2021 Ford F-150 vs 2021 Toyota Tundra

2021 Ford F-150 vs 2021 Toyota Tundra near Dothan, AL

Although the world of full-size pickup trucks is full of capable vehicles, we at Gilland Ford are confident you’ll agree that the 2021 Ford F-150 tops them all. However, instead of expecting you to take our word at face value, we’re ready to go the extra mile by demonstrating how this model compares to a competitor like the 2021 Toyota Tundra. If you like what you hear, stop by the showroom at 3118 South US Highway 231 in Ozark, AL!

Cabin Accommodations

As soon as you step inside the 2021 F-150, you’ll have a number of amenities to appreciate. One of the more convenient optional features that you won’t find anywhere on the Toyota Tundra is the handy work surface area. After folding down the shift lever and adjusting the center console compartment, you’ll have a spacious place to make notes or use your laptop. In addition, you’ll be able to treat your whole crew to an indulgent traveling experience by springing for the heated rear seats, which is yet another accommodation that’s missing in the Toyota. And, although the Tundra does have an optional 6-way power seat for the front passenger, the Ford ups the ante with its available 10-way power copilot chair. 

Safety & Technology

The 2021 Ford F-150 still has a lot more in store for you, especially in the way of safety and technology. While the 2021 Toyota Tundra does have a wide array of driver-assist advancements, it fails to include a 360-Degree Camera¹ like its competitor, which is quite useful when you’re trying to maneuver in a parking garage or with other vehicles in close proximity to you. Meanwhile, the Ford continues to impress with tech upgrades like the large 12-inch touchscreen and 18-speaker premium audio system. To compare, the truck from Toyota doesn’t come close to the F-150, as it only has an 8-inch media display and a maximum of 12 speakers. As a result, you’ll likely have an easier time staying engaged during long commutes on Route 84 if you’re at the helm of the Ford. 

Powerful Performance

The only aspect left to examine is performance, and the Ford F-150 really shines in this regard. First, whereas the Toyota Tundra has just one standard powertrain across the board, its rival lets you choose from one of five different engines for exceptional variety. The strongest of these is the available 3.5L EcoBoost® V6 system that produces a sensational 400-hp and 500 lb.-ft. of torque without much effort. Meanwhile, you’ll only have 381-hp and 401 lb.-ft. of torque under your authority with the Tundra’s 5.7L V8 engine, which might leave a bit to be desired. Not to mention, the truck from Toyota tops out at a 10,200-lb. maximum towing capacity2. Those driving the 2021 F-150, on the other hand, can enjoy a 14,000-lb. maximum towing capacity3.
