Hatfield Toyota thinks that the 2014 Toyota Tundra is certainly a vehicle that has come to surpass even the Ford F-150, a long term staple in the pickup truck market. Pickup trucks are versatile vehicles that can serve many needs. When in the market for a new truck you must consider different options such as power, towing capability, appearance and comfort level. It is clear in comparison that the Toyota Tundra not only meets these needs but surpasses the abilities of the Ford F-150.
The Tundra is well equipped to meet those heavy duty hauling needs. This pickup is capable of towing 9,900 pounds; this is substantially more than the 9,300 pound towing capacity of the F-150. The towing capacity is power with an impressive 5.7 liter V8 engine that produces 381 hp and 401 lb-ft of torque. When compared to the F-150, the Tundra produce 21 more hp and 21 more lb-ft of torque.
Off road capabilities are always an added appeal to those in the market for a versatile pickup. This is another area where the Toyota Tundra really stands out. Toyota has designed the Tundra with off roading potential in mind, with nearly two additional inches of ground clearance than the Ford F-150 and three additional degrees steeper in approach angle ability. While these numbers may not seem to be substantial, they may prove to be the difference between successfully conquering rough terrain and becoming stuck in the conditions.
Toyota once again proves that safety is a top priority and the Tundra is no exception. They have integrated the use of Brake Assist to help in maximizing the abilities of the anti-lock braking system. When using the Tundra in hazardous conditions and while towing, this system is particularly useful. It will apply additional braking power when necessary to help stop the vehicle in the quickest and most efficient way possible. The Ford F-150 has yet to incorporate anything comparable in the F-150.
All of these considerations, combined with a plethora of interior options and cab sizes, make the 2013 Toyota Tundra the clear front runner over the Ford F-150.
