Ford F150 Vs Tundra
I did google the topic, the first shows up is a clip, a tundra pulls a F150.$ c3 ^& h5 }5 R8 t* B) c/ F# 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.6 o! a' h0 | u, A" k& ]! M

5 ?" P5 j7 v8 W. k+ H$ R; |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:# W& ~# i: x- P

" E ]+ K s7 f0 f1 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)

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

The score here seems to lean strongly towards the Tundra. I still don't mind the King Ranch, though. The climate controls, rearview mirror, and leather seats ROCK! ) v4 x/ }+ i# [, d/ o. F6 q+ U
