Toyota Tundra vs Chevy Silverado
The 2022 Toyota Tundra and the 2022 Chevy Silverado are two of the most powerful—and popular—trucks on the market today. Either could be the ideal vehicle for your drives near Orleans, Eastham, and Harwich, MA. So, the question is, which should you choose?
To help you decide between these two capable models, Ira Toyota of Orleans has put together a comparison of the Toyota Tundra vs. the Chevy Silverado. Read through it and see how these models measure up when placed head to head.
Get to Work
The performance specs of the Tundra and the Silverado are sure to impress. These trucks are made to handle serious jobs and offer excellent capacities with their powertrains. The Toyota Tundra comes standard with a 3.5L Twin-Turbo V6 engine that achieves 348 horsepower and 405 lb-ft of torque.
The standard powertrain of the Silverado lags behind, generating 310 horsepower and 348 lb-ft of torque. That powertrain is bound to leave you wanting more—as will the drivetrain.
The Chevy Silverado comes standard with an 8-speed automatic transmission. While this is a capable transmission, it’s not really as smooth or as dependable as the 10-speed Electronically Controlled automatic Transmission of the Toyota Tundra.
These powertrain differences make for a slight contrast in the MPG ratings of each vehicle. The standard Toyota Tundra earns an EPA-estimated 18 city/24 highway MPG.1 While the city MPG of the Silverado is similar, it only offers 22 highway MPG. So, if you’ll be spending a lot of time cruising the highways around town, the Tundra may be the more economical choice.
Towing Technology
Both of these vehicles offer an impressive towing capacity when properly equipped. The 2022 Tundra and the 2022 Silverado can handle your camper, your boat, or your trailer with ease. When it comes to the features that enhance your towing experience, though, the Tundra has a little more to offer than the Silverado.
For one thing, Trailer-Sway Control comes standard on the Tundra. This feature will help to keep you and your cargo steady on the road, even on those winding roads. This perk isn’t included standard on the Silverado.
The Tundra is also available with specialized TOW/HAUL driving modes, so you can optimize your vehicle’s performance to meet the needs of your drive.
