Ford F150 Vs Tundra
I did google the topic, the first shows up is a clip, a tundra pulls a F150. y5 O& X. W4 R7 v, S
! n/ Y( b) v, gBecuase 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 do believe if anyone had chance to drive a Tundra (2007-newer), will change their mind. m8 J- ]2 [ U! T _# c3 @

I 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: M/ a4 H% k" L, U) l# e) p0 U/ A

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); x( [, S7 v3 j0 t* x N. A
6 O+ B( w% x% W& d! r) e: D4 s1 o8 r2. 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

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: AGREE2 @* k0 E( |2 \
