Comparison: 2023 Ford F-150 Powerboost Hybrid vs 2023 Toyota Tundra i-Force MAX Hybrid

both of these trucks are hybrids but one of  them is more fuel efficient more capable in   terms of Towing and payload and it's less  expensive can you guess which one it is   let's go for a drive and  I'll tell you which one it is [Music] when it comes to power both of these trucks have  twin turbocharged V6 engines with electric motors   helping them out they both also produce right  around the same amount of horsepower and torque   430 horsepower and 570 pound-feet of torque in  the Ford F-150 power boost and a little bit more   horsepower and torque in this Toyota Tundra  437 horsepower and 583 pound-feet of torque   but there is a big difference between the two and  that is the weight this Toyota Tundra is quite a   bit heavier than the F-150 which is why the F-150  has a better 0 to 60 time now having said that   whenever you put your foot down whether it's in  this Toyota Tundra or in the F-150 they both shed   their weight and they just pretty much fly they  accelerate very very quickly and you don't notice   just how heavy these trucks are a lot of that has  to do with the incident response of the electric   motor now both of these trucks use the same  electric motor it's 35 kilowatts which is about   47 48 horsepower and as soon as you put your foot  down the electric motor provides instant torque   until the turbochargers spool up and then they  provide the bulk of the power but in the F-150   the electric motor likes to take over a little  bit more often than the electric motor in this   Toyota Tundra that is when you're just driving  at a normal Pace on city streets like how I am   right now so as a result of that the Ford F-150  has better fuel economy than this Toyota Tundra   and you can even get better than advertised fuel  economy and the F-150 so during my week so far   of driving that truck I've been averaging in  the low 10 liter per 100 kilometer range and   on some trips I've even averaged as little  as nine and a half liters per 100 kilometers   now granted this was with mostly highway  driving and the truck was unloaded so it   was completely empty and I was sticking  to the speed limit but it is possible   whereas in this Toyota Tundra it's been quite  a lot more difficult to reach the rated fuel   economy numbers on highways it is a bit easier  to reach what it's rated for but in a city it   is unbelievably difficult to get anywhere  near what it's rated for realistically in   the city driving you're probably looking at  closer to 14 or 15 liters per 100 kilometers   which is why I am currently averaging about 13  and a half liters per 100 kilometers combined   now stepping into the Ford F-150 both of these  trucks use 10-speed automatic transmissions but   the 10 speed and this F-150 does things a little  bit differently at the lower gears so first off   both of the Transmissions shift nice and smoothly  and they react pretty quickly to a stab of the   throttle but under normal driving conditions  the transmission and the F-150 skips second gear   I don't know why it was programmed that way  so every time that you set off from a stop or   arrive at a stop the transmission goes from first  to Third and then four five six or vice versa and   this is under again normal driving conditions if  you're more aggressive with the throttle or if you   have the truck in sport or tow haul mode or one of  the other Drive modes then it will use second gear   but again I have no idea why Ford programmed it  this way because you can feel that step between   first and third after that you don't feel the gear  shifts they are really really smooth but first to   third you always feel it as for the driving  dynamics of these trucks well they're trucks   at the end of the day they won't keep up with a  Toyota Supra around corners or anything like that   steering is nice and light so makes it very  maneuverable at slower speeds mind you the   Turning Circle really depends on how big the box  is and how long the wheelbase is but otherwise   very simple and easy to maneuver in a parking  lot they are obviously full-size trucks so   they are quite big some parking lots may feel  small for them and the brakes nice and strong   brake pedal travel is linear Progressive  makes it for very easy and smooth stops   so we can't talk about trucks without talking  about their beds and their tailgates the Toyota   Tundra doesn't have anything fancy in terms  of the tailgate or the bed apart from the   fact that you can open it by a little button on  the side in case you don't want to open it with   the normal button that's on the tailgate  itself and once it is open you won't find   any sort of measurements or anything like that  there's no fancy tailgate step the bed itself   pretty straightforward one tie-down point at each  Corner Bed lighting and a power outlet right here   and that's about it the Ford F-150 on the other  hand is like a Bentley in comparison to that   the tailgate is power operated both down and  up optional extra of course this one has the tailgate step again another optional extra I  still prefer GM's multi-pro tailgate more so   than this one but at least it is functional the  tailgate itself has measurements right here it   has cup holder indentations you can even open  a bottle of beer with these things but don't   drink and drive unless it's that zero percent  alcohol beer in which case who buys those anyway   anyway as for the bed itself tie down point  at each Corner Bed lighting as well and this   one does have the pro power on board  the more powerful version of the pro   power on board so you get more power  outlets as well as a 240 volt [Music]   now onto the Interiors of these two trucks and  they're both very spacious even if you are as   tall as myself at six foot four here in the F-150  I have no complaints in terms of legroom and in   terms of Headroom and it's the same story in the  Toyota Tundra in the back seats technically the   Ford F-150 does have a tiny bit more space  but again both trucks are very very big so   somebody as tall as myself will have absolutely no  problems sitting in those back seats Additionally   you can lift up the back seats in both trucks  but in the Toyota Tundra you'll just find the   battery for the hybrid system in the F-150 you  can option it with the collapsible storage bin   or just have nothing there at all so you can  store really tall items back here in the front   of the F-150 all the controls are really simple  and well laid out and thankfully it doesn't have   the single touch screen that the F-150 Lightning  does where all the more commonly used functions   are buried in the infotainment system here radio  tuning climate control heated seats ventilated   seats they all have their own individual buttons  which I like very much same story in the Toyota   Tundra all the most used functions like heated  seats climates air or fan speed I should say   it's all well laid out and they all have their  own physical buttons so all in all both of the   trucks have very straightforward controls they're  both very spacious and both really comfortable   it's hard to choose one over the other but if I  really had to I would say that the interior of   this particular F-150 Lariat is just a tiny bit  nicer than the Toyota Tundra Limited on the Move   both trucks strike a good balance between payload  resistance when they're loaded up and ride Comfort   when they're not adaptive suspension is available  in both but neither of these demo trucks had them   cabin noises are kept in check with minimal  road noise from the tires almost no wind noise   at highway speeds and both engines sound pretty  decent when accelerating at a Brisk pace [Music] so the F-150 is more fuel efficient it's a  little bit more capable and it has a little   bit more space on the inside but now between these  two trucks which one is less expensive well that   one is the F-150 so you can get the F-150 with the  hybrid powertrain on the XLT and higher up trim   levels except for the off-road versions so the  Tremor and the Raptor but the XLT with the hybrid   powertrain starts at 65 000 Canadian whereas on  the Toyota Tundra you can have it on the limited   trim and higher ups including the TRD Pro but  the limited with the hybrid powertrain starts   at seventy thousand dollars Canadian now for that  price it does have quite a few good features on it   but the F-150 at 65 000 is basically just a truck  with the hybrid powertrain it doesn't really have   very many options on it you start to or once you  start to add on the options then this can become   quite expensive for example this Lariat trim with  all the extra bits and Bobs that it has onto it is   about ninety five thousand dollars Canadian tack  on the taxes and it's well over a hundred thousand   dollars but this limited trim it's only about  seventy five thousand dollars Canadian as equipped   though neither of these trucks are fully loaded  they are both well equipped with convenience   features heated and ventilated front seats heated  steering wheels panoramic sunroofs surround   view cameras wireless phone charging pads large  infotainment touch screens 14 inches in the Toyota   12 inches in a Ford but it's not a measuring  contest they both also have wireless connectivity   for carplay and Android auto Dual Zone automatic  climate controls digital driver displays memory   seats and so on but with the lower price I feel  the Toyota is slightly better value for money when   only looking at convenience features even if you  go for the top spec Capstone trim and compare it   against the limited trim of the Ford the Toyota is  less expensive for the same convenience features   so between these two trucks which one is better  well in my opinion and I can't believe I need   to stress this but this is just my opinion it's  totally fine if you don't agree with me I think   that the F-150 is the better hybrid truck it  has the same amount of power as the tundra   but it is more fuel efficient you can carry  and till more stuff with it it's a little bit   more spacious on the inside I also like the  interior design a little bit more than the   tundra and you can have it at a lower starting  price but having said that if you go crazy on the   options list then it does become quite a lot  more expensive than the tundra so that's the   give and take but at the end of the day I still  think that this one is the overall better hybrid   pickup truck and again that's just my opinion  it's totally fine if you don't agree with me   one thing that I do want to ask of all of you  is that if you do own an F-150 power boost or a   Toyota Tundra I force Max how has your ownership  been in terms of reliability that is are these   two reliable pickup trucks with their increased  complexity with twin turbo charging and the hybrid   please do let me know because I'm really curious  comment down below anyway if you'd like to know   more about either of these two trucks I have  written reviews with a few more details about them   over on my website you can find those links in the  video description or click on the pop-up Banner   right up there and as always I will see you in the  next car or truck or most likely it'll definitely   be an SUV anyway thank you for watching I hope  you enjoyed this video and see you next time   [Music]
