For enhanced safety, the front and rear seat shoulder belts of the Toyota Tundra are height-adjustable to accommodate a wide variety of driver and passenger heights. A better fit can prevent injuries and the increased comfort also encourages passengers to buckle up. The Ford F-150 has only front height-adjustable seat belts.

The Tundra’s driver alert monitor detects an inattentive driver then sounds a warning and suggests a break. According to the NHTSA, drivers who fall asleep cause about 100,000 crashes and 1500 deaths a year. The F-150 doesn’t offer a driver alert monitor.

Both the Tundra and the F-150 have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, front side-impact airbags, side-impact head airbags, front seatbelt pretensioners, height adjustable front shoulder belts, plastic fuel tanks, four-wheel antilock brakes, traction control, electronic stability systems to prevent skidding, crash mitigating brakes, daytime running lights, rearview cameras, available four-wheel drive, blind spot warning systems, rear parking sensors and rear cross-path warning.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration does side impact tests on new vehicles. In this test, which crashes the vehicle into a flat barrier at 38.5 MPH and into a post at 20 MPH, results indicate that the Toyota Tundra is safer than the Ford F-150:

	Tundra	F-150
	Front Seat
STARS	5 Stars	5 Stars
HIC	15	22
Chest Movement	.6 inches	.8 inches
Hip Force	120 lbs.	174 lbs.
	Rear Seat
STARS	5 Stars
	Into Pole
STARS	5 Stars	5 Stars
HIC	396	414
Spine Acceleration	34 G’s	42 G’s

New test not comparable to pre-2011 test results. More stars = Better. Lower test results = Better.

WARRANTY

Toyota pays for scheduled maintenance on the Tundra for 2 years and 25000 miles. Toyota will pay for oil changes, lubrication and any other required maintenance. Ford doesn’t pay scheduled maintenance for the F-150.

RELIABILITY

A reliable vehicle saves its owner time, money and trouble. Nobody wants to be stranded or have to be without a vehicle while it’s being repaired. Consumer Reports rates the Tundra’s reliability 32 points higher than the F-150.

J.D. Power and Associates’ 2019 survey of the owners of three-year-old vehicles provides the long-term dependability statistics that show that Toyota vehicles are more reliable than Ford vehicles. J.D. Power ranks Toyota second in reliability, above the industry average. With 38 more problems per 100 vehicles, Ford is ranked 16th.

From surveys of all its subscribers, Consumer Reports’ December 2018 Auto Issue reports that Toyota vehicles are more reliable than Ford vehicles. Consumer Reports ranks Toyota second in reliability. Ford is ranked 18th.

ENGINE

The Tundra’s 5.7 DOHC V8 produces 91 more horsepower (381 vs. 290) and 136 lbs.-ft. more torque (401 vs. 265) than the F-150’s standard 3.3 DOHC V6. The Tundra’s 5.7 DOHC V8 produces 56 more horsepower (381 vs. 325) and 1 lbs.-ft. more torque (401 vs. 400) than the F-150’s optional 2.7 turbo V6. The Tundra’s 5.7 DOHC V8 produces 6 more horsepower (381 vs. 375) than the F-150’s optional 3.5 turbo V6.

As tested in Motor Trend the Toyota Tundra is faster than the Ford F-150:

	Tundra	F-150 V6	F-150 2.7 turbo V6
Zero to 30 MPH	2 sec	2.8 sec	2.5 sec
Zero to 60 MPH	6 sec	7.9 sec	7 sec
Zero to 80 MPH	10.5 sec	13.5 sec	12.2 sec
Quarter Mile	14.6 sec	16.1 sec	15.5 sec
Speed in 1/4 Mile	93.6 MPH	86.7 MPH	89.5 MPH

FUEL ECONOMY AND RANGE

To lower fuel costs and make buying fuel easier, the Toyota Tundra uses regular unleaded gasoline. The F-150 with the 3.5 turbo V6 engine requires premium for maximum efficiency, which can cost 20 to 55 cents more per gallon.

The Tundra’s standard fuel tank has 3.4 gallons more fuel capacity than the F-150’s standard fuel tank (26.4 vs. 23 gallons), for longer range between fill-ups. The Tundra’s optional fuel tank has 2 gallons more fuel capacity than the F-150’s optional fuel tank (38 vs. 36 gallons).

BRAKES AND STOPPING

The Tundra stops much shorter than the F-150:

	Tundra	F-150
70 to 0 MPH	189 feet	206 feet	Car and Driver
60 to 0 MPH	130 feet	140 feet	Motor Trend

TIRES AND WHEELS

For better traction, the Tundra has larger standard tires than the F-150 (255/70R18 vs. 245/70R17).

For better ride, handling and brake cooling the Tundra has standard 18-inch wheels. Smaller 17-inch wheels are standard on the F-150.

SUSPENSION AND HANDLING

The Tundra TRD Sport has front and rear stabilizer bars, which help keep the Tundra TRD Sport flat and controlled during cornering. The F-150’s suspension doesn’t offer a rear stabilizer bar.

For a smoother ride and more stable handling, the Tundra’s wheelbase is longer than on the F-150:

	Tundra	F-150
Extended Cab Standard Bed	145.7 inches	145 inches
Extended Cab Long Bed	164.6 inches	163.7 inches
Crew Cab Short Bed	145.7 inches	145 inches

The Tundra Short Bed Platinum CrewMax 4x4 handles at .71 G’s, while the F-150 Raptor SuperCab pulls only .68 G’s of cornering force in a Car and Driver skidpad test.

The Tundra Standard Bed Limited Double Cab 4x4 executes Motor Trend’s “Figure Eight” maneuver quicker than the F-150 Raptor SuperCab (28.7 seconds @ .57 average G’s vs. 29.2 seconds @ .59 average G’s).

For better maneuverability, the Tundra’s turning circle is tighter than the F-150’s:

	Tundra	F-150
Extended Cab Standard Bed	44 feet	47.1 feet
Extended Cab Long Bed	49 feet	53 feet
Crew Cab Short Bed	44 feet	47.8 feet
Extended Cab Standard Bed 4x4	44 feet	47.1 feet
Extended Cab Long Bed 4x4	49 feet	53 feet
Crew Cab Short Bed 4x4	44 feet	47.8 feet

For greater off-road capability the Tundra Short Bed CrewMax has a 1.1 inches greater minimum ground clearance than the F-150 6.5 ft. bed SuperCrew (10.4 vs. 9.3 inches), allowing the Tundra to travel over rougher terrain without being stopped or damaged.

CHASSIS

The Tundra is shorter than the F-150, making the Tundra easier to handle, maneuver and park in tight spaces:

	Tundra	F-150
Extended Cab Standard Bed	228.9 inches	231.9 inches
Crew Cab Short Bed	228.9 inches	231.9 inches

As tested by Car and Driver, the interior of the Tundra Short Bed Platinum CrewMax 4x4 is quieter than the F-150 Raptor SuperCab:

	Tundra	F-150
Full-Throttle	74 dB	86 dB
70 MPH Cruising	67 dB	68 dB

PASSENGER SPACE

The Tundra Double Cab has .1 inches more front hip room and 1.2 inches more rear legroom than the F-150 SuperCab.

For enhanced passenger comfort on long trips the Tundra CrewMax’s rear seats recline. The F-150’s optional rear seats don’t recline.

CARGO CAPACITY

The Tundra Double Cab Standard Bed has a much larger cargo box than the F-150 SuperCab Standard Bed (66.3 vs. 62.3 cubic feet). The Tundra Double Cab Long Bed has a much larger cargo box than the F-150 SuperCab Long Bed (82.5 vs. 77.4 cubic feet).

The Tundra CrewMax has a much larger cargo box than the F-150 SuperCrew Short Bed (56.1 vs. 52.8 cubic feet).

The Toyota Tundra has a standard Easy Lower and Lift Tailgate, which prevents the heavy tailgate from falling with a crash and causing injury. It allows adults and children to easily open and close the tailgate with one hand to better facilitate loading and unloading. Tailgate assist costs extra on the Ford F-150.

PAYLOAD AND TOWING

The Tundra’s minimum standard towing capacity is much higher than the F-150’s (9800 vs. 5000 pounds).

The Tundra has a much higher standard payload capacity than the F-150:

	Tundra	F-150
Crew Cab	1660 lbs.	1200 lbs.
Crew Cab 4x4	1560 lbs.	1200 lbs.

ERGONOMICS

The Tundra’s standard power windows allow the driver or passenger to lower and raise the windows without leaning over or being distracted. Power windows cost extra on the F-150.

The Tundra’s standard driver’s power window lowers with one touch of the window control, making it more convenient at drive-up windows and toll booths. The F-150’s basic optional power windows’ switch has to be held the entire time to open it fully.

The Tundra’s standard power locks allow the driver or passenger to lock or unlock all the doors at a touch without leaning over. Power locks cost extra on the F-150.

The Tundra has standard power remote mirrors. The F-150 only comes with remote mirrors at extra cost. Without them the driver will have to roll down the windows and reach across the car to adjust the mirrors.

The Tundra’s standard outside mirrors include heating elements to clear off the mirrors for better visibility. Ford charges extra for heated mirrors on the F-150.

When the Tundra Platinum/1794 is put in reverse, both rearview mirrors tilt from their original position. This gives the driver a better view of the curb during parallel parking maneuvers. Shifting out of reverse puts the mirrors into their original positions. The F-150’s mirrors don’t automatically adjust for backing.

Bluetooth wireless connectivity is standard on the Tundra, connecting the driver and passenger’s cell phones to the vehicle systems. This allows them to use the vehicle’s stereo and hand controls to place calls safely and easily. Bluetooth costs extra on the F-150.

ECONOMIC ADVANTAGES

According to The Car Book by Jack Gillis, the Tundra is less expensive to operate than the F-150 because typical repairs cost much less on the Tundra than the F-150, including $96 less for a water pump, $206 less for fuel injection and $199 less for a power steering pump.
