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

7 ^: `1 p5 S7 G9 Z% yBecuase it is made by a toyota dealership, so, I doubt the credibility: no engine or model shown at all, so, it is not fair.

But I do found a guy's comment, very similar to my experience about F150 and Tundra.4 T; Q& o+ e9 ?+ j

I am totally agree with 1-4 points, but I have no idea about gasmilage at all. * u; Q# U3 N7 s. k! a, K

I do believe if anyone had chance to drive a Tundra (2007-newer), will change their mind.

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.5 G, N% f- a' m

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:! U4 m) h" V# A3 Q* q

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)

2. 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

: I1 F% Z$ X3 U8 t% sThe 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!

$ a: c7 n+ c9 m7 o0 Y" d9 t+ rHRU: 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..
