Toyota Tacoma vs Tundra Specs: 

When you compare the 2024 Tundra vs Tacoma or Taco as we like to call it, you’re not just comparing trucks. You’re visualizing how your driving experience can be even better just by owning one. Both of these Clermont Toyota’s have their unique performance features, capabilities, and much more.  Let’s get into the specifics…

   

Performance: The Tacoma has a 6-speed iMT Manual transmission or the 8-speed Automatic transmission depending on which of the eight different unique trims you choose. There’s even your choice of engine options:

•  i-FORCE turbocharged engine giving you 278 hp, 317 lb-ft of torque (automatic transmission Cab only)
•  i-FORCE MAX 2.4L turbocharged engine, 270 hp, 310 lb-ft of torque (manual transmission double cab only) 
• Finally, the hybrid option there is the i-FORCE MAX 2.4L turbocharged engine getting up to 326 hp and 465 lb-ft of torque.

Now let’s get into the Tundra, there’s seven different trim levels! There’s two engine options..

• i-FORCE twin turbo V6 and the i-FORCE MAX twin-turbo V6 hybrid
• The standard V6 gets you 389 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque while the hybrid gets you 437 horsepower with 583 lb-ft so even more horsepower and torque! 

Ok, so you know about the performance but what about the looks and size? This is where the Toyota Tacoma vs Tundra debate begins. 

Size 

When comparing the Toyota Tacoma vs Tundra, you want to look at a few things like the beds and cabs. Although both trucks can seat up to five people there are different options. Whether you’re looking for that midsize pickup like the Tacoma or full-size like the Tundra here’s what you need to know:

• The 2024 Tacoma offers two different cabs, the Double Cab which is four-door, seating three in the rear and two in the front. Your second option is the Xtra Cab, this is a two-door, two-seater with storage right behind the seats. 
• The 2024 Tundra also offers two cab options, the Double cab which seats three passengers in the back and two in the front. The CrewMax Cab has more space in the back and larger doors but still seats two passengers in the front and three in the back. 

Beds 

• The Tundra offers 5.5,6.5 and even 8.1 feet for bed options 
• The Tacoma offers 5 or 6-foot beds! 

So, if it comes down to size you’ll want to go with a Tundra but if you’re in the market for something a bit smaller but still with similar features and capacity you’d want to go for a Tacoma. But if you’re still not convinced about which one is best for you, there’s some special features Clermont of Toyota has to offer to compare the Toyota Tacoma vs Tundra.
