Ford F150 Vs Tundra
I did google the topic, the first shows up is a clip, a tundra pulls a F150.

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.9 a& K _: j. J* f

I do believe if anyone had chance to drive a Tundra (2007-newer), will change their mind. % d+ F6 R5 r- |0 B0 |6 v+ _

; t, v9 T1 ~6 i/ _8 P# aI recently drove a King Ranch F-150 to SC from MN, about 1400 miles. I do have to say that even though I'm a bit biased (being a Tundra owner), the Ford just can't hang with my Tundra. Some key differences:

1 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): Q; U0 ]; P- [

2. When going through mountain passes, the Ford was difficult to drive at speed through curves. I always felt like it was hard to control. I've driven my Tundra through passes, and it's much more "reassuring". hRU: AGREE3 q5 B7 c- A# r% `6 {

3. The Ford rides pretty well. I'd give the two a tie for interstate cruising. HRU: AGREE EVEN IN CITY, FORD HANDLES NICE ALSO

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" [5 T4 ~# p5 \3 y: Y, p

HRU: I also like Kingranch two tone seats and the farm smell of it! It is really a nice taste of color, but not the radio, center console cluster, green light of tach and speedo etc..
