Hello everyone. I am looking to purchase a truck within the next month or 2. I have narrowed it down to between an F150 fully loaded Lariat, either 6.2 or 5.0, and the Tundra Limited fully loaded. I am currently doing my research on both vehicles and am posting on here and on a tundra forum to see what you guys think. Why is the F150 better? What do you like about them? Or are they just that close that whoever has the better deal iss the one I should buy? Thank you all for all your input in advance.
Tundra
----------
5.7 is very powerful
with the RW package and 4.30 rear its sick quick
Got stuck all the time in snow, ice, and mud
Elec LS Rear is garbage!
Interior is plastic garbage
No issues
12 City / 16 HWY with a tail wind
2000 lbs in bed and she felt VERY unstable!
F150
-----------
EcoBoost has as much TQ but feels different
Not quite as quick off the line, but is quicker at higher speeds
Lariat is MUCH nicer and more comfortable!!!
I have max tow and with 2500-3000 in bed - no sweat!
16 CITY / 21-27 Hwy depends on conditions/driving habits
More comforts
NEVER gets me stuck. Will do in 2WD what the Tundra required 4WD
The F150 feels more like a real truck but drives like a Caddy...
More than ample power wth Economy!
Like my F150 MUCH better and so does my family.
Put 45K on Tundra
have 37K on F150

I wish when they actually do these things they test the truck until it blows up (obviously they never won't but you can only wish), 100k isn't much for a truck.

Yea my old Silverado brakes were still great at 80,000 miles. But 90+% was hwy driving.. Not much braking going on.
