Compare New Trucks: Ford F-150 and Toyota Tundra
You are sure to come across the new Toyota Tundra as you shop around Merced, California, for your new pickup truck. However, if you want a model that will exceed your expectations, then choose the new Ford F-150. We recommend this vehicle to our customers here at Razzari Ford because we have seen it in action and know that it has the capability drivers desire. Our comparison below exemplifies the advantages it offers over its Toyota rival.
Ford F-150 VS. Toyota Tundra
Put the Ford F-150 and the Toyota Tundra side-by-side and you will see that the model of our choice will satisfy you in more ways than one. To be specific, we have summarized our analysis in three categories. Once you get familiar with these points, you will understand why this Ford pickup truck is a best-seller at our Merced Ford dealership.
Capacity - One of the main characteristics shoppers expect out of a pickup truck is strength. That is why we stand by the new Ford F-150 which is ranked as the best in its class for both payload and towing. To demonstrate, we have compared its crew cab model to a comparably equipped new Toyota Tundra. At peak performance, the Ford can carry 2,890 pounds and tow 13,200 pounds while the Toyota can only carry 1,660 pounds and tow 10,100 pounds. These figures are vastly different and prove that our pick is mightier when put to the test. It is for this reason that Ford trucks are frequently used for heavy-duty work in military and industrial fields!
Efficiency - The demand for a more efficient pickup truck is on the rise. Fortunately, the Ford F-150 provides just that. In fact, its models are now available with five different engine options including a 2.7L ECOBOOST® V6 and a 3.5L ECOBOOST® V6. Unlike the two engines offered with the Toyota Tundra, these systems utilize direct-injection and turbochargers to boost fuel economy without compromising output delivery. Combined with Start-Stop Technology and a 10-Speed Automatic Transmission that optimizes energy use, the Ford truck can hit marks as high as 20 city and 25 highway MPG. At best, the Toyota truck offers a mere 14 city and 18 highway MPG.
Features - With the new Ford F-150, you can also look forward to advanced features that otherwise cost extra to have or are simply unavailable with the new Toyota Tundra. Take the class-exclusive Pro-Trailer Backup Assist™ which makes latching this Ford truck to a trailer as easy as turning a dial. Along with optional technologies like a 360-degree camera with split-view display, BLIS® with Cross-Traffic Alert and Trailer Coverage, and more, it can outperform its Toyota competitor without difficulty. Even the NHTSA recognizes this, giving the Ford a 5-Star Overall Safety Rating which is a step above the 4-star rating presented to its opponent.
