2020 Ford F-150 vs 2020 Toyota Tundra

2020 Ford F-150 vs 2020 Toyota Tundra near Dothan, AL

Without question, your next full-size pickup truck has to be at the top of its game. After all, you need a model that prioritizes power, comfort, and safety, so why not go with a proven piece of machinery like the 2020 Ford F-150? To demonstrate why we at Gilland Ford are such big fans of this model, we’re here to explain how it overtakes competitors like the 2020 Toyota Tundra in this comparison. 

What Is the Towing Capacity of the 2020 F-150?

It won’t take long for you to realize that the 2020 F-150 has a lot more going on under its hood than the Toyota Tundra. First, the Ford has six different engine options compared to just one standard system on all trims of its rival. As a result, finding your preferred degree of power and efficiency is much easier with the F-150. Moreover, you’ll get more out of this set of wheels, as its available 3.5L EcoBoost® V6 engine supplies a 13,200-lb. maximum towing capacity1. Meanwhile, those who end up with the Tundra will have to contend with a less impressive 10,200-lb. maximum trailering rating2. To really put the model from Ford over the edge, its optional 3.0L Power Stroke® V6 system achieves up to 21/29 MPG city/hwy3, while the Toyota operates at just 13/18 MPG city/hwy4. 

Comfort & Space

After spending a long day on the job, your vehicle should be your cozy retreat from the outside world. At least, this will be the case when you step inside the cab of the 2020 Ford F-150, thanks to this truck’s spacious and accommodating interior. In the front row, you’ll have an easy time stretching out in 43.9 inches of legroom, while your crewmates in back enjoy 43.6 inches of space for this measurement. To compare, the 2020 Toyota Tundra supplies just 42.5 and 42.3 inches for these respective areas. In addition, the F-150 proves that it’s the ultimate truck for carrying passengers, courtesy of its available 10-way power copilot chair to match the driver and available heating functions for both the first- and second-row seats. The Toyota, on the other hand, only has a 6-way power chair for the front passenger and fails to provide heated rear seats. 

Safety

Let’s wrap things up by examining what these two pickups bring to the table with respect to safety. Although you’ll find many comparable innovations on both, the Ford F-150 goes just a bit further to seal the deal in its favor. First, its standard Rear View Camera5 includes Dynamic Hitch Guidance5 to help you back up to a trailer with greater ease. While the Toyota Tundra does have a rear view camera6, it lacks these handy lines. To make matters worse, this vehicle has nothing like the F-150’s available 360-degree Camera5, so you might have a more difficult time maneuvering your vehicle in tight quarters.

2. Before towing, confirm your vehicle and trailer are compatible, hooked up and loaded properly and that you have any necessary additional equipment. Do not exceed any Weight Ratings and follow all instructions in your Owner's Manual. The maximum you can tow depends on base curb weight plus the total weight of any cargo, occupants, and added vehicle equipment. “Added vehicle equipment” includes additional standard/optional equipment and accessories added by the manufacturer, dealers, and/or vehicle owners. The only way to be certain of your vehicle's exact curb weight is to weigh your vehicle without passengers or cargo. Calculated with the new SAE J2807 method. Installation of a tow hitch receiver will disable the touchless sensor in your vehicle’s power rear-door liftgate and sensor operation setting should be turned off. See Owner’s Manual for additional limitations
