Default F150 vs Ram 1500

Hi everybody. I'm new here. Actually I'm new to trucks, have lots of questions and hopefully you can help out.

I came across a F150 some time ago and I fell in love, especially because fits very well mine and my wife plans, traveling, outdoors etc. By the way I'm located in the Netherlands.
I'm sure many of you are F150 and Ram enthusiasts. I like the F150 a lot. Although I'm starting to like the Ram too, not as much as the Ford but I like it. Problem is I don't know enough of these two platforms. Can you help to understand differences, strength, advantages of both trucks? I really lack background and knowledge to make the choice.

Thanks

I did the search not too long ago and settled on the RAM. Love it. Regret nothing.

Ram seems to have better value for what you pay for, though Ford is the top selling truck so that sure says something. I know you can get more of "bells and whistles" with Ram without compromising. To me, that's a win. F-150 to me felt too boxy and bulky where the Ram drives more like a giant sedan. I think it has a lot to do with the suspension they have unless you get the rebel. My only MAJOR critique of Ram is the CONFUSING lineup. Laramie, limited, bighorn.... SLT?! I found that the Bighorn gives the best "luxury" package for me without being excessive.

These might help, they helped me!

At this point I'm definitely oriented towards the RAM. The 2019 Ram drives so much better than the F150. I agree with you, new Ram suspension certainly have lot to do with it. It feels so quiet inside. At least that's how it feels to me. As far as interior goes, I like the Ram better. Again that's personal.

I appreciate your feedback.
