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

But I do found a guy's comment, very similar to my experience about F150 and Tundra.) G- s2 ?4 B: ^& w# G& c, ?

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 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: H( O8 u8 { u& T4 W' z

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 B( ^- b* k! Q/ M8 j

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