Ford F150 Vs Tundra
I did google the topic, the first shows up is a clip, a tundra pulls a F150.$ S9 K3 Z9 W3 X' _

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., ~) m- L! n$ u) C$ _6 G+ y

I do believe if anyone had chance to drive a Tundra (2007-newer), will change their mind. / y" Q' ^9 Y- P' P! R9 r

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.

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:

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)0 b( s, h8 Y" j3 s; ]

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: AGREE

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..8 D" a, ?0 i: J# X2 W
