Reliability

Before we can begin talking about reliability, we need to talk about scheduled maintenance. The best way to make sure that your nee vehicle maintains its dependability is to keep up on regular maintenance. While Chevrolet offers no complimentary maintenance plan standard, Toyota will pay for your scheduled maintenance for 2 years or 25,000 miles including oil changes, tire rotation, lubrication and any other recommended scheduled maintenance that your new Tundra requires. This may be one of the reasons that Consumer Reports predicts that the Tundra will be as much as 13% more reliable than the Silverado. In addition, J.D. power and associates also ranks the Tundra significantly higher than the Silverado in initial quality and, in a long-term dependability survey, the Tundra also comes out ahead.

Performance

Not only does a comparable Tundra model outperform a comparable Silverado in terms of speed and acceleration, the Tundra is more fuel efficient according to the EPA. In addition, the Tundra has larger brake rotors than the Silverado and also vented front and rear brakes. These features help the Tundra stop in a shorter distance and have longer lasting brakes than the Silverado. additionally, in various agility tests such as cornering and slalom, the Tundra easily outperformed the Silverado. The Tundra also boasts greater ground clearance and a tighter turning circle versus the Silverado, which means that the Toyota Tundra can go more places, especially off-road, without damaging its chassis.

The Tundra has more powerful engines than the Silverado:

When it comes to payload and cargo capacity, the Tundra easily bests the Silverado with larger cargo box capacity regardless of model and also boasts a much higher standard payload capacity. Haul more and do more when you choose Toyota Tundra over Chevrolet Silverado

Comfort & Interior Design

When it comes to legroom, hip room and shoulder room, the Tundra beats the Silverado at every cab configuration and, for extended comfort, especially on longer drives, the Tundra CrewMax has available rear seats that recline. The Silverado offers no reclining rear seats. Additionally, the Tundra features dual-element sun visors which improve visibility by blocking the sun from multiple angles. The Silverado doesn't offer this feature. The mirrors on the Tundra come standard as remote power mirrors while this feature is merely optional on the Silverado. By the same token, the mirrors on the Tundra are heated as a standard feature. You have to pay extra to have heated mirrors on the Silverado. As far as climate control, Toyota offers dual zone climate control standard in the Tundra, including rear vents in the Double Cab and Crew Cab models. Dual zone climate control is an option, only available on upper trim levels of the Silverado and, even then, rear vents aren't offered.

Economic Advantages

Factoring in things such as the cost of insurance, the cost of scheduled maintenance, resale value and ownership costs such as depreciation, fuel, fees and more, the Toyota Tundra comes out ahead in the sense that it will cost you less to own and operate than the Silverado. These conclusions were drawn utilizing information gleaned from The Car Book by Jack Gillis and estimates by IntelliChoice.
