The 2020 Tundra and Tacoma are both popular trucks sold by Toyota, but what are the key differences? Take a look at the important distinctions between the 2020 Tundra and 2020 Tacoma.

Size and Exterior

The Tundra is a full-size truck, while the Tacoma is a half-ton truck, which is smaller and more economical. The Tacoma can have either a short bed with 38 cubic feet or a long bed with 47 cubic feet, while the Tundra’s beds come in either 55-cubic-feet or 65-cubic-feet sizes. Reflecting the size difference, The Tundra is also more spacious inside, in terms of headroom and legroom.

Power and Capability

The 2020 Tundra includes a single engine: a 5.7-liter V8 with 381 horsepower and 401 pound-feet of torque, giving it the better towing and payload numbers. By contrast, the 2020 Tacoma offers a 2.7-liter four-cylinder with 159 horsepower and 180 pound-feet of torque or a 3.5-liter V6 with 278 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque.

Technology and Convenience

The base model Tacoma has a 7-inch touchscreen, while the Tundra’s models all have an 8-inch screen, but every single model of Tacoma after the base also includes that bigger screen. The Tacoma offers some optional features not seen on the Tacoma, like a wireless device charging pad, power-sliding rear window, and 120-volt bed power outlet.

Overall, the Tundra is a better fit for a heavy-duty work truck, but the Tacoma has various exclusive off-roading features and a smaller size, making it superior for recreational off-roading.
