Chevy Silverado 1500 vs. Toyota Tundra
Under the hood, you can expect plenty of power and dominance from both lineups. The Toyota Tundra comes standard with the i-FORCE 3.5-liter Twin-Turbo V6, making 348 horsepower and 405 pound-feet of torque. With the Chevy Silverado 1500, you equip a 2.7-liter Turbo High-Output powertrain, outputting 310 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque. The Tundra may hold an edge with horsepower, but you'll get more power to your wheels with the Chevy Silverado 1500. The Chevy pickup offers a Duramax® 3.0-liter Turbo-Diesel engine, capable of 277 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque. The Tundra doesn't offer a diesel engine at this time.
When you need to outmuscle that supply load at work or need an easy time bringing supplies from the hardware store home, either truck can help. The Tundra may seem like a safe bet with 12,000 pounds of maximum towing capacity, but it reaches its limit before the Chevy Silverado 1500 - the latter full-size truck tows up to 13,300 pounds. The Chevy Silverado 1500 can also simplify your towing experience, utilizing 15 unique camera views and a segment-first available Advanced Trailer System, which offers an in-vehicle trailering app with customized trailer profiles. You can't find the same enhancements in the Tundra lineup.
Chevy Silverado 1500 vs. Nissan Titan
Looking under the hood of these two trucks tells you a story about both lineups. The Titan keeps things simple with a 5.6-liter V8 engine, delivering 400 horsepower and 413 pound-feet of torque - the only pickup in its class with standard V8 power like that! Unfortunately, that's the only engine you can use. The Chevy Silverado 1500 offers four engine packages, with the base 2.7-liter Turbo High-Output making 310 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque - already more power to its wheels than the Tundra can match. You can upgrade to the 6.2-liter EcoTec3 V8 and get 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque.
If you're looking to maximize the amount you can tow from the worksite, the Chevy Silverado 1500 is the right truck. The Chevy pickup manages a maximum of 13,300 pounds with the Turbo-Diesel engine. The Nissan Titan's available towing package only handles up to 9,310 pounds - even an upgrade to the Nissan Titan XD only boosts the towing capacity to 11,040 pounds.
If you're looking to fill up the cargo bed, the Chevy Silverado's Durabed configuration offers 89.1 cubic feet of volume, more than any truck in its segment. The available Multi-Flex Tailgate allows you to configure your load experience for an easier experience. While the Nissan Titan offers plenty of innovation, you won't get the same options in its lineup.
