First person I've heard that from. It's a truck not a sports car. But I bought mine because it was too good to pass up even though I was debating on the Tundra. And, it's my third Ford truck. $27k for a fully loaded Lariat with 54 miles. Don't know about the Perelli tires but there are really good deals right now if you have the dough.

Ford F-150 vs. Toyota Tundra Review
Handling
The Ford F-150 and the Toyota Tundra have approximately similar tires. With their comparable turning circles, the Toyota Tundra and the Ford F-150 most definitely handle about the same into and out of tight spots.

Drivetrain
The Ford F-150's engine is substantially more massive than the Tundra's. Note that more sizeable engines may use more gasoline than smaller ones. Torque is the force that lets you accelerate quickly, and in this respect, the Ford F-150 is markedly more powerful than the Toyota Tundra. The Toyota Tundra could learn a lesson or two from the Ford in terms of torque.

Utility
The Ford and the Toyota Tundra can accommodate the same number of passengers. The Ford F-150 is likely a better choice than the Toyota Tundra when it comes to transporting cargo, especially if you often need to carry a lot of cargo or sizeable pets. Towing is significantly more the Ford F-150's forte than it is the Tundra's.

Convenience
You'll most definitely take the Toyota Tundra for a fill-up approximately as often as the F-150.

Comfort
While the front cabin in the F-150 offers a bit more head room than the Toyota Tundra, there really isn't much of a difference. The F-150 provides more head- and leg-room to your passengers than the Toyota Tundra does.

Dimensions
The Ford F-150 is somewhat heavier than the Toyota Tundra. The Toyota Tundra's tank is approximately the same size as the Ford's, though the F-150's is somewhat bigger. The Toyota Tundra rides lower than the Ford, which is a good thing for its center of gravity and ease of access. The Toyota Tundra and the F-150 compete for the same parking spaces. The Toyota's shorter wheelbase will give a more agile feel in daily traffic. On the flip side, the Ford is likely to have a smoother, more stable ride.

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. The Toyota Tundra is markedly cheaper to get to the dealership than the Ford F-150. The Ford F-150 doesn't pale in comparison to the Toyota Tundra with respect to fuel economy. The Ford F-150 won't save you much money at the pump compared to the Toyota Tundra. The Ford F-150 isn't much more expensive than the Toyota Tundra as far as MSRP. The F-150 is an affordable speedster.

Overview
The Toyota Tundra and the Ford F-150 have the same basic warranty.


Where did that review come from, A nascar website? The tundra is heads and shoulders above the F 150 only has 300 hp, vs 385 for the tundra. Ahead in towing, mpg, reliability, and resale.
