There is no comparison in ride quality.

I agree the RAM 1500 does ride pretty good (my son has one) but is it due to coil springs or due to multi-link rear suspension? Can we separate the two since they come together as a package?

In any case, I expect an independent semi-trailing arm rear suspension on electric F-150 to improve on RAM’s multi-link even though both may use coil springs. Reducing unsprung weight/mass and making the two rear wheels independent when they hit bumps should help.
