Value is at the heart of this 2016 Toyota Tundra vs 2016 Chevy Silverado 1500 comparison as we explore standard elements for each edition.

Price is undoubtedly a factor in any car-buying decision and Toyota Tundra models will promise more bang for your buck in comparison to the Chevy Silverado, especially when you consider upper trim levels.

Stock Toyota Tundra trims will appeal to drivers who love the explosive burst of a V-8 engine. Under the hood of standard Toyota Tundra models, you will discover a 4.6-liter V-8 engine mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. Together these elements shell out a jaw-dropping 310 horsepower and 327 pound-feet of torque. Standard Chevy Silverado models counter with a 4.3-liter V-6 that makes a lackluster 285 horsepower and 305 pound-feet of torque. When you upgrade to the Toyota Tundra 5.7-liter V-8, only the Chevy Silverado 6.2-liter V-8 can compete.

While many truck brands offer an off-road package, seldom do you see a brand dedicate a trim level to mud-slingin’ thrills. When you get behind the wheel of the Tundra TRD Pro, you will have state-of-the-art off-road features at your disposal to include Bilstein high-performance shocks, 18-inch wheels with off-road tires, a dual exhaust system and 4WDemand part-time four-wheel drive. Chevy Silverado editions can add the Z71 package, which seems to put focus on appearance, rather than substance. Stop in today at J. Pauley Toyota to get behind the wheel of the 2016 Toyota Tundra.
