Ford F150 Vs Tundra
I did google the topic, the first shows up is a clip, a tundra pulls a F150.- E' F4 | j) o) \* L/ w. f

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.

I am totally agree with 1-4 points, but I have no idea about gasmilage at all. 7 y: }. U( x# q7 \9 T

I do believe if anyone had chance to drive a Tundra (2007-newer), will change their mind. ! [& I, h& c6 R" ?5 U$ |' [. E9 i

I personally believed U.S brand is superior than Jap in full size truck before, now, I am convinced that if Jap wants, it makes good truck as well.

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:7 s& \5 a* H m. M

/ i/ z8 Z# }" l( f8 ~ M* L1 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)

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+ _; L* s* v; a

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

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!
