Toyota is well-known as a manufacturer of reliable vehicles and for a good reason. The new Toyota Tundra full size truck is no exception. It's spacious, comfortable, has plenty of torque for hauling and towing. But does it mean its the best one in its class? Let's find out.Â
Engines
The Ram 1500 4WD comes
with a standard 305-horsepower V6 and can be upgraded to a 5.7 liter
Hemi V8 with 395-horsepower. Also available for both engines is the
eTorque mild hybrid system. The eTorque option adds a battery powered,
belt-driven generator to improve performance and efficiency.
Toyota Tundra comes equipped with a 4.6-Liter Aluminum i-FORCE V8 engine that delivers 310-horsepower and 327 lb-feet of torque which is perfect for light to medium-duty jobs. But if you are someone with a little more power, check out the 5.7 liter V-8 with 381-horsepower and 401 lb-ft of torque. Both engine choices perform well on and off the road, too.
Towing CapacityHowever, when it
comes to towing capacity RAM 1500 is the clear winner - it can tow up to
12,750 lbs and haul up to 2,300 lbs. This makes the Ram one of the most
capable half ton pickups available. It can also be equipped with
trailer blind spot monitoring to help the driver tow safely.
The new Toyota Tundra, when properly equipped, can pull up to 10,200 pounds (with the upgraded, 5.7 liter). That's pretty good but not as good as the RAM 1500's towing capacity.
Interior
When
it comes to interior quality, the Ram 1500 has a clear advantage over its
rival. RAM 1500 4WD has a spacious, comfortable cabin and high quality
upgrades. The second row seating offers class-leading leg room. It can
also be upgraded to include a fold down center console and reclining
capabilities. The Ram 1500 can be equipped with a digital cluster
display with 3D graphics and a 19-speaker Harmon Kardon sound system. It
also offers buyers an optional oversized panoramic sunroof.
Tundra's interior is also spacious and comfortable. There's plenty of head and leg room for passengers. But what's really surprising is how luxurious it could be. Depending on the package, you can get leather upholstery and wood-grain trim. Heated and cooled front seats can be added in for even more comfort.
Infotainment System
The
new Ram 1500 4WD comes standard with a 5-inch touchscreen. The upper
trim levels also feature an 8.4 or massive 12 inch touchscreen. The
touchscreen controls the Ram's Uconnect system which can also be
upgraded to include navigation and Sirius XM with 360L. The upgraded
system features advanced audio capabilities as well as smartphone
pairing.
The new Toyota Tundra offers a great touchscreen for its infotainment system. It also doesn't hurt that the sound quality from the speakers in this truck is top notch. The Toyota Entune feature allows you to connect your smartphone to integrate multiple systems. You can even use the center console to access various smartphone apps and features for hands-free use while driving.
Safety Features
RAM
1500 4WD has more than 100 standard and available safety and security
features. Among them are blind spot monitoring,
rear cross path, lane departure warning, smart cruising, and guided
parking all designed to to keep you safe on the road. But the one that we like the most is the trailer blind spot monitoring feature that helps
the driver tow safely.
The new Toyota Tundra has a lot to offer, too. it comes equipped with the Standard Toyota Safety Sense P system (TSS-P). Dynamic Radar Cruise Control gives you a warning when you get close to an object when using cruise control and Lane Departure Alert keeps you going straight and steady on long road trips.
Price
Both truck are similarly priced so solely based on price its hard to make a decision. .
Conclusion
So Which is better, The Ram 150 or the Toyota Tundra? The verdict is.... RAM 1500 is a better deal, hands down! The Ram 1500 offers some more options when it comes to body style and engine choices. In addition, it has better mpg and offers a more comfortable ride compared to the Tundra.
If you go with the RAM 1500, you will
also have access to many class exclusive features including the RamBox
storage system, rear fold down center console and reclining rear seats.
