2021 Toyota Tacoma vs. Tundra: What Are the Differences? | Price, Interior, Towing & More 

Nice overview of both! We have a ‘23 Tacoma, but we are looking at moving into the Tundra - specifically for towing. On a recent trip, I was able to get almost 25 miles per gallon simply by keeping it at or just under the speed limit on the highway and using the cruise control. The trip was about three hours so the Tacoma has definitely been great on gas for a truck. I have the SR but four-wheel-drive so that’s pretty decent has mileage. The challenge we have is growing into a larger travel trailer, will require a Tundra kind of strength. That 4,000 ish pound difference matters. And that’s what let me to review, so thanks again!

Tundra crewmax cabin sits 5 adults easily...not sure about the Tacoma though.

this I know 🙄

It can certainly be, but a little unsolicited advice…make sure you do all the computations to account for everything right down to the weight of yourself, passengers and pets…leave room to spare because every item, pc of food, camp gear, chairs, bikes, dishes, etc - all counts. Sadly, dealers (neither RV nor auto) will most likely NOT sit down and figure that all out with you. Def do the research beforehand 🙂. Oh - every trim is different too - some carry more towing ability. And Tacoma does NOT provide trailer brakes standard (my dealer told me to go elsewhere to get it done) but I was told on Tundra, it is standard (as seen here). We also added a weight distribution and anti-sway system even though our current trailer is barely 4000 dry pounds and the manufacturer talks about adding both after 5k. Just to be safe. Lastly, we’ve learned (the hard way - for us) it’s much better to have more truck than we need than not enough. You might be fine local towing or flat landing it but mountains, lots of cross country trips etc…(?) Hope that helps!

lol what are you talking about, my tacoma has a 6.5 FT bed i got the long bed option lol.

@@danielbruno2631 really I didn't know they made long bed tacomas . Must be a single cab right ?

@@culio544 no they make double cab long bed Tacomas

But a Tacoma still retains value better

And who is getting a truck for fast? The Tacoma is the better off-roader. Tundra is the better one to move a family with. Tacoma is for that person that wants a truck that can do what a jeep does and still have a bed and towing capacity.

is no comparison, I own both trucks I love them both the Tacoma is easy for parking on narrow streets, easy to get in and get out, saving on Fuel, but overall I love my Trd pro, it is in a different level, I feel like I’m driving a sport car, The only difference, is that I could go off road, both trucks are great it all depends what are you using the truck for.

My Tesla is way faster than your Tundra 😁

@@Zoran69 and a super sport 6k bike will smoke your Tesla. What’s your point ?

I work at a lumber yard and wear denim. Denim was work wear long before carhartt came on the scene. Also why as a man are you worried about what another man wears

Comment smells like a loserrrrrr
