See How the Ford F-150 Finishes Tasks Rival New Trucks Cannot

Best-in-class means a great deal to truck buyers as they search for a pickup that makes working in Lewiston or Auburn, ME a breeze. The 2023 Ford F-150 ranks best-in-class on several fronts, most notably in the capability department.

It won't take long for Poland, ME drivers and Lewiston contractors to see why the Ford F-150 continues to be America's best-selling truck. Before purchasing a pickup from your Auburn, ME Ford dealer, get an in-depth comparison to see why the F-150 is the perfect fit. Rowe Ford Auburn - home of the new F-150 - compares this full-size truck to the competition, including the Ram 1500, Chevrolet Silverado 1500, and the Nissan Titan.

Performance: F-150 vs. the Competition

• Maximum Towing Capacity: All lagging behind, the Nissan Titan (9,320), Ram 1500 (12,750), and Chevy Silverado 1500 (13,300) have lower towing capacities than the Ford's truck. The F-150 helps Poland, ME motorists pull trailers up to 14,000 pounds, a towing capacity that ranks best-in-class.
• Max Payload Rating: Are you transporting heavy payloads between worksites in Lewiston or Auburn, ME? Rely on the Ford F-150, which boasts a best-in-class max payload rating of 3,325 pounds, topping the Ram 1500 (2,300), Chevy Silverado 1500 (2,310), and the Nissan Titan (1,710) by over 1,000 pounds of payload weight.
• Engines & Horsepower: While the Nissan Titan can produce 400 horsepower and 413 pound-feet of torque through its Endurance® V8 engine, this is the truck's only engine, and it's missing a hybrid option like the F-150's PowerBoost™ Hybrid engine. The Ford F-150 gives Lewiston truck buyers five powertrain options, which is more than the Chevy Silverado 1500, which maxes out at 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque with its EcoTec3 V8 engine. The Ram 1500's Pentastar® V6 outputs 305 horsepower and 269 pound-feet of torque, while the HEMI® V8 achieves 395 ponies and 410 pound-feet of torque. These figures are lower than the Ford F-150, which has multiple EcoBoost® twin-turbo V6 engines outputting between 325 horsepower and 400 horsepower, along with a Ti-VCT V8 engine packing 400 horsepower and 410 pound-feet of torque. The Ford F-150 achieves the most torque at 570 pound-feet, topping these rival trucks. Two of its powertrains surpass 500 pound-feet of torque, and the Ford F-150 maxes out at 450 horsepower.
• Fuel Economy: Whether you're taking the Ford F-150 through the city streets of Lewiston or you're heading out from Poland, ME and pulling a trailer along I-95, you'll earn 25 miles per gallon. These fuel economy ratings top rival full-size trucks like the Nissan Titan, earning 16/21 (city/highway) miles per gallon. Non-turbodiesel powertrains for the Ram 1500 and Chevy Silverado 1500 only earn 20 and 19 miles per gallon, respectively, on city streets. The Ford F-150 is a more fuel-efficient truck for Auburn, ME motorists to work with!

Design: F-150 vs. the Competition

• Cab Configurations & Truck Beds: Bring more workers or companions along for the ride from Poland, ME to Lewiston or a job site with the Ford F-150, which seats up to six passengers and offers a SuperCrew Cab configuration that the other trucks can't match. The Ford F-150 is also available in Auburn, ME as a Regular Cab or Super Cab. The Ram 1500 comes as a Quad Cab or Crew Cab but is missing a long bed, with its longest box spanning 76 inches. The Nissan Titan, available as a King Cab or Crew Cab, only has a 78-inch truck bed. The Chevy Silverado 1500 (Regular Cab/Double Cab/Crew Cab) and Ford F-150 both have truck beds spanning over eight feet, giving Auburn, ME motorists more room to work with.
• Utility: The RamBox® Cargo Management System is similar to BoxLink™ in the Ford F-150, helping Lewiston drivers secure their cargo. The Nissan Titan offers a Utili-track system, while the Chevy Silverado 1500 is missing a similar system. None of these new trucks can match the Ford F-150's Tailgate Work Surface or Interior Work Surface, both of which help Lewiston contractors on the job. The Ford F-150 even features Pro Power Onboard with 7.2-kW of power, as this class-exclusive feature gives Poland, ME motorists a power source and turns the truck into a mobile generator.

Tech: F-150 vs. the Competition

• Technology: Equipped with SYNC®4 technology, navigation, and wireless Apple CarPlay®/Android Auto™ integration, the Ford F-150 keeps Poland, ME drivers connected between jobs. The Nissan Titan offers navigation, but its largest touchscreen is only nine inches. The Ram 1500 offers Uconnect® 5 technology and a 12-inch display, while the Chevy Silverado 1500 features wireless smartphone access and a 13.4-inch touchscreen.
• Safety: These new trucks give Auburn, ME helpful assists through standard safety suites. Ford Co-Pilot360™ comes with the F-150, compared to Nissan Safety Shield® 360 in the Titan and Chevy Safety Assist in the Silverado 1500. The Ram 1500 is missing a comprehensive safety suite. Thanks to Ford BlueCruise, the F-150 lets Lewiston drivers tow trailers hands-free along I-95. The Chevy Silverado 1500 counters with Super Cruise™, but there's no hands-free towing ability for the Ram 1500.
