It stands to reason that a bigger truck and bigger engine equates to a higher price in this 2017 Toyota Tundra vs 2017 Toyota Tacoma comparison. With a base MSRP that stands at $30,020, the 2017 Toyota Tundra still stands on the affordable end of the pickup truck spectrum and does it with a laundry list of standard features that includes a Toyota Entune multimedia interface, a 6.1-inch touchscreen and a standard Tow Package.

An all-V-8 engine lineup is a highlight of the 2017 Toyota Tundra design. Standard Toyota Tundra editions are built around a 310-horsepower 4.6-liter iForce V-8 engine married to a six-speed automatic transmission that makes 15 mpg in the city and 19 mpg on the highway. Modest fuel-economy specs are mitigated by an available 38-gallon fuel tank. Drivers who want an upgrade in power can opt for the 381-horsepower 5.7-liter iForce V-8 engine that will tow a massive 10,500 pounds with a standard Triple-Tech frame, an integrated towing hitch, Tow/Haul Mode, an Integrated Trailer Brake Controller and Trailer Sway Control.

A perfect blend of power, functionality and fuel economy, the 2017 Toyota Tacoma is available with four- and six-cylinder engines. Stock Tacoma models feature a 159-horsepower 2.7-liter four-cylinder that makes 19 mpg in the city and 24 mpg on the highway with a six-speed automatic transmission.

When equipped with a V-6 Tow Package, the Toyota Tacoma will tow up to 6,800 pounds.
