Ford F150 Vs Tundra
I did google the topic, the first shows up is a clip, a tundra pulls a F150.9 P% J5 y/ Z+ g: l# x/ n& h

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.' |; f3 ~8 U( t% ^+ z9 J" i

I do believe if anyone had chance to drive a Tundra (2007-newer), will change their mind.

" d5 g% o4 {* M% ~* v' R e1 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)4 H, p n# G/ _( N
$ s: T7 G$ l1 T/ q g1 |. r& ~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: AGREE7 ^0 A5 Q6 L$ l/ S. J, v7 R
, {% I7 s0 w" ^; O2 h' L3. The Ford rides pretty well. I'd give the two a tie for interstate cruising. HRU: AGREE EVEN IN CITY, FORD HANDLES NICE ALSO

Quality - the front plastic fascia on the Ford has already come loose.( HRU: AGREE )

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!
