Ford F150 Vs Tundra
I did google the topic, the first shows up is a clip, a tundra pulls a F150.' ~% ]% F5 v) g# w

I am totally agree with 1-4 points, but I have no idea about gasmilage at all. # f0 g6 V# X1 `

I do believe if anyone had chance to drive a Tundra (2007-newer), will change their mind. 9 c8 y. q5 v, Q$ ~4 [

# R6 S2 n; `" X" P+ ~& G; `" O2 rI 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:

; N* N, _: O/ w6 ]5 V1 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

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..+ V \0 V8 l' }- f/ X; S: ?
