Explore What Sets the Ford F-150 Apart from its Competitors

As a local Fort Collins destination for the latest Ford models, our dealership has been able to get enough first-hand experience to notice the difference between our inventory and that of another automaker. Our staff members at Spradley Barr Ford Ft. Collins could name several reasons why our selection of Ford F-150 trucks proves to be superior in its class, but it's easier to dive in for a closer comparison between our pickup options and its competitors. Dive in and see how the Ford F-150 is able to triumph over its Toyota Tundra rival.

Ford F-150 vs Toyota Tundra

• The most important aspect of a truck is its powertrain, which explains the emphasis that the Ford F-150 places on its selection of engines. With four different choices compared to the pair of V8 engines offered by the Toyota Tundra, drivers can experience a more versatile performance that triumphs over the 381-horsepower of its strongest engine - such as a 385-horsepower V8 or the 450-horsepower output of the twin-turbocharged Raptor.


• Not only does the F-150 come with more options to customize its performance, but it also includes a smoother ride from an available 10-speed automatic transmission. The Tundra, on the other hand, can only claim a six-speed automatic transmission across its two engines.

• While the Tundra does have more V8 engines than the F-150, that doesn't result in a superior towing capacity. Instead, it's the F-150 that is able to impress with a maximum towing capacity of 12,200 pounds and a total payload of over 3,000 pounds. Those looking for a hard-working Tundra will be disappointed by its 10,500 pound towing limit and 2,080-pound payload capacity.


• The Toyota brand isn't synonymous with an user-friendly infotainment system, but Ford has the benefit of the SYNC system on its side. While the base F-150 model isn't widely equipped with technologies, loyal truck owners can take advantage of a twin-panel moonroof, push-button start, Siri Eyes Free, and smartphone integration in higher trim levels.

• Those on the hunt for a stronger display of driver and passenger safety won't want to miss out on the latest F-150 model, which was awarded with a five star rating by the NHTSA and an IIHS Top Safety Pick designation. The Tundra, however, stands a tier below the F-150 with a four star NHTSA rating and a Marginal rating in its Moderate Overlap Front crash test.
