You have quite a few attractive options when you’re looking for a full-size truck, two of the most popular being the 2020 Toyota Tundra and the 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. While both certainly have a lot to offer, we think there’s plenty of reasons that one of these trucks wins out over the other. Find out which you should choose in this side-by-side comparison.
Though Chevrolet offers several flashy powertrain options for the 2020 Silverado 1500, the base Tundra engine beats all but one of the Silverado’s engines in terms of power. The 2020 Toyota Tundra is powered by a 5.7-liter V8 with 381 horsepower and 401 pound-feet of torque. The base 2020 Silverado 1500 engine is a 4.3-liter V6 with 285 horsepower and 305 pound-feet of torque. Both trucks come standard with rear-wheel drive and 6-speed automatic transmission in their base forms. Another plus for the Tundra, it has a stellar reputation for long term reliability, offering both a high resale value and unmatched durability for those who like to drive their vehicles into the ground.
Inside, the Tundra continues on its winning streak by offering a standard 8-inch touchscreen infotainment center, a more modern design, and standard Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto. The Silverado’s standard infotainment screen is only 7-inches, though smartphone connectivity is standard as well. You also have more options for the gear shift in the Tundra, which offers either column shifter or a console-mounted gear level depending on the trim, where the Silverado 1500 only offers a column shifter. You’ll see the Tundra’s reputation for durability inside the cabin, too, where high-quality materials outshine its competitors at every turn.
These days, it’s surprising when a new model doesn’t come standard with driver assistance features, but that’s exactly the case in this matchup. While the 2020 Toyota Tundra comes standard with Toyota’s innovative Safety Sense suite which includes automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning, lane-departure warning, adaptive cruise control, and automatic high beams, the 2020 Chevy Silverado 1500 does not come standard with any driver assistance features.
The Toyota Tundra has been a stalwart of its segment for a long time, and it’s easy to see why when you stack it up against a competitor like the 2020 Chevy Silverado 1500.
