Compare 2023 Toyota Tundra vs 2023 Ram 1500
2023 Toyota Tundra Overview
The 2023 Toyota Tundra is now available at Yokem Toyota, and we encourage drivers to compare it to the domestic options, which we think provide less value for your truck-buying dollar. In order to help you do that, we’ll compare the 2023 Toyota Tundra vs 2023 Ram 1500 and point out what we believe sets the Tundra apart. The Tundra is currently in its third generation—which was introduced last model year—and available in seven trim levels: SR, SR5, Limited, Platinum, 1794 Edition, TRD Pro and Capstone. The Ram 1500 is currently in its fifth generation, which was introduced for the 2019 model, and available is six core trim levels: Tradesman, Big Horn, Rebel, Laramie, Longhorn and Limited.

The 2023 Toyota Tundra and 2023 Ram 1500 are similar in that they both give you the option of either an extended cab or a crew cab. All cabs have four doors, but the extended cabs have smaller rear doors. One way that Toyota distinguishes the Tundra is the bed options: 5.5 feet, 6.5 feet and 8.1 feet. The long bed is available with the extended cab. The short bed is available with the crew cab, and the standard bed can be had with either cab. Ram does not offer as many options for the 2023 Ram 1500. Its extended cab comes with a 6.3-foot bed, and its crew cab gives you the choice of that bed or a bed that measures about 5.6 feet.

Seating is another way that Toyota distinguishes itself in this 2023 Toyota Tundra vs 2023 Ram 1500 comparison. Toyota includes front bucket seats with all trim levels, including the base. Ram does not. Only the upper trim levels include front bucket seats. Many come with a bench seat. You have to select the bucket seats as an option, and in some cases, you don’t even have the option. The differences in cabin materials are notable as well. Ram certainly use premium cabin materials for the upper 2023 Ram 1500 trim levels, but Toyota uses them even for its base work truck. We also like that the base Tundra has an 8-inch touch screen whereas the Tradesman has a 5-inch screen that seems a generation old.
Toyota Tundra Mechanical specs
Some pickup truck enthusiasts have the perception that the domestic pickups are more capable. This isn’t the reality, however. What is true is that Toyota does not chase best-in-class accolades and rather seeks to be balanced in all areas, but the 2023 Toyota Tundra available through Yokem Toyota can tow as much as 12,000 pounds, and it can have a maximum payload rating of almost 2,000 pounds. The Tundra engine is the superior choice as well. Ram offers a standard V6—305 horsepower and 269 pound-feet of torque—and an optional V8: 395 hp and 410 lb.-ft. The Tundra V6 is quite impressive. In its default configuration, it makes 389 hp and 479 lb.-ft., and in the hybrid configuration included with the Capstone and available with the Limited and up, it makes 437 hp and 583 lb.-ft.
Safety – 2023 Toyota Tundra dealer
All Tundra models come standard with a rearview camera system, adaptive cruise control, automatic lane centering and forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking. The 2023 Ram 1500 includes the rearview camera system, which is now required by law, and nothing else. Step up one trim level with the Tundra to get blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert. You have to move up several trim levels with the Ram to get automatic emergency braking, and a blind-spot monitor is not included until the top trim level. You can select these features as options, but doing so increases the price of the Ram by a significant amount.
