There’s no such thing as too much strength under the hood, and both the Silverado and the Tundra prove this to be true. While both trucks undoubtedly pack a punch on the road, some differences should be noted.

First are the engines you’ll find for each model. The Toyota Tundra comes outfitted with a robust 3.5L V6 engine that produces an impressive 348 horsepower and 405 lb-ft of torque to fuel your drives. You’ll also have the choice of two other i-FORCE engines.

This raises the question, though: How does the Chevy Silverado 1500 stack up?

If you’re looking for the power of choice, the Silverado 1500 is the way to go. It offers a whopping 4-engine lineup, with everything from fuel-efficient turbocharged engines to V8 options, including the powerful 6.2L V8 engine. This gives you a whopping 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque to tackle any duty in your future.

The Toyota Tundra’s available engines are mighty and will help you get any job done. However, the Chevy’s additional engine, plus its greater power supply overall, provides a more dynamic and capable companion.

In the 2022 Tundra, you can tow up to 12,000 pounds when properly equipped. This allows you to trailer everything from work supplies to recreational boats with extreme ease. Plus, with Trailer-Sway Control, you can expect the load behind to be safe and secure.

Thanks to its extensive engine lineup, the 2022 Silverado 1500 takes towing to the next level. When outfitted with the right equipment, this truck can tow a maximum 13,300 pounds, quite a bit more than its competitor.

Hitching up can be challenging, and the Chevy Silverado 1500 is here to provide various solutions to your towing travels. It adds extra towing technologies for safer and easier trailering. These include:

• 14 available camera views
• Advanced Trailering System (in-vehicle)
• Trailer Tire Pressure and Temperature Monitoring System

Even though both models can be equipped with Hitch Guidance systems, the Silverado offers more assistance when it comes to towing in comparison to the Tundra.

Payload can be just as important as towing, and both the Chevy Silverado and the Toyota Tundra know how to carry your hefty equipment with ease. While the Tundra does boast quite an impressive max payload of 1,940 pounds, it’s hard to beat the maximum 2,270-pound payload in the Silverado 1500.

With truck bed capabilities in either truck, you can pack away all your camping gear, a bed full of work supplies, home renovation equipment, or even some thrift store pickups!

Once again, the Chevy truck takes things up a notch, making hauling even easier. With its highly functional bed, which sports a best-in-class cargo space of 89.1 cubic feet, you’ll find a plethora of handy features. Some include:

• 12 standard tie-downs
• Available Power Up and Down Tailgate
• Available cargo bed LED lighting
• Available Multi-Flex Tailgate with 6 different settings

The Tundra does offer a deck rail system as well, but it only offers four adjustable tie-down cleats compared to the Silverado’s 12 fixed cleats.
