Ford F150 Vs Tundra
I did google the topic, the first shows up is a clip, a tundra pulls a F150." X( o+ \' M3 T7 h

Becuase it is made by a toyota dealership, so, I doubt the credibility: no engine or model shown at all, so, it is not fair.

I personally believed U.S brand is superior than Jap in full size truck before, now, I am convinced that if Jap wants, it makes good truck as well.2 }: f. ` W8 [) l- z4 ?

% k: w3 b; Y" Y) _8 q/ C1 The Ford was hard to drive on the road. It had a tendency to "wander". My Tundra tracks rock solid straight, the Ford needs lots of little corrections. AGREE WHEN TOW A BOAT (HRU: I HAD TO KEEP CORRECTING STEERING WHEEL ON FORD, NOT TUNDRA, SAME BOAT, SAME ROAD)! F" Z& U+ I% R0 o1 X8 N8 R

3. The Ford rides pretty well. I'd give the two a tie for interstate cruising. HRU: AGREE EVEN IN CITY, FORD HANDLES NICE ALSO1 S1 s6 f# R! Q% R5 }

4. Power wise, no contest. I think the King Ranch is a very heavy truck, and it accelerates like it, even with the 5.4 L HRU: AGREE

Quality - the front plastic fascia on the Ford has already come loose.( HRU: AGREE )

The score here seems to lean strongly towards the Tundra. I still don't mind the King Ranch, though. The climate controls, rearview mirror, and leather seats ROCK!
