POWER AND PERFORMANCE

The Toyota Tundra has one standard engine. The 3.4L Twin-Turbo V6 engine provides 358 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque. It’s paired with a standard 10-speed Electronically Controlled automatic Transmission with intelligence.

On the other hand, the GMC Sierra offers a lot more flexibility with multiple engines to choose from. There’s a range of 310 horsepower to an impressive 420 horsepower. The torque has a similarly impressive range from 383 lb-ft to 495 lb-ft.

You also get a choice of transmissions, including an 8-speed automatic transmission or a 10-speed automatic transmission in the GMC Sierra.

On top of all this, the GMC Sierra also offers a Traction Select System that adjusts the Sierra’s transmission shift points and throttle to optimize performance depending on the terrain. The modes include Tour, Sport, Terrain, Snow, Tow/Haul, and Off Road.

TOWING AND PAYLOAD CAPACITY

When you purchase a truck, you probably want to use it to tow and haul.

The Toyota Tundra offers plenty of towing capacity. When properly equipped, the Tundra has a maximum towing capacity of 12,000 pounds. If you need to load up the truck bed, you’d have 1,940 pounds of payload capacity to work with.

By comparison, the GMC Sierra has 1,000 pounds more towing capacity. When properly equipped, the maximum towing capacity comes to 13,000 pounds. The Sierra also outdoes the Tundra in terms of payload capacity with up to 2,500 pounds of payload capacity.

TECHNOLOGY FEATURES

Both the Tundra and the Sierra have plenty of tech to help keep you safe and enhance your drives. These trucks offer standard infotainment systems with available in-vehicle navigation. The Sierra takes this one step further with an available 15-inch Head-Up Display. With this display, you get important driving information, like speed, navigation, safety alerts, and more, projected right on your windshield.

The Tundra and the Sierra both also have standard rearview cameras. However, for a truly complete look at the Sierra’s surroundings and truck bed, you can opt for up to 14 different available camera views with HD Surround Vision, the Rear Camera Mirror, and the Bed View Camera. You can use these to maneuver around obstacles, check on your truck bed, and more.
