MAX HORSEPOWER
MAX TOWING
MULTIFUNCTION TAILGATE
You’re always the first call people make when they need some heavy lifting done. After all, great power comes with great responsibility—something both the Ram 1500 and the Toyota Tundra know all too well. Let’s see which one is more capable when it comes to wielding their power.
The Toyota Tundra can handle just about anything you hook up. It has a maximum towing capacity of 12,000 pounds. If you need more strength, however, the Ram 1500 will give it to you. It can tow up to 12,750 pounds of your bulkiest equipment.
You can work smarter and harder with these trucks. They share a litany of towing technologies. Here’s a list of some available towing features found with both models:
- Trailer 360-degree Surround View Camera
- Trailer Sway Damping
- Trailer Brake Controller
- Adaptive Air Suspension
They’re also available with a system that helps you park your trailer like a pro. The system of the Tundra can help you keep it moving in a straight line, while the Trailer Reverse Steering Control in the Ram 1500 comes with a knob that automatically steers the trailer in the direction you want it to go.
A lot of the best experiences behind the wheel of your truck happen way off the beaten path. Whether you’re carving up the trails to your next campsite, trudging through a rugged campsite, or finding a parking spot at the music festival, the Ram 1500 and the Toyota Tundra can get through it all.
The Ram 1500 TRX is the most off-road-ready trim level of the bunch, while the Toyota Tundra can be primed for all-terrain performance with its available TRD Off-Road Package. They both come with performance features like Bilstein® shocks and eight selectable drive modes.
The TRX also comes with Selec-Speed® Control. This off-road cruise control maintains a set low speed over rough terrain so you can focus on charting the trail ahead. The Tundra is available with Crawl Control, a similar system.
The most potent engine available with the Tundra is the 3.4L i-FORCE MAX Twin-Turbo V6, which pumps out 437 horsepower. Impressed? Prepare to be blown away by the Ram 1500 TRX. It comes with a Supercharged 6.2L HEMI® V8 that cranks out 702 horsepower and gallops from 0 to 60 MPH in just 4.5 seconds.
Practical features are sure to make every job easier to tackle. Luckily, both the Ram 1500 and the Toyota Tundra come with lots of advanced infotainment systems and workable exterior features, so you can maintain your flow whether you're hosting the tailgate or running the jobsite.
The Ram 1500 and the Tundra each offer a large touchscreen display that acts as your command center. They give you access to a similar set of systems, including:
- Apple CarPlay®
- Android Auto™
- SiriusXM® Radio
- Navigation
If you like to whistle while you work, you’ll love the Ram 1500. It’s available with a 19-speaker Harmon Kardon® Premium Sound System. It can turn any place into a live concert venue. On the other hand, the Toyota is available with a JBL® sound system, which is only available with 12 speakers.
Packing up the truck bed will be easier with the Ram 1500 thanks to two exclusive features. The available multifunction tailgate opens as a traditional tailgate and features 60/40 split swing-away doors. There’s also the optional RamBox® Cargo Management System, which integrates lit, lockable storage bins into the side of the bed.
The competition is close, and it’s clear to see that the Ram 1500 is the victor in this showdown. Between its practical design features, superior off-road capability, and stronger towing, it’s exactly what you’re looking for in a truck near Clarks Summit, Dickson City, and Dalton, PA.
