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

I do believe if anyone had chance to drive a Tundra (2007-newer), will change their mind. $ N, D$ m q b" ~( F5 w7 _& T

& Z% r( q6 o$ D$ F0 u+ ^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)

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- {, O( B. G- F

5. Mileage: King Ranch - 14, Tundra - 18. HRU: NO IDEA
