Pine Belt Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram
If you’re looking at large pickup trucks, you have some great options. The 2025 Ram 1500 and 2025 Toyota Tundra are both solid choices. Let’s examine the features of both to figure out which one comes out on top.
VS.
The 1500 comes in ten configurations, ranging from the wallet-friendly Tradesman model to the fully-equipped Tungsten. The Tundra comes in ten trim levels, from the budget-conscious SR to the high-end Capstone. We’ll find most of what these vehicles have to offer not too far from the base configuration, so let’s examine the standard features of the 2025 Ram 1500 Big Horn Crew Cab 4WD vs. the 2025 Toyota Tundra SR5 CrewMax 4WD.
The 1500 comes with a powerful 3.6L V6 engine, delivering 305 hp @ 6,400 rpm and 269 lb-ft torque @ 4,800 rpm. An 8-speed shiftable automatic transmission with four wheel drive gives you responsive performance with intuitive handling and control. With an estimated fuel economy of 19 MPG city / 25 MPG highway, the 1500 provides exceptional performance with nimble handling and good fuel efficiency.
The Tundra has a 3.4L twin turbo V6 engine under the hood for 389 hp @ 5,200 rpm and 479 lb-ft torque @ 2,400 rpm. Featuring a 10-speed shiftable automatic transmission with four wheel drive and an estimated 17 MPG city / 23 MPG highway, the Tundra is also a respectable option.
On the whole, both the 1500 and Tundra are more than serviceable performers in most circumstances.
The Ram 1500 has an impressive set of safety features. Standard driver-assistance or safety features include electronic stability control with anti-rollover, blind spot detection, predictive brake assist, and more.
The Toyota Tundra is no slouch either when considering safety. The Tundra has a driver assist package that includes a pre-collision system with pedestrian detection, lane departure alert, dynamic radar cruise control and more.
If you like a comfortable interior that is well-equipped but not distracting, you’ll probably like the 1500. Inside you’ll find seating for 6 with adjustable front seats and a rear 60/40 folding seat. Generous upgrade packages are available as well for added comfort and tech. The infotainment system features 6-speaker audio, wireless phone connectivity, and all the basics you’ve come to expect. Trucks you find at Pine Belt will often come with an upgrade package featuring Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, voice command, and too many amenities to list here.
Most drivers won’t be disappointed by the Tundra’s interior. With seating for 5 and several upgrade packages available for added features, the cabin is both comfortable and functional. 9-speaker audio, Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™ and more add up to a respectable infotainment setup.
Ram is acclaimed for capable, comfortable trucks that provide a great experience on and off the job site. The 2025 1500 upholds the reputation. The 2025 Toyota Tundra is also a solid pick. Both are excellent, but in our opinion, the Ram 1500 wins this matchup.
