The new F150 will also offer a "trailer sway mitigation system" that uses the new standard Roll Stability Control to determine if the trailer is moving the truck and respond accordingly. Ford will also offer a back-up camera and a trailer hitch step system similar to the SuperDuty on the new 150.

Comparing The Engines

Ford hasn't suggested they're going to add a more powerful gas engine to the F150, meaning that the Toyota Tundra will maintain it's supremacy in terms of horsepower and towing. Ford's new F150 diesel will probably be rated to tow more than 11,000 lbs, but it will directly compete with the new diesel Tundra, which should also be rated at more than 11,000. It's anyone's guess to see what these trucks are rated to pull, but 12,000 lbs seems like the limit. It will be interesting to see who builds both of these diesel engines, as Ford's relationship with Navistar is ending and it's still unclear if Toyota will use a diesel from Isuzu, Hino, or one sourced internally.

Toyota's Response to the "Ecoboost " Engine

Originally, it was thought Toyota would produce a hybrid version of the Tundra, but it is known that the Tundra Hybrid is dead. As for the F150's new Platinum edition, it seems like the Tundra Limited has that covered. Both manufacturers will probably offer rear heated seats, some sort of entertainment/information system, special colors, interiors, etc. Nothing revolutionary, but nice nonetheless.
