Drivers looking for an attractive full-size, light duty truck can find a lot of options available on the market. In this 2018 Ford F-150 vs 2018 Toyota Tundra comparison, we are going to look at our eternal Ford favorite when pitted against its Toyota rival. While the 2018 Tundra is also a truck with many good features, we like the versatile and the immediate value you get with the Ford model.

Both of these trucks are available with choices in engine and body style, yest time and again the Ford offers drivers more options. The 2018 F-150 is available in Regular Cab, SuperCab and Crew Cab body styles, while the 2018 Toyota Tundra is available only in Double Cab and CrewMax body styles. This limited body style selection also makes the 2018 Tundra more expensive right out of the gate. This truck also offers only two V-8 engines (which costs it when it comes to base fuel economy).
