When it comes to pickup trucks, the RAM has long been one of the most dominant, dating back to the now defunct Dodge RAM – a pickup with roots stretching back to 1981. More recently, the Toyota Tundra has made waves, popping up on the Orland Park roads along with the RAM 1500. Despite the rising popularity of the Tundra, many Mokena drivers still prefer the classic RAM. If you’re having difficulty deciding between the two, this article pits the RAM 1500 vs. Tundra, in hopes of making your decision a little easier.

 

 

RAM 1500 vs. Toyota Tundra: Price

If you’re looking to make your purchase as thrifty as possible, price is a major factor in your decision. And with our current economy, who wouldn’t want the most bang for their buck? Luckily, when it comes to the RAM 1500 vs. Toyota Tundra, the RAM has a slight edge on this Toyota pickup truck. After licenses and fees, you’ll save around a thousand dollars by going with the RAM 1500, which doesn’t seem like much – but at the end of the day, you’re still talking about a couple of truck payments.

2024 RAM 1500 vs. 2023 Toyota Tundra: Performance

The RAM 1500 has two different engine options available while the Tundra has one gas-only engine configuration. In order to find a different Tundra engine, you’ll have to switch to the hybrid version instead. The RAM likewise has a hybrid version available but it includes the same size engine as the standard version (3.6L V6). The standard Toyota Tundra sports a 3.4L V6, while the RAM 1500 gives New Lenox drivers a choice between a 3.6L V6 or a muscular 5.7L V8. Either way you slice it, the RAM 1500 outpowers the Toyota Tundra.
