Ford F150 Vs Tundra
I did google the topic, the first shows up is a clip, a tundra pulls a F150.$ p9 ]/ ^& e5 T9 W7 h9 S

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.* n$ X0 A0 S2 @

I do believe if anyone had chance to drive a Tundra (2007-newer), will change their mind. * p; O6 C- ^, i, p6 |

* w% p$ Q) i( u% a7 c3 M" sI 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:

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; D6 X* [* C* C1 ~" }

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..2 ?7 b/ G2 ~2 U# n) N" l! u
