Ram 1500 vs Toyota Tundra

For example, the Tundra impresses drivers with its hybrid i-FORCE MAX engine. This is thanks to its ability to reach 437 horsepower and 583 lb-ft of torque.

However, a quick look at the options for your 1500 shows an even more action-packed engine: 6.2L Supercharged HEMI® V8. This engine can produce an incredible 702 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque. This is a great choice for those looking for unyielding, unlocked potential.

The same is shown when comparing the model’s towing capacities. When properly equipped, the Toyota Tundra can pull up to 12,000 pounds. When paired with the proper equipment, on the other hand, the Ram 1500 can transport up to 12,750 pounds of your bulkiest equipment.

The Ram 1500 doesn’t only offer ultra-powerful engines, but also offers available performance features that enhance your capabilities as well. Take, for instance, the available Active-Level™ Four Corner Air Suspension, which automatically lowers the vehicle to lessen drag and reach maximum efficiency.

The lowering capability can be used to easily access the bed and cab. It also comes in handy when hitching your attachments or entering a parking spot.

Here is a list of some available towing features found within the Ram model...

• Trailer 360-degree Surround View Camera: Get a 360-degree view of your surroundings. Pair this feature up with the Trailer-Tow Power-Fold Mirrors and receive an aerial view around both the truck and trailer.
• Trailer Reverse Steering Control: Get ultimate control with a system that allows you to steer with the Trailer Steering Knob, and control the truck’s steering wheel.
• Trailer Light Check: Easily check from inside your cabin if your trailer lights are functioning.
• Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring System: This system updates you on the current tire pressure of up to four trailers and up to 12 tires per trailer.

To receive all these systems and more, add the available Trailer Tow Group package. Not only do these towing features make an appearance, but you’ll receive other entertainment technologies like a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot and Ram Connect. Besides adding a TOW/HAWL driving mode and a few available suspension systems, Toyota does not offer its drivers any tow-specific packages.

When taking a drive with the Ram 1500, you have a choice to be greeted with the available advanced Uconnect® 5C, which comes with a 12-inch touchscreen and new customizable features.

In either vehicle, you can sync your smartphone using wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ to stream your playlists and podcasts.
