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

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.% d# ?8 n3 d# x5 S0 [

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:% Y$ |: p9 b- x* q: |) ~: J

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)1 M* D. ]5 e1 K0 t$ S6 d- r" P! `

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

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! $ s, x g. W$ s9 |; L1 c5 V* e

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..
