2013 Toyota Tundra vs. 2013 Toyota Tacoma Review

Comparison Review


Comfort
Passengers in the extended cab will be able to stretch out a lot more with the Toyota Tundra than the Toyota Tacoma. The Toyota Tundra offers just a little more head- and legroom than the Toyota Tacoma, making it a little roomier and more comfortable.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Toyota Tundra as you will with the Toyota Tacoma, as they can travel a similar number of miles on a tank of gas.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Toyota Tundra will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Toyota Tacoma, which has a much lower MSRP. Another consideration is the Destination Charge, which is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle to the dealer from where it's built. The Destination Charge for the Toyota Tundra is much higher than that of the Toyota Tacoma.

Dimensions
Since the Toyota Tundra is much wider than the Toyota Tacoma, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. If you go with the Toyota Tundra, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Toyota Tacoma.

Drivetrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Toyota Tundra does a much better job of transmitting the horsepower of the engine to the wheels than the Toyota Tacoma.

Handling
The Toyota Tundra has a significantly larger turning radius than the Toyota Tacoma, making it much more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When considering towing capacity, the Toyota Tundra is clearly the choice over the Toyota Tacoma for pulling heavy loads. When it comes to horsepower, the Toyota Tundra greatly outmuscles the Toyota Tacoma.

Utility
The Toyota Tundra offers a little more seating capacity than the Toyota Tacoma, making it a better choice for those who often have a crew with them.

Warranty
The Toyota Tundra comes with essentially the same basic warranty as the Toyota Tacoma.
