Chevrolet Silverado vs. Toyota Tundra: Which Pickup is Right for You?
Â
There’s just something special about pickup trucks. They’re ideal for hauling cargo around, rugged off-road adventures, or simply for cruising through town. Their versatility is incredible, especially when you select a first-rate make and model.
This raises the question: What’s the top pickup on the market today? There are plenty of popular options to choose from, including the Chevrolet Silverado and the Toyota Tundra. Both are excellent vehicles, but they’ve each got a few key distinctions worth noting. Here’s a side-by-side comparison of these two top-notch pickups.
About the Chevrolet Silverado
The Silverado is Chevy’s entry in the full-size, light-duty pickup field. A few quick bullet points:
- There are a number of powertrains to choose from, depending on your towing needs. Engine power ranges from 277 hp to 420 hp.
- The long cabin is spacious and roomy, with ample space for both driver and passengers.
- A massive bed capacity of 89.1 cu.ft. of standard cargo bed volume, ideal for anyone who does a lot of hauling.
- A combined fuel efficiency of 17mpg with the most powerful engine configuration (L84/YK9 5.3L EcoTec3 V8)—a respectable measurement for pickups in this class.
- 9,500 lbs. towing capacity when equipped with Duramax® 3.0L Turbo-Diesel engine
About the Toyota Tundra
Now let’s compare that with the Toyota Tundra. Here are some quick facts:
- Like the Silverado, the Tundra offers a decent-sized cabin with plenty of rear legroom.
- Compared with other pickups, there aren’t quite as many opportunities to customize.
- With a fuel efficiency rate of 14mpg (combined), it’s a little below average in terms of fuel economy.
- With a V8 engine and 381 hp @ 5600 rpm, it’s definitely a powerhouse, but slightly less powerful than the Silverado’s 420 hp V8.
Clearly, both are well-made trucks. The Silverado is our choice for overall comfort, flexibility, and performance, but the Tundra certainly has some impressive power behind it. Ultimately, it comes down to what you’re looking for in your next pickup truck.
