Posted on June 15, 2022

The 2022 Toyota Tundra is capable of hauling, towing, and going down less-travelled roads using advanced technologies that enhance the driving experience. It's an all-terrain vehicle with a rugged exterior and a premium interior.

Whether you're at work, at play, or travelling on an adventurous journey, the 2022 Ram 1500 is ready to dominate the scene.

Let's have a look at how these two models compare:

Performance

With a 10-speed transmission, the 2022 Tundra is equipped with a powerful and luxurious twin-turbo V-6 engine. You can choose between three different powertrains. According to its specifications, the non-hybrid engine produces 348 horsepower and 405 pounds-feet of torque on models with the base SR trim.

The Ram 1500 offers both V-6 and V-8 gasoline engines with a wide range of trim levels paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. A hybrid system with 48 volts assists performance in both engines, although the Hemi V-8 5.7-litre is also available without electrical aid.

Payload and Towing Capacity

With a towing capacity of 12,750 pounds, the Ram 1500 can carry 2,320 pounds of payload. Besides the Ford F-150, which has a towing capacity that exceeds 13,500 pounds, it has the best towing capacity in its class. 

The Tundra can tow a maximum of 12,000 pounds and is capable of hauling a maximum payload of about 1,942 pounds.

Fuel Economy

Fuel economy is varied among the Ram 1500 lineup, which features hybridised V-6, V-8, and diesel engines. The V-6 version of the Ram 1500 can get up to 8.5 km/L in the city and 11.1 km/L on the highway. The V-8 can achieve 7.23 km/L in the city and 9.8 km/L on the highway. Rams equipped with diesel engines are expected to get up to 9.4 km/L in the city and 13.6 km/L on the highway. All-wheel-drive models will get slightly less.

Non-hybrid Tundras get up to 8.5 km/L in the city and 10.2 km/L on the highway with two-wheel drive. When equipped with all-wheel drive, the figures decrease by 0.43 km//L each.

Connectivity and Entertainment

The Ram trucks have long been some of the best in the class regarding infotainment and connectivity. Except for the base Ram model, all the trucks feature an 8.4-inch touchscreen. A 12.0-inch touchscreen is also available.

Except for the Nissan Titan, nearly all full-size pickup trucks are now equipped with giant touch screens that measure at least 12 inches. Tundra trucks come standard with an 8.0-inch touchscreen, but a large 14.0-inch touchscreen is available as an optional upgrade. It also includes built-in Apple CarPlay compatibility and Android Auto functionality.
