When it comes to full-size pickup trucks, the Ford F-150 has long been the top choice for many buyers in the Oshkosh and Clintonville areas of Wisconsin. However, the newly redesigned Toyota Tundra is aiming to challenge the long-standing reign of the legendary F-150 with its impressive capabilities and features. At our Klein Automotive Ford spot in Winneconne, WI, and at our other locations in Clintonville, we have a great selection of new trucks from Ford and other brands to consider. Here's a look at how the F-150 and Tundra stack up against each other.
Trim Levels and Configurations
The latest new Ford F-150 is available in eight different trim levels, offering something for every type of truck buyer in Oshkosh. From the base XL work truck to the off-road ready Raptor, there's an F-150 to fit your needs and budget. The F-150 also comes in multiple cab and bed configurations to accommodate various passenger and cargo requirements.
Toyota has expanded its Tundra lineup to better compete with rivals like the F-150. Appleton and Shawano truck enthusiasts will appreciate the range of trims, from the entry-level SR to the luxurious Capstone and the adventure-focused TRD Pro. The Tundra is available in extended and crew cab body styles, paired with multiple bed lengths for added versatility.
Power and Performance
As you'd expect from any of the new Ford trucks for sale here in Clintonville offers several engine options for the F-150, including a base V-6, turbocharged EcoBoost V-6 setups, a V-8, and a PowerBoost hybrid. Horsepower ranges from 290 up to 450 across the different powertrains. Many Appleton and New London drivers prefer the strong yet efficient 2.7-liter and 3.5-liter EcoBoost engines. The F-150 delivers smooth performance, with most engines paired to a 10-speed automatic transmission.
Meanwhile, the redesigned Tundra now features more modern and powerful engine choices, but still not as many as the Ford brand's flagship pickup. While some engine levels are more impressive in the Tundra, there are fewer options, so you'll do best with the new Ford F-150 for sale here in Winneconne.
Towing and Hauling
When properly equipped, the Ford F-150 boasts a maximum towing capacity of 14,000 pounds, making it a popular choice for New London contractors and weekend warriors alike. That far outpaces the max 12,000 pounds that the Tundra can tow. In the right setup, the Ford F-150 also bests the Tundra in payload ratings.
Technology and Safety
In any cab setup you choose near Appleton or Oshkosh, the F-150 offers a user-friendly infotainment system with a large touchscreen display, wireless smartphone integration, and voice-activated controls. Higher trims add premium amenities like a 12-inch digital gauge cluster, an 18-speaker premium sound system, and upgraded materials. Every F-150 comes standard with intelligent driver assists for added peace of mind on Clintonville roads.
While the Tundra full-sized truck's redesign brings major tech upgrades over previous versions, it still can't stack up to the Ford flagship pickup. While Toyota promises many of the same features and amenities, we hear from drivers all the time that they prefer the Ford brand's technology over the other brands found at our Clintonville locations and in our extensive pre-owned truck lineup shared by all three of our stores in this region of Wisconsin.
