Ford F150 Vs Tundra
I did google the topic, the first shows up is a clip, a tundra pulls a F150. f6 v( n( A; d* F
; ?4 l' d" j: T+ O# f; P) ABecuase 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.

The following is the google result I found and quote:

4 t; X; L9 A2 [- s. c7 W1 F3 ^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:' s. T! t" h, W5 O' y, u; R+ O

" G! j% E# G8 m9 Q- M' E% m1 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.

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

+ }% x7 B9 `& k! P9 O3. The Ford rides pretty well. I'd give the two a tie for interstate cruising. HRU: AGREE EVEN IN CITY, FORD HANDLES NICE ALSO

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: AGREE

5. Mileage: King Ranch - 14, Tundra - 18. HRU: NO IDEA

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..9 Q3 G5 P+ ?; |2 h, l( ^
