The 2017 Ford F-150 takes on the 2017 Toyota Tundra in this comparison of two perennial full-size truck favorites. While some might think that the Ford F-150’s engine offerings are less impressive than the Tundra’s, the F-150 engines can deliver more overall power than the Tundra engines.
Ford offers a 3.5-litre V6 engine on its base model, allowing customers to upgrade to a twin-turbo EcoBoost 2.7-litre V6, twin-turbo EcoBoost 3.5-litre, a 5.0-litre V8, or a high-output twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6 found in the F-150 Raptor. A six-speed automatic transmission comes standard. All other F-150 models feature the available new 10-speed automatic transmission. Toyota offers two V8 engine choices in the Tundra: a 4.6-litre V8 and a 5.7-litre V8.

The 2017 Ford F-150 has six main trim levels: XL, XLT, Lariat, King Ranch, Platinum, and Limited. Standard features include things like trailer sway control, and Bluetooth connectivity. As you climb higher up the trim lineup, you’ll find heated and ventilated seats, surround view camera, leather seating, wood interior trim accents and a lot more!
With a host of EcoBoost engine offerings, the 2017 Ford F-150 provides better fuel economy options than the Toyota Tundra, which lags sorely behind most full-size truck competition. If you read driver reviews of the F-150 and the Tundra, you’ll find that that F-150 is known for its smooth ride and drivability. The ride in the Tundra is stiffer and less enjoyable than the F-150. But the only way to really compare the F-150 and the Tundra is to take a test drive at Sherwood Ford!
