Ford F150 Vs Tundra
I did google the topic, the first shows up is a clip, a tundra pulls a F150./ J# _3 l/ H& z+ X7 x% C6 H

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.( c* l. i% A' B3 _& L

But I do found a guy's comment, very similar to my experience about F150 and Tundra.8 {0 q. y, `" \6 S- J

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. 7 x* u0 k: A* S/ s7 G

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.

1 ]' e, |1 T- Y8 x# V. uI 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)/ O) d/ o0 R z4 e
4 m! O& P- T. E v2. 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) Y* N, Q1 n& @0 i6 _. [" \

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# `3 b, k- Q# E y7 [, H

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

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! $ x) E# ], P T6 R

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..
