Ford F150 Vs Tundra
I did google the topic, the first shows up is a clip, a tundra pulls a F150.

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.

But I do found a guy's comment, very similar to my experience about F150 and Tundra.: \8 M/ N* S* o5 m

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

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

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.: W7 W; e* @! J# `, [, G

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:& @$ W0 @1 m- f K n) }7 G; X

?* O$ q4 a5 O. F. D1 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; c# h' n' B3 k5 }9 n5 i7 g
$ O- y6 N" s$ |# Q$ _$ h3. 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

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!
