When you want a truck that’s powerful, reliable and works just as hard as you do, both the 2018 Tundra and the Chevy Silverado are likely to make the top of your list. But how do Birmingham drivers choose from two such well-known and well-regarded models? You take a look at the facts and eventually, you’re sure to see a clear winner emerge – the 2018 Toyota Tundra. From the appearance of the vehicle, to the standard interior and technology features, deciding between the two may be easier than you think.
Powerful and rugged. These are features every Central Alabama truck buyer wants their vehicle to reflect. While the 2018 Tundra remains unchanged in terms of exterior design, the release of the all-new Tundra TRD Sport brings along an abundance of exterior enhancements including 20-inch alloy wheels. While the 2018 Tundra remains fairly unchanged in terms of appearance, the same came be said for the 2018 Silverado 1500. While beauty is in the eye of the truck buyer, its up to you as to which exterior design you prefer for the 2018 model year.
When it comes to the interior of the Tundra and Silverado, there a few differences to note in terms of space and what comes standard on the vehicle. For tall drivers, the Silverado 1500 is going to offer slightly more head and leg room than the Tundra, but this is only an inch or two more in most areas. Both trucks are equipped with premium amenities, but it’s the standard equipment that really sets the two apart. The Tundra is going to give you the features you want most, like power windows and power locks as standard on even the base trim. While power locks come standard on the Silverado, features like power windows are listed as optional, leaving you in better hands if you go with the base-model Tundra.
The Toyota Tundra came out with a V8 option, and it was then that Toyota was officially immersed in the full-size pickup market.
The 2018 Silverado comes standard with a six-speaker audio system, hands-free connectivity, infotainment system and 7-inch touchscreen. In the base 2018 Tundra, you’ll get Entune Audio with a 6.1-in. touch-screen, an integrated backup camera, USB 2.0 port with increased charging capability and iPod connectivity. Both are well-equipped when it comes to technology, though the standard inclusion of the Toyota Safety Sense P Package may put the Tundra slightly ahead of the Silverado.
When deciding on a full-size light-duty pickup truck, both the 2018 Tundra and 2018 Silverado 1500 are both worthy competitors. But ultimately, if you go with the Toyota Tundra, not only are you going to get a more powerful base engine, but even going with the standard model, you’ll get more horsepower, greater torque and better towing. Plus, when you add in comfort and convenience, it’s just more fun to get to where you’re going in the 2018 Tundra.
Without a doubt, the 2018 Tundra leaves the competition in the dust. From the powerful performance, exceptional technology features, and providing the utmost safety for you and your passengers, there’s a Tundra trim that fits your lifestyle.
