Ford F150 Vs Tundra
I did google the topic, the first shows up is a clip, a tundra pulls a F150.# m1 {+ ]: e5 j1 {+ [

I am totally agree with 1-4 points, but I have no idea about gasmilage at all.

% a* z( F/ [- T) k1 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

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& w1 c; E" R f7 \! H: {' `1 ^

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!
