What about if your work takes you off the beaten path? Then you’ll need the ability to go off-road. There are off-roading options on the Toyota Tundra TRD Pro and the Ford F-150 Raptor. They both feature reliable components like heavy-duty FOX® shocks. However, with the extra cost of the F-150, you’ll have more driver-assist features like:
