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./ z% R) M2 K- e# E+ e

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.

5 Z8 J- M$ F7 W0 ^8 M& xI 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:0 l$ }# a& m4 n8 v2 l

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- M0 N2 l' x' h" E/ V6 \. g) Z

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
