Top Tundra Advantages Over F-150

Redesigned back in 2009 as a 2010 model, the Ford F-150 is the long-time top-selling full-size pickup, ahead of Chevy Silverado and Ram. The F-150 offers an expanded model-grade range in 2011, plus all F-150s are powered by a new family of engines—including a new twin- turbocharged V6.

The F-150 is certainly a popular truck, but compared with Tundra, it’s not entirely clear why. Tundra’s many advantages over the Ford make it tough to beat. This is particularly true when you consider the largest cab sizes of both trucks, like the 2012 Tundra CrewMax and 2011 F-150 SuperCrew featured in this Edge.

� All-ArOund perFOrmAnce

Tundra’s top engine, a 5.7-liter V8 with Dual VVT-i, is a real powerhouse and a proven performer. The new top engine in the F-150 XLT for 2011 is a small 3.5-liter turbocharged V6—a comparatively unproven engine choice for a full-size pickup. Far down the road, the reliability and maintenance costs of the hard-working turbo V6 are something of an unknown. Though it has good torque output, the Ford V6 trails the Tundra’s 5.7-liter V8 by 16 horsepower.

more-aggressive axle ratios

For quick acceleration and the brute force needed to pull a heavy trailer, an aggressive axle ratio (one with a higher number) provides greater torque multiplication at the drive wheels. Tundra’s more aggressive standard and available axle ratios make the most of the engine’s greater power. The F-150 here doesn’t offer an axle ratio that comes close.

Standard axle ratio 4.10:1 3.31:1

Available axle ratio 4.30:1 3.73:1

Tundra

Capable chassisTo find out how the Tundra and F-150 handle while towing, the University of Toyota hitched up a heavy trailer1 (almost 10,000 pounds) that was within Ford’s tow capacity rating for the F-150 SuperCrew and within Toyota’s J2807 rating for the Tundra CrewMax. The Tundra pulled it comfortably and was very easy to drive. But when we towed the same trailer with the Ford, the truck moved around more in the lane and took more concentration to drive. The way a truck handles with a heavy trailer can make a big difference in the driver’s feeling of control.

What helps give the Tundra the edge? The trapezoidal rear section of Tundra’s TripleTech™ frame allows the rear leaf springs to be positioned toe-out, where the front is mounted farther out than the rear. The result: superior lateral control when cornering and especially while towing heavy loads.

Another positive factor is the Tundra’s firmer springing, which is designed to balance ride comfort with load carrying capability.

“most Dependable Large pickup”

In J.D. Power and Associates 2011 long-term dependability study (the most recent available), Tundra was named “Most Dependable Large Pickup, Six Years in a Row”2. The study measures problems experienced by original owners of three-year-old (2008 model year) vehicles and includes 198 different problem symptoms across all areas of the vehicle. The Ford F-150 came in second place.

“best Overall Value of the Year”

The IntelliChoice Best Overall Value Awards help to identify best-in-class vehicles that deliver outstanding value and lower-than-expected costs over time. The 2011 Tundra (the most recent model evaluated) was named the Best Overall Value of the Year in the Full-Size Pickup (Light Duty) Class.3

Greater maneuverability

Tundra has more ground clearance and a wider track than F-150. This helps Tundra clear tough off-road obstacles and gives it a strong-looking stance. Plus, Tundra’s tighter turning circle can be a big advantage in the dirt or in crowded parking lots. F-150 is less maneuverable.

Advanced brake technologies

Tundra has racing-style four-piston front calipers—a feature F-150 doesn’t offer. The Toyota also has Brake Assist (BA)4 and Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD). BA is designed to detect sudden or “panic” braking and adds the full pressure needed to help avoid a collision. EBD distributes brake-fluid pressure to the wheels based on the driving conditions and the vehicle load. F-150 doesn’t offer either of these brake features.

1 Before towing, confirm your vehicle and trailer are compatible, hooked up and loaded properly and that you have any necessary additional equipment. Do not exceed any Weight Ratings and follow all instructions in your Owner’s Manual. The maximum you can tow depends on the total weight of any cargo, occupants and available equipment. 2 The Toyota Tundra received the lowest number of problems per 100 vehicles among large pickups in the proprietary J.D. Power and Associates 2006-2010 Vehicle Dependability StudiesSM. 2010 study based on 52,422 consumer responses measuring problems consumers experienced in the past 12 months with three-year-old vehicles (2007 model-year cars and trucks). Proprietary study results are based on experiences and perceptions of consumers surveyed October–December 2009. Your experiences may vary. Visit jdpower.com. 3 2011 IntelliChoice, www.IntelliChoice.com, Full-Size Pickup. 4 Brake Assist is designed to help the driver take full advantage of the benefits of ABS. It is not a substitute for safe driving practices. Braking effectiveness also depends on proper brake-system maintenance and tire and road conditions. 5 All the airbag (AB) systems are Supplemental Restraint Systems. All ABs (if installed) are designed to inflate only under certain conditions and in certain types of severe collisions: frontal and knee ABs typically inflate in frontal collisions; side and side curtain ABs in side collisions; Roll-Sensing Curtain ABs at a severe tilt degree, roll or lateral G-force. In all other accidents, the ABs will not inflate. To decrease the risk of injury from an inflating AB, always wear seatbelts, sit upright in the middle of the seat as far back as possible and do not lean against the door. Do not put objects in front of an AB or around the seatback. Do not use a rearward-facing child seat in any front passenger seat. The force of an inflating AB may cause serious injury or death. See your Owner’s Manual for further information/warnings.
