Default Re: Tundra vs. F-150 Test

I watched all the demonstrations in the link to the ford site Katana 08 tundra put up. The competition looks foolish. The river bed simulation video has been around for a while. Several of us have speculated on simple dynamic response differences causing resonance in all the trucks but the Ford. The same logic can be used to speculate about loading the trailer improperly but in an exact way to highlight Ford's new anti sway gizmo or the height and exact weight of the wire spool's relation to each truck's handling dynamics.

Trading from a 99 F150 to a 08 Tundra, I felt very uncomfortable with the body roll but the TRD anti sway bar solved that problem.

These types of comparisons have been considered cheap shots in the past but internet has had a liberating effect and times are tough and companies are desperate. It would be nice to see some well documented responses out of Toyota though.
