When it comes to shopping for a new truck, you have a number of great options, including the Toyota Tacoma and Toyota Tundra. Learn more about each truck to figure out which will best suit your needs.
Size
One of the key differences between the two trucks is size. The Tacoma is a midsize, while the Tundra is full-size. As a result, the Tundra can tow quite a bit more when properly equipped. The Tacoma towing capacity caps out at 6,800 pounds, but the Tundra can tow up to 10,000 pounds with the available towing package.
Engine Options
The full-size Tundra also has beefier engine options than the Tacoma. You can opt for either a V8 4.6-liter engine that produces 327 pound-feet of torque and 310 horsepower, or the 5.7-liter V8 engine that increases the horsepower to 380 and the torque to 397 pound-feet. The Tacoma offers two engine options as well: a four-cylinder 2.7-liter engine that produces 159 horsepower and the V6 4.0-liter engine that has an increased output of 236 horsepower.
Family-Friendly
The Tundra offers more space along with premium safety features such as rear cross-traffic alert, the Toyota Star Safety System, and blind spot monitoring. The Tacoma also has a full-size cab with seating for five, so there is plenty of room for passengers and gear.
No matter which truck you choose, both the Toyota Tacoma and Toyota Tundra will offer great features and options that will make it a great fit for what you need.
