Tundra or Another F-150

[Dave N]

They wouldn’t be able to charge exorbitant prices without all the stupid crap they add to these builds. I’d gladly get rid of all the bells and whistles to knock $15K off a new truck price.

It actually costs extra to get rid of the start/stop feature on the new Fords.

Hands down Tundra, pre 2019 get the factory trans cooler. Tundras are the most American made truck.... F150"s are Mexican trucks. A Tundra with 200,000 miles is still younger than a F150 at 75,000 miles. No comparison in reliability and longevity.

Tundra might or might not be the better truck depending if it has a v8 or not. However …

Ford F-150 trucks are assembled at two main U.S. plants: the Dearborn Truck Plant in Dearborn, Michigan (part of the historic Rouge Complex, which also handles the electric F-150 Lightning), and the Kansas City Assembly Plant in Claycomo, Missouri (near Kansas City). These facilities produce various trims, including gasoline, hybrid, and electric models, using advanced manufacturing for high-volume output—like over 1,000 trucks daily at the Missouri plant. While some components come from suppliers in North America (including Canada and Mexico), final assembly happens only at these U.S. sites. You can check a specific truck’s origin via its VIN (11th digit indicates the plant).

You can push a button?

You can push a button?

Yes, when you first start it up. But to not have it to start with from the factory there is a charge to delete it.

I have been enjoying my F150. Aluminum helps with the corrosion concerns.

Also I like the features of the f150 better. Fuel tank size, differential choices, etc

My F-150 get 24 mpg on the freeway. My issue is that with my Yamaha 450 in the bed and a 18’ trailer im over the max cargo weight. My max weight is 8300. How much is a Tundra 4x4

The Toyota Tundra has a maximum towing capacity of up to 12,000 pounds and a maximum payload capacity of up to 1,940 pounds, with the exact figures depending on the specific trim and configuration. For example, the SR5 trim with the i-FORCE engine has a max towing capacity of 12,000 pounds, while the SR trim can have a maximum payload of up to 1,940 pounds.

I am also test driving a Nissan Titan 4WD. The Tundra and Titan both seem to have better towing capacity than the Ford F150 and the F150 comes with a bigger price tag too so I am leaning towards the Titan then the Tundra. My wife has health issues so riding comfort is important. Gonna take her on a few test drives then decide which ones to buy. Both vehicles I am looking at have bucket seats that adjust up and down and back and forth plus leaning back. Perfect for long trips.

So the 1940 lbs would be the Total weight of passengers fluids tongue weight when towing and any cargo in the truck bed. Towing weight would just be the max weight of trailer
