I have both. Although I have never tried a race between the two I can say that the my 2002 Ram 1500 with 4.7 liter has way better accelaration than my 2005 F150 4.6 liter. The F150 does pull a lot stronger though. I will have to get my little bro in one and me in the other one of these days and go head to head. The F150 is a crew cab and the Ram is also quad cab.
Here are the specs for both of my trucks:
2005 F-150 4.6 liter, Super Crew
231 HP
293 ft lb of torque
2002 Ram 1500 4.7 liter, quad cab
235 HP
295 ft lb of torque

I`ll look into that. I am very happy with my ford. As i`ve posted in my 2007 project it looks nice and actually took it hunting today. For being 2wd I didnt even catch a though of being stuck. Not to start pricing out a good air intake and excaust system. I use to belong to a mustang fourm where they had sound bits for diffrent combo. Anyone have any clips for there trucks?

I dont think he was inquiring about trading his f-150, or about actually going fast.
Im pretty sure its okay to comapre acceleration between two vehicles even if there not the fastest things money can buy. Just because they are trucks dosent mean that someone cant be proud of how quick it is or upset how slow it is compared to another vehicle in its class.
Im getting sick of people saying go get a mustang if you want to go fast. You know what if i wanted to go fast i woulda gotten a mustang, but i have a F-150 and want to go faster than stock. Whats the big deal, people been making things faster since the dawn of the automobile. Just becasue its a truck means it cant go faster than Ford intended it to?
Anything wrong with that?
Sorry for the rant
Race your buddy and see to the OP. Id like to know whos faster, HP only takes you so far, where it makes its power in the RPM range can have a lot to do with how fast you go.
