Ram 1500 vs Toyota Tundra: Spotlight on Performance

When it comes to performance, you want to be sure that the truck you end up choosing has what it takes to be able to take on a variety of challenges. That’s exactly what you’ll get from the Ram 1500. Its wide-ranging engine lineup makes it possible for you to customize its performance capabilities according to your specific needs.

There are three engines from which you can choose. The most potent engine is the 5.7L HEMI® V8 with eTorque. It supplies you with a maximum output of 395 horsepower, 410 lb-ft of torque, and 12,750 pounds of towing capacity. The 1500 is available with a standard 5.7L HEMI® V8 as well. This engine also equips you with 395 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque. In terms of towing, you can expect to get a maximum capacity of 11,610 pounds.

Next up is the 3.6L Pentastar® V6 engine, standard on most trim levels of the Ram 1500. It gives you as much as 305 horsepower along with 269 lb-ft of torque. Its maximum towing capacity is 7,730 pounds.

The Toyota Tundra doesn’t provide you with as many possibilities when it comes to what you’ve got under the hood. In fact, it only offers a 5.7L V8 with 381 horsepower and 401 lb-ft of torque. Its towing capacity is 10,100 pounds.

The Comfort and Convenience Comparison

Another automotive category that’s likely to be quite high on your list of priorities is comfort. The Ram 1500 certainly has you covered here since it presents you and your passengers with plenty of room to move around. This is made obvious by the fact that it has 40.9 inches of headroom and 63.4 inches of hip room in the front seats and 39.2 inches of headroom and 63.4 inches of hip room in the back.

The Toyota Tundra isn’t quite as spacious on the inside. Up front, the headroom only comes to 39.7 inches and the hip room is 62.6 inches. The Tundra’s second row also falls short by only offering 38.9 inches of headroom and 60.4 inches of hip room.

When it comes to convenience, the Ram 1500 makes things a bit easier when you’re behind the wheel. Available items that make this happen include the RamCharger Wireless Charging Pad that sees to it that your mobile devices are fully charged without the need for any charger cords. There’s also the 12-inch infotainment display that allows you to access all its controls without taking any of your attention away from the drive.

Not only does the Tundra not offer wireless charging, but its largest available display screen is only eight inches.
