25 F150 Tremor vs 25 Tundra Crewmax TRD?

I get it, lots of opinions incoming. But that's what I'm looking for.

My use case: Daily driver ~90% of the time, mostly city, occasional non tow road trip. Weekends/holidays it'll pull an off road capable ~7000# trailer up the highway down some crap forestry roads and sometimes up some sketchy but appropriate 2 track. I think either would make a decent choice but I've not owned either. Way back when I had an F350 which was a hassle in the city. Currently have an Atlas so I know sorta full sized truck parking issues. I think I can mitigate those mostly. I'm less experienced in towing things in general. So if you were to buy one of the above, what would you do?

Tundra air bags help DD ride quality and then improve towing?

Curious about the turn radius on both as well. I realize it's a full size but...

Might add the Titan Pro4x or Titan XD Pro4x to your list. I would personally go that route...ha. Between the new Tundra and the F150 Tremor I would go Tremor with the 5.0.

If buying right now, I’d go Ford. I don’t know what the current status is on the Tundra engines. My friend’s recently just stopped in the middle of the road. Engine shut off. Info screen said to contact Toyota. Restarted a few minutes later and did it again within a couple of miles. Waited 10-15 min and it stayed running. Toyota said they didn’t have an answer for it right now but there are a good number of cases out there.

A regular F150 with the FX4 would be a lot easier to find than a Tremor and a good compromise of towing and off road capabilities. Another option would be the Silverado Trail Boss. Titans were nice but are done and gone.

Tremor
1. Can get AWD with higher trim package (Big miss for Toyota)
2. Torsion Front
3. I feel the engine is pretty reliable overall
4. Fold flat rear floor (I think this is where Toyota really has a miss)
5. Rear Leafs and can add airbags pretty easy. For the price Tremor should have some better shocks IMO
6. They tow great but plan on pretty low MPG 8-10 depending on trailer
7. 36 gallon tank helps offset this though

Can still buy a new one. Heavily discounted as they end production but still come with a 5 year 100k comprehensive warranty.
