Exterior - 2021 Ford Super Duty
Both the 2021 Ram 2500 and Ford F-250 are available in three cab styles, but Ram uses terminology that may confuse consumers not familiar with them. Ford offers a regular cab, which is a traditional single cab; the SuperCab, which is a double cab with rear-hinged rear doors; and the SuperCrew, which is a crew cab with four full-size doors. Ram offers a regular cab, a crew cab and a Mega Cab. This is where the terminology is odd since Ram’s crew is actually a double and its Mega Cab is comparable to Ford’s SuperCrew. Ford offers a 6.75-foot box and an 8-foot box. The regular cab comes with the long bed, and the two extended cabs give you the choice of either bed. Options are similar with the Ram 2500. The differences are that the short bed measures 6 feet 4 inches, and the Mega Cab comes with the short box only.

The Ford and Ram regular cab can seat up to three with a front beach and up to two with front bucket seats. In both the regular, double and crew cabs, the front row is a bit more spacious in the Ford: an extra inch of headroom and about three additional inches of legroom. The extended cabs can seat up to six or five depending on your seating choice. The second row of the extended cabs are similar. Headroom is practically the same, and Ford offers a half inch more legroom. Note that in both cases, the crew cab offers about 10 inches more legroom than the double cab of the same brand.

In both cases, rear-wheel drive is standard, and four-wheel drive is optional. The F-250 base powertrain features a six-speed automatic and a 6.2L V6 rated for 385 hp and 430 lb.-ft. An optional 7.3L V8 is mated to a 10-speed and makes 430 hp and 475 lb.-ft. An optional turbo-diesel V8 is also mated to the 10-speed and makes 475 hp and 1,050 lb.-ft. The base powertrain for the 2021 Ram 2500 features an eight-speed and 6.4L V8 rated for 410 hp and 429 lb.-ft. An optional turbo-diesel V6—in all trims but the Power Wagon—is rated for 370 hp and 850 lb.-ft. The maximum towing capabilities of each truck are similar and among best in class, but the Ford F-250 comes out ahead: 22,800 vs 19,960 pounds.
Technology - 2021 Ford Super Duty dealer
The Ford F-250 provides drivers in Mount Dora Florida with many modern technologies, including an 8-inch color HD touchscreen, cruise control and Android and Apple device support. Ram offers a similar package with the main difference being it uses Uconnect rather than Sync.
Trim Levels - 2021 Ford Super Duty dealer
The 2021 Ford Super Duty is available at Prestige Ford in six trims: XL, XLT, Lariat, King Ranch, Platinum and Limited. The XL is a work truck. The XLT is well-equipped, and the Lariat is aimed at the average and perhaps family-oriented consumer. The King Ranch and Platinum are both luxury oriented, and the Platinum is the range-topper and includes practically all of the equipment available for the F-250. Ram offers the 2500 in six core trims as well: Tradesman, Big Horn, Laramie, Power Wagon, Longhorn and Limited. The Tradesman, Big Horn and Laramie compare to the F-250 XL, XLT and Lariat. The Longhorn and Limited compare to the Platinum and Limited. The Power Wagon is an off-road trim that does not have an equivalent in the Ford lineup. Likewise, the Western-themed King Ranch has no comparable in the Ram lineup.
