2018 Ram 3500 vs. 2018 Toyota Tundra

When shopping for your next heavy-duty truck, the reliability and well-established reputation of brands such as Toyota can easily grab the attention of drivers. However, the meticulous craftsmanship and unrelenting reliability of the Ram 3500 offers drivers the power and performance they desire. An understated entry within the pickup truck segment, the 2018 Ram 3500 provides exceptional power and durability in conjunction with advanced and innovative features for the intrepid driver or demanding contractor in the Winston-Salem area.

Power and Performance

The Toyota Tundra comes equipped with a 4.6-liter Aluminum i-FORCE V8 engine that produces 310 horsepower and 327 pound-feet. Conversely, the 2018 Ram 3500's standard 6.4-liter HEMI® V8 exerts Best-in-Class 410 horsepower and 429 pound-feet. Furthermore, while the Toyota Tundra offers an additional two 5.7-liter V8 engines, it does not offer a diesel option, while the Ram 3500 offers a legendary 6.7-liter Cummins turbo diesel inline-six engine that produces a mammoth 930 pound-feet and 385 horsepower, resulting in a Best-in-Class fifth-wheel towing capacity of 30,000 pounds. Between the best-in-class features and available diesel option, the Ram 3500 surpasses the Toyota Tundra with ease.

Interior and Technology

Both vehicles' interiors come incorporated with comfort-enhancing trims and convenience features. However, while the Toyota Tacoma features the Entune™ Audio Plus with Connected Navigation App and accompanying 7-inch touchscreen, the Ram 3500 offers an available 8.4-inch touchscreen and Uconnect® 4C NAV system with SiriusXM Guardian™ in addition to a variety of other technological features for optimal convenience. Additionally, the Laramie Longhorn® trim of the Ram 3500 boasts plush interior styling with real wood accents for enhanced comfort and luxury.

Trim Levels and Pricing

The 2018 Ram 3500 offers six trim levels, ranging in price from $48,845 to $58,995, as opposed to the Toyota Tacoma's five trim levels, ranging from $31,120 to $47,080. While the Toyota Tacoma offers more competitive pricing, their lack of comparable features, less-robust construction, inferior interior comfort, convenience, and technology integration all ultimately offset the savings offered by the vehicle.
