Tacoma vs Tundra: Engine Performance

Under the hood of both the Toyota Tacoma and Toyota Tundra are wildly powerful engines that provide a serious kick behind each press of the pedal.

The Toyota Tacoma offers two unique engine options. Which one you get depends on the trim and cab configuration you go with. First up is a 2.7L 4-cylinder engine that churns out 159 horsepower and 180 lb-ft of torque. If you need an added boost of power, you can go with the 3.5L V6 engine, which produces up to 278 horsepower and 265 lb-ft of torque.

The Tundra, on the other hand, offers up three engine choices, each with more power than the last. Although they are seemingly similar on the surface, they all feature different specs. Its engines include:

• i-FORCE 3.5L Twin-Turbo V6 engine: 348 horsepower and 405 lb-ft of torque
• i-FORCE 3.5L Twin-Turbo V6 engine: 389 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque
• i-FORCE MAX 3.5L Twin-Turbo V6 Hybrid engine: 437 horsepower and 583 lb-ft of torque

As you can see, the Tundra also offers a hybrid powertrain, while the Toyota Tacoma comes exclusively as a gas-driven truck.

Tacoma vs Tundra: Technology

The MTM is far from the only tech feature that the 2022 Toyota Tacoma and Tundra share. In fact, much of their multimedia and infotainment systems are strikingly similar.

One noticeable difference is the center console size. While the Toyota Tacoma offers either a 7- or 8-inch center touchscreen, the Tundra makes it easier to see and access your infotainment features with either an 8- or 14-inch touchscreen. However, the systems you’ll be able to access are similar in each truck, including:

• Apple CarPlay® smartphone integration
• Android Auto™ smartphone integration
• SiriusXM® Satellite Radio
• Wi-Fi Connect

Both the Tacoma and Tundra even feature available Qi-compatible wireless charging, so you can always keep your devices fully charged no matter how far your adventure takes you.
