Drivers near Cincinnati, Newport, and Covington can find out the key differences between these capable trucks with our F-150 vs. Tundra comparison!
Performance
| Â F-150 | Â Tundra |
| Â 13,200 lbs Towing Capcity | Â 10,500 lbs Towing Capacity |
| Â 3,270 lbs Payload Capacity | Â 2,080 lbs Payload Capacity |
Both the F-150 and the Tundra come with a range of engine options to suit your needs. The options begin with a comparable V6 engine being offered in both the Ford and the Toyota. From there, you can choose from V6 or V8 engines in both vehicles, but the F-150 also offers an EcoBoost® twin-turbo 3.5L V6 engine for the Raptor that pumps out 450 horsepower. Unfortunately, a comparable engine isn't available in the Tundra.
When it comes to towing, nothing beats the F-150. When equipped with the 3.5L EcoBoost® V6 engine, the F-150 boasts a maximum towing capacity of 13,200 pounds, dramatically outperforming the rest of its class; this includes the Tundra and its 10,500-pound towing capacity. The payload capacity is higher too, at 3,270 pounds for the F-150 and just 2,080 pounds for the Tundra.
Tundra vs F-150: Interior Space and Comfort
The 2019 Ford F-150 and Toyota Tundra share a few interior attributes, one being supportive, comfortable seats with available heating and ventilation. The F-150 offers more options, however, with cloth, vinyl, and leather upholstery, as well as massaging front seats for a touch of luxury.
Passengers in both trucks enjoy plenty of headroom and legroom. Additionally, both trucks offer several bed options. A 5-foot, 5-inch bed and 6-foot, 5-inch bed are offered by the Ford F-150 and Toyota Tundra, with an 8-foot bed for the F-150 and an 8-foot, 1-inch bed for the Tundra.
Where the difference lies, however, is in that the F-150 can be outfitted with an integrated tailgate step, LED lighting, stowable loading ramps, and the BoxLink™ cargo management system, which has innovative features for cargo storage and security. The F-150 also has a floor that opens up in the cabin for additional storage. None of these cargo options are available for the Tundra.
F-150 vs Tundra: Technology
At the base level, these two trucks share some desirable features, but they differ quickly as you move through the trim levels. Along with the models configured for work, luxury, comfort, muscle, or off-road performance, the F-150 also offers the SYNC® 3 infotainment system with an 8-inch touchscreen. Not only is this one of the most intuitive and user-friendly systems on the market-it also includes Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™ compatibility, a built-in Wi-Fi hotspot, and an array of other features to enhance your on-the-road entertainment and information.
Both trucks offer plenty of safety features as well, including blind spot monitors (Blind Spot Information System® in the Ford F-150), Lane Keep Assist, and Rear Cross Traffic Alert. The F-150 has a few additional features designed for towing safety and convenience, however, such as Pro Trailer Backup Assist™ and a trailer brake controller.
