Ford F150 Vs Tundra
I did google the topic, the first shows up is a clip, a tundra pulls a F150.1 ~4 Y! ^, x0 U% R
. [2 {5 h. h! n0 R* JBecuase it is made by a toyota dealership, so, I doubt the credibility: no engine or model shown at all, so, it is not fair.

But I do found a guy's comment, very similar to my experience about F150 and Tundra.

I do believe if anyone had chance to drive a Tundra (2007-newer), will change their mind. # F5 ^) x4 I$ u# ]6 i! i9 ]8 E( j

* R+ {' B$ N) S* EI 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)
* T- k% }2 B, U& Z _
% ~( v6 l$ \& H7 f/ T. Q* ?& E2. 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: AGREE

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' {# Q8 Y9 i# N* M" F* ~0 m4 v

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% U& f9 |6 [. O

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