2018 Toyota Tundra vs. 2018 Ford F-150

To keep cabin occupants safer, the front and rear shoulder belts of the Toyota Tundra are designed to adjust, accommodating passengers of differing heights. Only the Ford’s front safety belts are height adjustable, meaning they may not offer adequate protection to rear passengers in the event of a collision.

The Tundra offers better control as well with a powerful standard braking system that brought the big truck to a full stop from 70 mph in just 189 feet in Car and Driver testing. The Ford’s weaker braking system required as much as 206 feet to perform the same task.

Reliability

Toyota trucks are designed to last, and to make sure they do, the automaker provides complimentary basic maintenance for the first two years or 25,000 miles. Ford doesn’t pay for maintenance on the F-150.

Features

The Toyota Tundra is loaded with appealing standard features like:

• One-touch power driver’s window
• Power remote exterior mirrors with heat
• Bluetooth wireless connectivity for easy hands-free calling

The Ford F-150 can be equipped with the convenience of one-touch windows, heated exterior power mirrors, and Bluetooth connectivity, but drivers will have to pay extra to get them.

The Toyota also offers optional rearview mirrors that automatically adjust to make backing easier. The F-150 cannot be equipped with automatic rearview mirrors.
