Toyota trucks, like the Toyota Tacoma, consistently outperform the competition - but what about the latest Tundra? Let's take a look at the newest Toyota Tundra vs. Chevy Silverado 1500 to see which has the performance chops and utility to make your life easier.

Performance
Between the Toyota Tundra vs. Chevy Silverado, the Toyota Tundra specs are superior. Compare the Tundra's 5.7L V8 to the Silverado's 5.3L V8, for example, and you'll find greater performance chops on the Tundra. Motor Trend found that it zoomed from 0 to 60 mph in just 6 seconds, while the Silverado took 7.1 seconds to do the same. Plus, the Tundra offers an incredible four-wheel-drive system with Active Traction Control. The Silverado does not offer a true four-wheel-drive system, which means a higher chance of losing traction on those slick Streamwood roads.

Passenger and Cargo
No truck comparison is complete without a review of capacity. Yet again, the Toyota Tundra steals the show with its highly capable build:
- The Tundra has nearly two extra inches of front hip room in the Double Cab and Crew options, and its rear seats recline for extra comfort.
- The Tundra has a 6,400 pound minimum standard towing capacity, which is far greater than the 5,500 pound limit of the Silverado.
