Ram 1500 vs Toyota Tundra: The Performance Comparison

The Ram 1500 is quite the standout in terms of engine choices. Its lineup consists of three impressive possibilities. First up is the 3.6-liter Pentastar® V6 that comes standard. It's quite ferocious with 305 horsepower and 269 lb-ft of torque.

There's also an available 5.7-liter HEMI® V8 engine that supplies you with 395 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque. The third and final Ram 1500 engine is the available 5.7-liter HEMI® V8 with eTorque. Its output can also get up to 395 horsepower with 410 lb-ft of torque.

Unfortunately, the Toyota Tundra offers just one engine. That would be a 5.7-liter V8 that has a maximum output of 381 horsepower and 401 lb-ft of torque.

A Look Inside the Cabin

Comfort is likely to be a pretty high priority when searching for your next truck. The 1500 has plenty. For instance, it boasts 40.9 inches of headroom and 63.4 inches of hip room in the front and 39.2 inches of headroom and 63.4 inches of hip room in the back.

The Tundra's interior isn't nearly as accommodating as that of the 1500. This is made obvious when examining its measurements for the same areas. The Toyota Tundra only has 39.7 inches of headroom and 62.6 inches of hip room in the front and 38.9 inches of headroom and 60.4 inches of hip room in the back.

Comparing Conveniences

One noteworthy convenience feature in the Ram 1500 is the available RamCharger Wireless Charging Pad. It helps keep everyone on board fully charged no matter how long the ride proves to be. Plus, there's no need to bring along any wires or cords with you.

Unfortunately, the Toyota Tundra isn't available with wireless charging.

The 1500 continues to outshine the Tundra by providing easy access to the infotainment system via a 12-inch display screen. The largest the Tundra gets in terms of available display screen size is eight inches.

Ram 1500 vs Toyota Tundra: The Verdict

Because of things like its formidable engine lineup, the sheer spaciousness of its cabin, and its supportive conveniences, the Ram 1500 shows itself to be the superior choice over the Toyota Tundra.
