If you’re in the market for a new truck, you should consider Toyota’s powerful pickups. We all know that Toyota lives up to its name on reliability and safety, so with two trucks to choose from, the question is: which is better, the Toyota Tacoma or the Toyota Tundra? Both are highly performant, yet refined machines, each optimized for different tasks. Let’s take a deeper dive into both these truck models.
Tundra vs. Tacoma: Towing Capacity
Both the Toyota Tundra and Tacoma are capable trucks that are more than ready to work hard. The Tacoma can pull an admirable 6,800 pounds at the top end with its available 3.5L V6. If you really need power, swing for the Tundra, who has a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 that offers 348 horsepower and 405 lb-ft of torque, enabling the Tundra to haul up to 12,000 pounds.
When grinding hard at work, it’s more important than anywhere else to keep safe. That’s why the Toyota Tundra has a Trailer-Sway Control and available Integrated Trailer Brake Controller to keep your trailer stabilized and you safe, no matter where you haul it.

Tundra size vs. Tacoma size
When it comes to pickup and utility trucks, size does matter. Between the Toyota Tacoma and Tundra, the Tundra is the bigger truck, both in cab and bed: it comes standard with a 6.5-ft. bed with an option to extend it out to 8 feet, if you need even more space.
By contrast, the Tacoma has a 6-ft. standard bed length, which makes it a bit easier to maneuver around parking lots, tight city street corners, or mountainous craigs. If you want a big powerful beast of a truck, go for the Tundra. If lithe and limber is more your style, a Tacoma is a great choice.
