Ford F150 Vs Tundra
I did google the topic, the first shows up is a clip, a tundra pulls a F150.1 i+ s, O4 l* Y( C4 A

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.( _# k- K' U) |" K6 D/ ]5 Y

But I do found a guy's comment, very similar to my experience about F150 and Tundra.2 V8 F9 F4 `- n- K7 D" e

I do believe if anyone had chance to drive a Tundra (2007-newer), will change their mind. , o A \+ V" p$ I4 b

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.) K/ w/ V7 R q( l

7 R0 E1 A# s' B8 P% mI 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:5 H' {2 O; U' Q1 q& y

& J, o/ J, O2 e+ p1 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), X) I3 M+ ?3 ?0 j7 F7 m+ \

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: AGREE2 D# B$ D8 ^1 \

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
