Ford F150 Vs Tundra
I did google the topic, the first shows up is a clip, a tundra pulls a F150.1 o+ J& X% U( K+ y, y

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.

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 @0 [- b0 B% ^: f4 s7 ^4 W3 u

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:% l& Z5 }$ Q: Y- I" X6 t% x

8 b4 q* \$ N( R0 u2 G, a1 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)- H/ w: F: l m
. `. r a! G% d t3 H; b2. 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: AGREE5 S) a8 @* E+ p3 y4 M
