Ram 1500 vs Ford F-150 Air-Conditioner Test

May seem silly, but things like this are a huge deal in the South right now! Spoiler: Ford wins, doh!


Something I hadn't thought about before too, is that assuming the AC units are identical, could be a big bonus to the smaller cabs with a regular XLT in white w/ remote start being ice-cube city. Can't wait to see what the 2020 Ram regular cabs are like.

Since the Ford had a much lower vent temp I don't understand why the cab temps were so close..Does the Ram move more air?

I found out reading the comments that the test was completely invalid.

For some reason the Ram appears to have turned off its recirculate, or maybe it wasn't turned on, making the comparison unfair. Recirculate will make a huge difference on a hot day once the cab is below outside.

I missed that..If that's true the test is worthless.
