4x2. Actual mileage will vary. 2016 EPA-estimated fuel economy rating of 17 city/24 hwy/20 combined mpg, 3.5L EcoBoost V6, 4x2. Actual mileage will vary.
When properly equipped. Class is Full-Size Pickups under 8,500 lbs. GVWR.

Did you know that there is no set standard for towing capabilities? Also, you are looking at just the numbers on power. What gets you real power? Less weight. The F-150 can weigh as little as 4,150 LBS, but the dodge's min weight is 4,516. That extra weight will make you a lot slower. Here is a video showing a lot of different peoples track times. You can skip to about 7:50 for the scores:

Ford is better lol.

EDIT: Oh, forgot to mention this one. The 3.5L eco boost V6 (Ford) makes 365 HP, and 420 torque. That blows out ram, doesn't it? Even the 2.7L beats Dodge with 325 HP, and 375 torque. That's pretty bad beings that the 2.7L Eco boost has 20 more HP than the ram all the while being almost 1 liter smaller in engine size.

As if that wasn't enough, the Ram has a 7610 towing cap, whereas the Ford has a 9100 towing cap. As mentioned above though, there is no set standard as to what these trucks have to do while towing that weight, but I'm just here basically tearing apart what you said lol. To add, the Ram has an 1,880 payload cap, and the Ford has a 2,320 payload cap.

All in all, there really isn't anything Ram is better than Ford in which is why Ford has been the best selling pick up over all for over 30 years.

I agree, but your price is a little off lol. The raptor starts at 44k. The most optioned out (all options available, most expensive one you can buy MSRP) is only 64k...

002 wrote Haha, I don't know, these half ton trucks are VERY close to eachother, if you think about it, who is maxing out a half ton truck for payload or towing regularly? Those people have gotten a 3/4 ton or a one ton truck, so those numbers don't really matter much. In the end it really comes down to which one looks cooler to you?
