However, when it comes to highway cruising I've been very pleased with the smoothness of the ride. Ride quality is pretty much what you'd expect from a truck with an empty bed when going over things like railroad tracks and other bumps in the road. I've been blown away by how quiet the 2.7L twin-turbo Ecoboost engine is, and the power is more than abundant. It may be a bit too early to draw any concrete conclusion, but at this point I do not think Toyota could have built a truck that is more solid or quiet than the Ford. I've now driven my 2015 2WD Ford F150 XLT for about 1500 miles. Even at today's prices, I could not justify buying a Tundra that will not get better than 15-16 mpg (real world) on the highway. The major factor that won me over to the Ford over the Toyota Tundra is the gas mileage. I originally wanted the SuperCrew, but it did not fit in my garage (about 4 inches too long). When I started looking at a full sized pickup, however, I broadened my search to include Ford for 3 very large reasons: They have come a LONG way in the area of quality, their Ecoboost engines offer great fuel economy, and Ford did not take government bailout money. I've been a Toyota/Honda guy since 1987 because I've always been very happy with their quality and reliability.
