Ford F150 Vs Tundra
I did google the topic, the first shows up is a clip, a tundra pulls a F150.! ]: y& {1 \2 @. f3 l# ^' }

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.& L9 H3 W) x# p: B; y9 z

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:- R' f1 }# `* }$ h+ A

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)

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# }, B7 `% w. v+ U: r6 O

3. The Ford rides pretty well. I'd give the two a tie for interstate cruising. HRU: AGREE EVEN IN CITY, FORD HANDLES NICE ALSO6 a* D; J9 a0 f2 G7 B k8 D

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) F, w" `; J$ E" o3 a* ]6 L) c$ k

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!

HRU: I also like Kingranch two tone seats and the farm smell of it! It is really a nice taste of color, but not the radio, center console cluster, green light of tach and speedo etc.." n0 f+ \8 d7 ~' c8 R
