Ride and Handling: 2022 Ford F-150
Do a lot of driving? The F-150 can help you with that, because it’s the smoothest operator. Even when you’re traveling over broken pavement, the F-150 manages to moderate bumps. Meanwhile, the Tundra can feel jittery, even for a truck. And when you’re navigating a bumpy road, forget it, you’re going to feel every uncomfortable jut from inside the cabin.
The F-150 also provides greater steering feedback, making you feel confident about your ride. This performance feature really comes in handy when you’re making your way down a narrow lane or attempting to navigate a busy parking garage.
Comfort Features: It’s a Tie!
Each of these light-duty trucks is available as a range of trim models, giving you everything from a basic work truck to a plush, cultivated cruiser. The F-150 has an extra cabin option — regular — but both pickups are available with an extended or crew cabin.
As you move up each model’s trim levels, you’ll find greater and greater interior comfort and flashier exterior style. Upscale features include leather upholstery and heated seats. Tech upgrades — like bigger infotainment touchscreens, premium sound systems, and more safety aids — are also available.
Work-Friendly Features: 2022 Ford F-150
Always the innovator, the F-150 is available with features you won't find anywhere else. For example, the Pro Power Onboard station acts as a power generator, allowing you to charge or operate tools on the go. And the Interior Work Surface and Tailgate Work Surface provide the space you need to get the job done comfortably.
However, the Tundra and the F-150 share a few work-friendly features. For example, both offer trailer towing technology to help you guide a trailer in the desired direction. And you can add a variety of safety cameras to help you keep an eye on your surroundings, even with a huge trailer in tow.
Make Your Choice
Although the 2022 Toyota Tundra was tough to beat, the 2022 Ford F-150 definitely comes out on top. Whether you need to tow a bigger trailer or prefer a smoother performance, Ford’s best selling truck has you covered.
