Ford F150 Vs Tundra
I did google the topic, the first shows up is a clip, a tundra pulls a F150.. t( [( O) T+ m

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.: t3 s' y/ d; o ^4 l

But I do found a guy's comment, very similar to my experience about F150 and Tundra.. j V& ?4 M3 F; |/ }

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.

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: l) K- U% Y1 R$ W2 N+ I

9 v' F) E2 C! r1 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 j/ x* n1 B3 E+ f3 y, c* J: t

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& Q0 @; t7 R9 R9 D- |" j

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

Quality - the front plastic fascia on the Ford has already come loose.( HRU: AGREE )
