2022 Ram 1500 vs 2022 Toyota Tundra: Who Comes Out on Top?

With many great pickups out on the Mitchell, MD, market, we do not blame you for hesitating between the 2022 Ram 1500 and 2022 Toyota Tundra. While both offer drivers plenty of what they want in a truck, we still recommend you bring home the 2022 Ram 1500. Read on to find out how the Ram is the better choice.

Engine & Performance

2022 Ram 1500: What can we say about the 2022 Ram 1500’s performance? For one, it doesn’t skimp out on power or comfort. The base engine is the 305-horsepower V6 with the eTorque mild-hybrid system attached. That’s just the starting point. The highest available engine is the 702-horsepower supercharged V8 from the TRX model. You can expect to reach 60 mph within 4.5 seconds with this beauty. Handling and comfort are superb, thanks largely to the suspension system. And when properly equipped, the Ram 1500 can tow up to 12,750 pounds and haul 2,300 pounds.

2022 Toyota Tundra: So, how does the 2022 Toyota Tundra compare? As this truck was fully redesigned for the new year, you can expect to find lively engines and good performance. However, that lively performance does not match what the Ram 1500 offers. There are only two powertrains available, the best of which is the 437-horsepower hybrid powertrain, which pairs the twin-turbocharged V6 with an electric motor. That is significantly lower available horsepower. Towing and hauling capabilities fall behind, only maxing out at 12,000 pounds and 1,940 pounds.

Interior & Comfort

2022 Ram 1500: One of the things that have often stood out about Ram trucks is the interior. The 2022 Ram 1500 once again features a stellar interior that easily outmatches the rest of the competition. In fact, you may not believe you are riding a truly capable truck at first. The cabin is brimming with plenty of premium materials, and the overall design is truly excellent. There is plenty of space for passengers and cargo. There’s no other way to say this: you will love riding in the 2022 Ram 1500.

2022 Toyota Tundra: And there is no easy way to say this: the 2022 Toyota Tundra cannot match the interior quality of the Ram 1500. That is not to say the Tundra doesn’t offer a nice cabin; many folks will certainly enjoy riding in the Tundra. However, the Tundra simply doesn’t match what’s offered in the Ram 1500.

Tech & Safety

2022 Ram 1500: The 2022 Ram 1500 offers the Uconnect infotainment system, which features a responsive touch screen and easy-to-navigate menu layouts. You can customize the display layout, allowing you to add your personal touch. Plus, there are 13 available safety technologies, allowing for greater peace of mind while you are on the road.

2022 Toyota Tundra: The 2022 Toyota Tundra provides drivers with an infotainment system that is also very intuitive. The menus are easy to search through, and the touch screens are very responsive. One thing that Tundra has that the Ram 1500 doesn’t is voice commands. By saying “Hey, Toyota,” drivers can adjust the temperature, input navigation, and more. The Tundra also provides eight more standard safety technologies, though nine fewer advanced driver assistance features are available. Drivers will be satisfied with the Tundra’s technology.
