Ford F150 Vs Tundra
I did google the topic, the first shows up is a clip, a tundra pulls a F150.. n1 `- \1 T. U. }* M
+ m% _$ g7 j* p7 \7 D# d& F& `8 CBecuase 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.

. v' |9 I0 N+ t+ lI 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:* o% O* a, A5 L) X6 R7 K

% b9 c! D2 g$ z" J" K0 K r1 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)' I% ?% h5 Q4 D; G6 j
z! o9 ?- A4 V2. 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/ f% ?" D2 s& I: ?* I

3. The Ford rides pretty well. I'd give the two a tie for interstate cruising. HRU: AGREE EVEN IN CITY, FORD HANDLES NICE ALSO7 O& E9 Q$ `4 F# x. v" I: H% g

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..
