If you’ve settled on either the 2025 Ford F-150 or 2025 Toyota Tundra, congratulations — you’ve narrowed it down to two of the best trucks available! But which should you choose? Our comparison guide helps Florida drivers select the model that has everything they want in a full-size, light-duty pickup.
Key Takeaways
- Compared to the 2025 Tundra (from $40,090*), the 2025 F-150 (from $38,810*) saves you the most on a brand new truck!
- Both trucks deliver incredible interior space and plenty of luxury upgrades.
- The F-150 offers a host of tech features you can’t get from the Tundra, including an onboard power generator.
- Maximize power, speed, or workhorse performance in the best-in-class Ford F-150!
Best Price: 2025 Ford F-150
Although these trucks are competitively priced, the 2025 Ford F-150, starting at $38,810*, can save you a decent amount of money. The 2025 Toyota Tundra, which goes from $40,090*, may not have much of an effect on your monthly payment. But it’s a little disappointing that the truck that costs more doesn’t come standard with the biggest infotainment touchscreen or a digital instrument panel — unlike the F-150, which does!

Everyday Comfort: It’s a Tie!
When it comes to comfort, it’s hard to choose one of these trucks over the other! With their roomy cabins and surprisingly smooth performance, the Ford F-150 and Toyota Tundra are excellent weekend warriors.
Better still, both models are available with all the luxury features you can handle, from premium leather seating to ambient interior lighting. For Florida drivers, we highly recommend these trucks’ dual-zone automatic climate control and front-seat ventilation systems. Even after hours in the hot sun, these comfort upgrades do an excellent job of cooling the cabin!
Hardworking Technology: 2025 Ford F-150
No other light-duty truck is as tech-savvy as the F-150! Ford’s full-size truck offers features that can help you perform better at work, including the Pro Power Onboard generator (to charge your power tools on the go) and Onboard Scales & Smart Hitch (to transport heavy loads without overtaxing your truck). We’re also fans of the F-150’s standard infotainment system, with its fast-acting 12-inch touchscreen and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. These trucks even come standard with a digital gauge display!
Although the Tundra can’t compete with the F-150’s more innovative, work-friendly technology, it does come standard with some of the same features. For instance, every trim model keeps you connected with Toyota’s infotainment system, including an 8-inch touchscreen and wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto. And just like the F-150, the Tundra’s standard driving aids — including lane-keeping assistance and forward collision mitigation — help you avoid trouble.
Pure Power: 2025 Ford F-150
Although the Tundra delivers plenty of power, it’s the F-150 that caters to a wide variety of performance needs. If you’re looking for enhanced towing or hauling capabilities, the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 and 5.0-liter V8 engines are great options. For the F-150’s best EPA ratings — specifically, 23 mpg combined (22 city/24 highway) — check out the 430-horsepower PowerBoost hybrid V6! Meanwhile, the Raptor and Raptor R’s high-powered engines deliver an off-road ride like none other. And if you’re simply looking for the best deal, the F-150’s base engine delivers both impressive power (325 horses) and efficiency (up to 21 mpg combined (19 city/25 highway)).
2025 Ford F-150 Powertrain Options
- Standard 2.7L turbocharged V6 (325 hp, 400 lb-ft)
- Optional 5.0L V8 (400 hp, 410 lb-ft)
- Optional 3.5L turbo V6 (400 hp, 500 lb-ft)
- Optional 3.5L PowerBoost hybrid V6 (430 hp, 570 lb-ft)
- Raptor-exclusive 3.5L turbo V6 (450 hp, 510 lb-ft)
- Raptor R-exclusive 5.2L supercharged V8 (720 hp, 640 lb-ft)
- 10-speed automatic transmission
- XL: Rear-wheel drive or optional four-wheel drive
- XLT and up: Four-wheel drive
Both versions of the Toyota Tundra’s turbocharged V6 are big on power! The available hybrid engine, the i-FORCE MAX, is nearly as thrifty as the F-150’s PowerBoost, earning up to 22 mpg combined (20 city/24 highway). Properly equipped, the Tundra can tow almost as much as the F-150 — 12,000 pounds to the F-150’s best-in-class 13,000 pounds. But with the F-150 around, there’s no need to settle for almost!
2025 Toyota Tundra Powertrain Options
- Standard 3.4L turbo V6 (389 hp, 479 lb-ft)
- Optional 3.4L turbo i-FORCE MAX hybrid V6 (437 hp, 583 lb-ft)
- 10-speed automatic transmission
- Rear-wheel drive or optional four-wheel drive
