Ford and Dodge have been at war with each other for a while now. To prove which truck is better, we’re gonna look at which style customers prefer.

For example, Indeed, 60% of buyers won’t choose any safety upgrades at all. More safety features come in most of the Dodge trucks. The Ford trucks do not come with as much as a Dodge. What kind of trucks have safety systems such as lane-keeping assistance and blind spot monitoring? Well the Dodge Ram 1500 has multiple safety features such as, Anti-lock brakes, stability control, front and side impact airbags, overhead airbags, a security system and pretensioners.

For example, if one were to back up out of a driveway and there was a vehicle coming in the back, the truck would detect that and automatically brake, these features help you avoid collisions you might not have seen coming. Although Ford has some useful and good working features, Dodge overpowers Ford with it’s aerodynamic style and the cheap but impressive safety features. Performance is an important thing in a truck, and you can test the performance by doing tests on the truck.

On the other hand, The Ford reviews don’t say anything on how the smooth or rough the truck drives and also nothing about the box of the truck not shaking when driving off road.

Ford competes with other automobile industries on many factors such as price, quality, reliability, appearance, available features, and fuel economy just to name a few. Such intense competition within the automobile industry tends to put downwards pressure on prices, making it harder for Ford to put a price on vehicles that are similar to other cars produced by competitors.

Ford must be able to reasonably price vehicles so that customers still feel as if they are getting the best car for their money. Competitive pricing is a threat to Ford because it must increasingly rely on customer perceived value to differentiate its car quality from its competitors.
