Ford F150 Vs Tundra
I did google the topic, the first shows up is a clip, a tundra pulls a F150.9 I# S4 C$ j5 z& m
! |- ~) h' L! ]- j) TBecuase 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.

I do believe if anyone had chance to drive a Tundra (2007-newer), will change their mind. , z) i/ D9 i0 S/ q- A6 k

; |/ I$ e4 F& j& T& K; I9 ?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:

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)3 E- x( q, T' z
; k! p& P& s* r7 \1 F2. 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
