2022 Ford F-250 vs Toyota Tundra
If you’re on the hunt for your next pickup truck, then you’re probably considering two of the most popular models: the 2022 Ford F-250 and the 2022 Toyota Tundra. In this comparison, we at Rountree Ford will go over the key differences between these models, including performance, capability, and technology. Drivers near Shreveport, Bossier City, and Stonewall, LA, should read ahead to learn more.
Ford F-250 vs Toyota Tundra: Performance
The 2022 Ford F-250 was built with the toughest jobs in mind. The equipment lineup for this model flaunts high-performance engine options, including a 6.2L Flex Fuel V8 gas engine, a 7.3L V8 gas engine, and a 6.7L Power Stroke® V8 Turbo Diesel engine. The diesel engine produces 1,050 lb-ft of torque and 475 horsepower.
The Toyota Tundra offers two available engines, a standard 3.5L Twin-Turbo V6 engine that pales in comparison to the F-250. When working at peak performance, this engine pumps out just 389 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque. The available 3.5L MAX Twin-Turbo V6 engine offers more than the standard, but not as much as the F-250 with 437 horsepower and 583 lb-ft of torque.
Ford F-250 vs Toyota Tundra: Towing and Payload Capacity
With its powerful and robust equipment, it should come as no surprise that the 2022 Ford F-250 is a beast for towing and payload capacity. When properly equipped, the Ford F-250 offers:
- Maximum available gas conventional towing capacity of 21,000 pounds.
- Maximum available 5th-wheel/gooseneck towing capacity of 22,800 pounds.
- Maximum available payload capacity of 4,260 pounds.
The best the Toyota Tundra can do is 11,175 pounds of trailer weight when the vehicle is properly configured. That’s just over half the maximum conventional towing capacity of the F-250. The Tundra also only has a maximum of 1,740 pounds of payload capacity when properly equipped. Long story short, your adventures and projects will be limited in the Tundra.
Ford F-250 vs Toyota Tundra: Technologies
The 2022 Ford F-250 has the brains to go with the brawn, offering all kinds of next-level technology features to take advantage of. The F-250 offers a robust and comprehensive active safety suite that blows that of the Tundra out of the water.
The Ford truck offers available systems, including Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking, Adaptive Cruise Control, Forward Collision Warning with Brake Support, and Pro Trailer Backup Assist™. The latter feature provides an in-cabin knob that helps you steer your trailer along with your vehicle.
The Tundra’s standard Toyota Safety Sense™ 2.5 suite offers similar systems. While you will get helpful features, like Automatic High Beams, and a system similar to the F-250’s Pre-Collision Assist, you won’t get a feature comparable to Ford’s available Hill Descent Control™. This works like cruise control, focusing on speed while you navigate down steep hills.
2022 Ford F-250: A Pickup Truck for Every Project
As you can see, there’s no competition between the 2022 Ford F-250 and the Toyota Tundra. When asked to tow, the F-250 says “how much?” while the Tundra says “maybe.” Broaden your horizons on the worksite and the weekend with a model that is ready for anything.
