To start, it’s clear both of these trucks shine for similar reasons. Whether you plan to go off-road, travel with the family, or tow large equipment, they have similar capabilities and versatility. That’s not all to consider when choosing your new truck though.
Safety is a key factor in which vehicle you should drive. Both of these trucks earn high praise for their safety too. The IIHS awarded the F-150 a TOP SAFETY PICK. The Toyota Tundra earned an even higher designation as an IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK+. Within the testing both trucks went through, the Tundra earned the highest rating of Good for the moderate overlap front test while the F-150 was rated poor in the same test.
When you step inside these trucks, you’ll be welcomed by a spacious and modernly designed interior. They have a lot of space for passengers, feature premium options like leather seating, and enhance comfort even with available options like ventilated, heated, and massaging seats.
They even offer simple connectivity to your phone so you can access your favorite apps and contacts. The Ford F-150 offers a view of it all too on its 12-inch display. Inside the Toyota Tundra, you can get an even larger display with its available 14-inch touchscreen.
Each of these trucks offer various options when it comes to your source of power. We wanted to take a look though at what comes standard under the hood. For the F-150, that would be the 2.7L V6 engine. This produces 325 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque. That output too helps it achieve a towing capacity of more than 8,000 pounds.
The standard engine in the Tundra, the i-Force 3.4L Twin-Turbo V6 engine, is able to generate 358 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque. That extra bit of power can be a huge help driving uphill or along more rugged terrain. It too gives the Toyota Tundra the ability to tow more than 8,000 pounds.
