In this showdown, our Friendly Ford Las Vegas takes a closer look at two of the more modernly designed, well-built, and capable pickups out on the market: the 2021 Ford F-150 vs. Toyota Tundra.
By giving you a closer look at the Ford F-150 vs. Toyota Tundra below, you can see which of these two trucks has the strength, features, and overall design you are looking to get with your new truck as you drive around the Las Vegas area.
Performance Specs of the F-150 vs. Tundra
Let's first get down to what many drivers shopping for a truck want to know: how much can these pickups tow? With the Tundra, pull along up to 10,200 pounds when properly equipped. While that is certainly a lot of weight, you can tow a larger range of equipment with the Ford F-150 since its towing capacity reaches a best-in-class 14,000 pounds when properly equipped.
As far as loading up the bed, fit bigger items with the F-150 since its payload capacity reaches a best-in-class maximum of 3,325 pounds when properly equipped. At most, the Toyota Tundra offers a payload capacity of 1,730 pounds when properly equipped.
You can even opt for an available full-hybrid engine with the Ford F-150, which can tow over 12,000 pounds and provide an EPA-estimated 25 city/26 highway MPG. The 2021 Tundra only gets up to an EPA-estimated 12 city/18 highway MPG without a hybrid engine option.
More Help While Towing
Both trucks offer many systems that can help you safely tow and navigate your pickup for more confident driving. They each come standard with a rear-view camera with the F-150 having a Dynamic Hitch Assist feature to make it even easier to line up your trailer to your truck.
Only the 2021 Ford F-150 offers a backup assistant when reversing with your trailer. With the available Pro Trailer Backup Assist™, just turn the knob the direction you want your trailer to go, and this smart system will take care of the rest.
