2016 Toyota Tundra vs 2016 Ford F-150

Power, Performance, Value and Versatility Highlight the 2016 Toyota Tundra

A real contender in the half-ton pickup truck class, the 2016 Toyota Tundra provides explosive power from a V-8 power core. The pride of the Toyota Tundra power lineup is a 381-horsepower 5.7-liter V-8 that will tow a massive 10,500 pounds and will overpower the 365-horsepower 3.5-liter EcoBoost V-6 employed by elite Ford F-150 editions. Drivers who are looking for adrenaline-fueled thrills and will only settle for the growl of a V-8 under the hood will love what the Toyota Tundra has to offer.

Another asset of the Toyota half-ton in our 2016 Toyota Tundra vs 2016 Ford F-150 comparison is value. Available in six well-equipped trim levels, the Toyota Tundra can be tailor-made to fit your needs and lifestyle. A standard Toyota Entune interface will provide you with a 6.1-inch touchscreen, integrated backup camera, Bluetooth hands-free capabilities and Siri Eyes Free technology. While the Ford F-150 provides similar trim levels, the list of standard features falls short of that found in the Toyota Tundra. When you take a closer look at price, you will find that the elite Toyota Tundra Platinum trim priced at $46,530 is a better value than the similarly-equipped Ford F-150 Limited priced at $58,770.

Work hard, play harder -- is a mantra for many Toyota Tundra owners to live by and is illustrated by the explosive Toyota Tundra TRD Pro trim. Built to dominate the trail, the Tundra TRD Pro will outlast the competition with an arsenal of high-performance improvements that include Bilstein high-performance shocks, a refined off-road suspension system as well as TRD wheels and tires. Models like the Ford F-150 FX4 while capable on the trail, lack the necessary off-road DNA to handle extreme terrain.
