• RAM offers class-leading diesel torque; Ford pushes higher conventional towing.
• Ford wins tech upgrades in 2026; RAM counters with a more refined interior.
• RAM HD still leads with Cummins reputation; Ford shines with Power Stroke updates.
• Both are built for Canadian winters and job site punishment.
• RAM offers better value with base models; Ford ramps up quickly in price.

RAM HD (2500/3500)

• Gas Option: 6.4L HEMI V8 (410 hp, 429 lb-ft)
• Diesel Option: 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel
  • Standard: 370 hp / 850 lb-ft
  • High-Output (3500 only): 420 hp / 1,075 lb-ft

Ford Super Duty (F-250/F-350)

• Gas Options:
  • 6.8L V8 (400 hp, 445 lb-ft)
  • 7.3L V8 (430 hp, 485 lb-ft)
• Diesel Option: 6.7L Power Stroke V8
  • Standard: 475 hp / 1,050 lb-ft
  • High-Output: 500+ hp / 1,200+ lb-ft (new for 2026)

Verdict: Ford’s high-output Power Stroke now edges past the RAM’s Cummins in brute power. But many Canadian buyers still trust the Cummins name for long-haul durability and serviceability.

RAM 2500/3500

• Max Towing (diesel):
  • 2500: up to 20,000 lb
  • 3500: up to 37,090 lb (fifth-wheel)
• Payload: up to 7,680 lb

Ford Super Duty

• Max Towing (diesel):
  • F-250: up to 23,000 lb
  • F-350: up to 40,000 lb (gooseneck)
• Payload: up to 8,000+ lb

Verdict: Ford wins on paper for max tow and payload, but RAM holds strong with smoother diesel delivery and a reputation for stable hauling. For drivers pulling equipment around LaSalle or hauling gravel to Tilbury, both trucks are more than capable.

RAM’s cabin continues to shine for fit, finish and everyday comfort.

RAM Highlights

• 12″ touchscreen (Uconnect 5)
• Optional Harman Kardon audio
• RamBox cargo management
• Quieter diesel cabin experience

Ford Highlights (2026 refresh)

• Sync 4 with 12″ or 13.2″ screen
• Upgraded Pro Power Onboard (up to 2.0 kW)
• Over-the-air updates
• More USB-C ports and wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay

Verdict: Ford’s 2026 updates narrow the comfort gap, but RAM’s interior still feels more premium—especially in Laramie and Limited trims.

Both lineups offer off-road packages and job-ready tools.

RAM

• Power Wagon model with factory lift, front locker
• Bilstein shocks, 33″ tires, sway-bar disconnect
• Auto-level rear air suspension (2500 only)

Ford

• Tremor Off-Road Package
• Trail Control + Rock Crawl modes
• Integrated 360-degree trailer camera

Verdict: Power Wagon is built for off-road toughness, but Ford’s Tremor trim has caught up. For winter job sites or backcountry work, either is a solid pick.

RAM HD

• Starts around $63,000 CAD (2500 Tradesman)
• Loaded Limited 3500 High-Output: $110,000+ CAD

Ford Super Duty

• Starts around $66,000 CAD (F-250 XL)
• Loaded F-350 Limited HO Diesel: $120,000+ CAD

Verdict: RAM undercuts Ford in base trims, which matters for budget-conscious contractors. Both escalate quickly with options. Provincial Chrysler offers payment-friendly plans with both prime and non-prime approvals (O.A.C.).

RAM HD is ideal for:

• Tradespeople wanting long-term Cummins reliability
• Drivers who prioritize interior comfort
• Value-seekers in towns like Essex or Kingsville

Ford Super Duty suits:

• Haulers chasing the biggest numbers on paper
• Tech-savvy drivers wanting the newest gadgets
• Fleet buyers who lean Ford for standardization
