Ford F150 Vs Tundra
I did google the topic, the first shows up is a clip, a tundra pulls a F150." C) H! U6 J5 |2 c# s t

But I do found a guy's comment, very similar to my experience about F150 and Tundra.

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 q: M( `( k2 r( g8 x- f9 L" B3 Q4 ]5 X$ E
0 [( p3 z; I1 B8 l1 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), P2 Q F$ i/ P$ f8 `6 O1 Q2 `. \
+ w% ]/ r8 P! r6 _( X3 f# I( g2. 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
' @) ?1 m, O @( p! k% x8 [0 t: }3 [
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 k8 W! g- u& u o; Q4 S% p

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!
