the ford 3.7 V6 outperforms the rest of the naturally aspirated gasoline V6's hands down... i have one in my 2011 F-150... the GM 4.3 has its own following due to being able to modify it since its a Pushrod motor..but in stock factory configuration, the ford 3.7 wins

Edmunds tested a
3.6L V6 Ram 1500 3.55 against a 3.7L V6 F150 3.73

...and that's with a more "performance" oriented 3.73 axle ratio in the F150 vs the Ram's 3.55.
