Year after year, full-size pickup trucks top the list of best-selling vehicles in North America. With Toyota renewing its Tundra pickup in 2022, you'd think it would give the Ram 1500 a run for its money. But no. Here's a comparison between the 2024 Ram 1500 and the 2024 Toyota Tundra.
Toyota no longer offers a V8
Under the hood of its Tundra, Toyota no longer offers the eight-cylinder engine it used to. Instead, buyers must fall back on a selection of 3.5 L V6 engines with varying degrees of power and performance. For its part, Stellantis continues to satisfy customers looking for a V8-powered pickup. In addition to the 3.6 L V6 engine, Stellantis offers the popular 5.7 L Hemi V8 engine. This engine develops 395 hp and 410 lb-ft of torque.
The Ram 1500 is less expensive
Whether for utility or leisure purposes, price matters when shopping for a full-size pickup. You'll be pleased to know that the 2024 Ram 1500 is less expensive than the 2024 Toyota Tundra. In fact, the 2024 Ram 1500 has an entry price of $52,740 for a Tradesman version. Toyota, on the other hand, offers the 2024 Tundra from $54,401.50. The price difference is considerable for consumers. What's more, we can't overlook the fact that the manufacturer adds a rebate applicable to the purchase of the 2024 Ram 1500, and that the Classic version is even less expensive.
The Ram 1500's towing capacity is higher
In terms of towing capacity, the 2024 Ram 1500 is ahead of the 2024 Toyota Tundra. The Ram 1500 can tow a load of up to 12,750 pounds or 5,783 kilograms. This towing capacity is slightly higher than that of the Tundra, which is 12,000 pounds or 5,440 kilograms. So, whether it's towing a trailer or a watercraft, the 2024 Ram 1500 will be able to do more than its rival.
Toyota Tundra's payload capacity is lower
The 2024 Toyota Tundra's payload capacity is lower than that of the 2024 Ram 1500. In fact, the Ram 1500 can carry a load of up to 2,300 pounds or 1,043 kilograms. In the case of the Tundra, the load capacity is 1940 pounds or 880 kilograms. So when it comes to transporting heavy objects or construction materials, the 2024 Ram 1500 will be able to complete the task with ease.
