Ford F150 Vs Tundra
I did google the topic, the first shows up is a clip, a tundra pulls a F150.% y$ i5 \# F: l6 `9 \8 b0 }. D

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 Z3 P* d; M3 W9 P3 P

But I do found a guy's comment, very similar to my experience about F150 and Tundra.

1 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)

+ |0 A9 d$ _8 ?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

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. J: o! g- [" W( b. i" Q# g/ `
4 H# y( e; `8 g4. 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

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

K3 Z, A- Z2 a: uThe 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!
