Chevrolet Silverado vs Toyota Tundra: Performance & Power

If you’re after a vehicle that’s well suited to helping you haul thousands of pounds, the Chevy Silverado 1500 and Toyota Tundra both bring with them tons of power. You can expect either of these to tow thousands of pounds with them, so you’ll have no trouble handling hard work.

Taking a more granular look at these vehicles, though, we see how they compare. With the Chevy Silverado 1500, you can choose six different engines, including an available 6.2L EcoTec3 V8 engine with up to 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. This powertrain will even let you haul up to 13,300 pounds of cargo behind you when properly equipped.

Compare this to the Toyota Tundra, which only offers one engine for you to choose from: the 5.7L i-FORCE V8 engine. This powertrain provides you with up to 381 horsepower and 401 lb-ft of torque. With this engine, you can expect this vehicle to haul up to 10,200 pounds of cargo behind you.

While both of these vehicles provide you with plenty of muscle, the Chevy Silverado 1500 provides you with just a bit more power over the Toyota Tundra.

Silverado vs Tundra: Dimensions

You, your coworkers, your family members, and your friends will also feel a lot more comfortable in the version of the Chevy Silverado 1500. Take a look at these passenger dimensions:

• Shoulder Room (Front/Rear): 66.02 inches/65.16 inches
• Hip Room (Front/Rear): 61.18 inches/60.24 inches

Now, compare those passenger dimensions with what you can look forward to inside the Toyota Tundra:

• Headroom (Front/Rear): 39.7 inches/38.9 inches
• Legroom (Front/Rear): 42.5 inches/42.3 inches
• Shoulder Room (Front/Rear): 65.7 inches/65.5 inches
• Hip Room (Front/Rear): 62.6 inches/60.4 inches

Except for second-row shoulder room and both rows of hip room, the Chevy outperforms the Toyota in every measurement!
