[@Challenger-pe3tr]

I can't count how many times we've had to take our Tundra in for maintenance... oh wait, we never have 😆

[@8__D]

You ought to maintain your vehicle lol.

[@Dano-MX5]

A friend of mine owns a business that utilizes 6-8 pickup trucks any given year. He started out years ago with Silverados, switched to F150s ten years ago. He stated that with both there always seemed to be one in the shop for unscheduled repairs. For the last 4 years he has owned nothing but Tundras and said it was the best business decision he has made in a long time. His 2 2012s have over 150,000 miles each and all he had done to them was scheduled maintenance, brakes and tires. His other 4 newer Tundras are proving to be just as reliable. They have all shared in hauling around 10,000 lb. backhoes/front loaders. He has said he will never go back to Chevy or Ford. His testimony is why I drive a Tundra. 80,000 miles on my pre-owned 2010 and she rides and drives like a new one. Love it!

[@electropentatonic]

The hardest thing about running Toyotas for work is their resale value. Its hard to buy them even used when I can pick up a newer basic f150 work body with low miles around 12-15k and they're everywhere. I've always had Toyotas for my family vehicles and f250's for work.

[@MrBlazzin101]

True that I just bought a 2016 certified pre owned 36 thousand miles. Very happy with my decision.

[@elkillerx]

I don’t know man at my work we use Silverado diesels that tow trailers over 17,000lbs on long distances almost every other day. We have three trucks pushing over 300,000 miles and they run great.

[@jamesavery6671]

My uncle who was head of an army testing site said special forces wanted an more incognito transport over in the middle east. He said Dodge, ford and Toyota competed in a 30,000 mile test in harsh conditions. He said the Toyota won hands down. A bit dis hearting for me a bit as I like domestics lol but I respect his opinion or fact I guess. I just think Toyota's are ugly as sin haha. The chevy engines and transmissions are not bad though

[@commonsenserulesall9500]

@@elkillerx that is a diesel compared to a gas, not even a fair comparison. I have a 2018 silverado and I thought it rode great but now after 10k miles I am sick of the v4/v8 shifting. It is not smooth and sometimes it will either not shift from v4 or downshift from v8. I only bought it because I got 13k off on it and my local toyota dealer wouldnt give me near what my 15 sierra was worth (they were 5k less than what I got). For the last 3 months I have been waiting for a toyota crew max to come on the lot used for the price I want and finally think I found one so we will see how it goes.

[@crisr1866]

Went from a 2012 Silverado to a 2017 Tundra. I decided to give the tundra a try and I might never switch again. I love my tundra!

[@suhailinayatulla652]

More reliable as well!

[@rockdog3672]

Me too!Great all around

[@38alloy]

Durability , reliability and resale value, last but not least made in San Antonio .TX

[@donaldcochran4999]

My dad is a car dealer and I've driven every single truck out there at multiple auctions and dealerships for the past 4 years. This year I tried a Tundra(after watching the million mile Tundra video)for the first time just to see if it was any good. I ended up buying it the next day... the build quality is far better than any other truck out there in terms of typical daily driving. Toyota for the moment is really on point right now for there trucks.

[@josels1292]

Never knew car dealers could have kids.

[@johngable9881]

I own a 2008 Toyota Tundra limited crew max truck that has 248k miles on it. It has the original motor, transmission, and rear end and it doesn’t leak a drop of oil. I live in Las Vegas which is the most brutal climate for any vehicle in the summer. I’ve owned Ford, Chevy, and Dodge trucks before I owned a Tundra. Guys it’s not even close when it comes to quality and reliability. Any Ford, Chevy, and Dodge is ready for the junkyard by 150k miles.

[@MrRedskins0021]

I have owned both trucks and I still have the Tundra. 2010 Silverado drove great, but it wasn't reliable. I had to take it in too many times to fix stuff. Got myself a Tundra and 80k miles later, I have yet to have a single problem.

[@rumerboyz]

what year is your tundra? I have a 14 Tundra crew max trd

[@MrRedskins0021]

rumerboyz 2012. I'm about to finish paying for it!! 2014 looks better.

[@rumerboyz]

+MrRedskins0021 that's awesome!

[@djqx]

Must agree!!! I love my 2014 tundra. Absolutely no issues but man the mpg hurts.

[@MrRedskins0021]

djqx should be the last thing in your mind when buying a truck. Reliability should be on your mind.

[@MichaelBasedow]

Great review on truck off road driving. You helped me select the 2017 Toyota Tundra TRD for all the right reasons.

[@franciscomarquez8]

This guy has the calmest voice I've ever heard lol

[@franciscomarquez8]

And wow the silverado isn't even a 5.3 Vortec :/

[@Fisherman99]

+Francisco Marquez the silverado was a 5.3

[@mattcory1335]

I've had 5 Tundra's one of the many things I love about them is how high the sit up from the factory...I can put on a 3/1 level and fit 35's.

[@SimplePleasuresMTB]

I just got a 16 TRD Crewmax 5.7. what level kit did you go with?

[@lokkstarproductions6918]

3” front is too high in the front. Most trucks can only do 2.5 and 1. Tundra sits lower than Ram and Ford. They are 1” higher than Silverado and that’s because the Silverado squats.

[@slowsleeper550]

Finally an unbiased review! Subscribed since your channel is probably the only one that offers unbiased test driven reviews, facts/opinions, and valid points of emphasis. Keep up the great work.

[@bulldogpropaganda5621]

I have the same silverado 16' z71 crew 4x4. Currently 29k miles. What a pos. i want to love the truck. The looks, the ride, comfort. Been in the shop 3 times. Vacuum pump. Brake booster. Master cylinder. rough idle. Sounds like a bad lifter every-time I start it till it warms up. Go Toyota!!

[@georgiafan6618]

I've owned both Ford and Chevy pickups. One of my Chevy's was a Duramax that I sorely miss. I liked both makes until I drove a Tundra. Despite both GM and Ford having a fully boxed frame, and the Ford being all-aluminum bodied, they tend to ride skittishly over bumps. They're less isolated and they don't turn in as well as the Tundra. My Tundra rides pretty good and handles very well. The Tundra's steering is quick and accurate. The Chevy has a powerful 6.2L option but it's expensive. If I were to get the Ford, It'd be with the ecoboost. The Ford F-150's interior is well laid out and their F-250 is about to debut with an aluminum body. I think all the modern pickups today are pretty darn amazing.There really isn't a bad truck out there. I just prefer my Tundra - for now!

[@recoveringnewyorker2243]

How ironic. The Silverado is made in Mexico while the Tundra is made in USA (Texas)

[@MarquosXoloVanda]

Shepperd November its also made in the USA

[@recoveringnewyorker2243]

Marq Vince All the 1's I've seen engines and transmissions are U.S. and the truck is Mexico.

[@MarquosXoloVanda]

Shepperd November assembly lines in Michigan and Indiana with parts from USA

[@recoveringnewyorker2243]

Marq Vince You might be correct.

[@tylerrosborough5083]

crew cab is Mexican, double is American

[@Aznjordan1]

Good review n it’s one reason why I love my Tundra even more. Toyota 4 Lyfe.

[@erikstephens34]

Good review. One thing you failed to mention is that the Silverado LTZ Z71 can be had with a more powerful 6.2L V8 that still yields better fuel economy than the Tundra's 5.7L V8. Also of note the Silverado has the Z71 package available on the lower priced LT trim which brings the price down to $45K before incentives (crew cab version).

[@TestDrivenTV]

We test them as we get them.

[@erikstephens34]

TestDrivenTV Understood. Simply surprised it wasn't mentioned.

[@teamvpneon]

I always wonder this. All the Z71's around here all have 6.2's. All the lower models have the 5.3.

[@raczekgt2011]

+Leo Torres another toyota crap guy. TOYOTA TUNDRA TRD PRO DOES NOT, AND I REPEAT DOES NOT HAVE A SUPERCHARGER UNLESS YOU INSTALL ONE, OR HAVE TOYOTA INSTALL IT FOR YOU. and don't compare toyota trucks to anything else, maybe Mitsubishi, Honda lol. and even then with the supercharger it still has a lower performance and even worse fuel economy. and what did toyota do to fix the range issue? lol they installed 38 gallon tank. lol JOKE. I HAVE THE 2014 SILVERADO 1500 5.3L AND IT HAS 26 GAL TANK. average 18 city 23 highway at 65-75mph on regular fuel... Bottom line you can't compare oranges to apples

[@essammgahed3885]

Thanks for comparing trucks while there is an electric car in your profile pic genius. Why don't you go buy a silverado and put it in your profile picture then maybe someone will listen to you.

[@ryanburton8048]

lol people and their mpg no one buys a fucking truck for its gas mileage

[@MechRider89]

I know right! its the people that buy truck's because they need to be cool to go to the office.

[@daredevil9745]

Thank you...plus people that look into the mpg cause they just want to drive a truck and save gas but people that use trucks the way trucks should be used then we don't care for mpg we want power and all terrain abilities

[@halimspahi168]

+MechRider89 agreed

[@gregparrott]

+Ryan Burton Don't care about gas mileage? Really? I own both a '69 and '97 Chevy, both with 350 engines. The '69 with a carbureted engine, and only a 3 speed automatic and stock 4.11 gears gets 10mpg. The '97 gets 16mpg yet has more horsepower, a greater tow capacity and A/C. On a recent trip, I drove nearly 2000 miles. Say gas costs $2.50/gallon. At 10mpg, that trip would have cost $500 instead it cost $312, a $188 savings in a single trip. The latest trucks with 8 speed trannys and LS series motors can approach 20mpg, which could have saved me yet another $62. Just extrapolate that over, say, 100,000 miles of driving while also considering that gas prices will not stay this cheap and could rise sharply at any time.

[@MontyPiper]

Exactly! I use my truck, with it's bad gas mileage, to tow my boat, which gets worse gas mileage.. if I was concerned about gas mileage I wouldn't own either one.

[@jayminer9416]

I've got an 08 Tundra w/66k on it. I treat it how I treated all my other vehicles.....regular maintenance, tow/haul frequently, the occasional heavy foot, and I'm averaging 14-15mpg. I didnt buy it for mpg though. I've owned more than a handful of pickups in my 20yrs of driving and I have to admit...NONE have felt as tight and well made as the Tundra. That includes 2 Silverado's, 3 F150's, a Ram, and a few midsize mistakes. I cant really think of anything I dislike about it honestly...other than the mileage. On a trip to NC from Upstate NY I averaged 19mpg which was nice....but rare. As for the "move to Japan" comments.....honestly guy? Is ANYTHING in your house TRULY made in America? I highly doubt it. I hope you realize Chevy/GMC are the LEAST AMERICAN MADE TRUCKS on the market.....F-150 comes in first with Tundra a close 2nd.....do some research before you run your mouth.

[@grahamcouture6786]

Jay Miner should I even mention that Ram is owned by an Italian company? It is not entirely American either.

[@lewisneely6637]

First, I am a Toyota fan for years. My wife wrecked her 4 runner and she wanted a GMC Sierra. It is a good truck so far, but this video is accurate. The GMC is very stiff riding, my 2006 Tundra has a softer ride and more pleasureable to drive. My next truck will be a Tundra TRD sport.

[@lylemsharp]

Test drove 24 trucks and SUVs in 2015. Hated the Tundra front end, just felt like it would hit a bump and toss a wheel one day. Bought a 2015 Silverado 1500 5.3 liter assembled in Mexico. Guess what. 66,000 miles and zero issues with an 18 Mpg combined history. Moderate use for towing, hauling tree debris, moving furniture, and a daily 105 mile commute. If I could keep the paint flawless, I would be ecstatic, but alas, tree limb scratches, rock haulers and door collisions with gas station architectural oddities happen. As it stands, I'm very happy and may move up to a heavier towing class so I can get the big toy hauler I want. As the market looks today, that will likely still be a Chevrolet product as a best bang for the buck option.

[@Cardude182]

You did a great review on these trucks, no bashing on one another just straight up facts on how each one has their own positives. You didn't make one truck out to be better than the other which is hard to find in reviews now days. This review was refreshing to see because their was no bias to either truck. This is my first time seeing a video from this channel and y'all can bet ill be watching your videos from now on! Of course this being youtube I gotta give some criticism, just offer some more facts on the trucks like Toyota which has dual variable valve timing and 32 valves while Chevy its worth mentioning how it has electronic power steering which is why the steering felt so light. But thats alright if its not mentioned because you can't give everyone what they want, but you give them what they need and again thats an unbiased truck review. I watch TFL Truck and they knock on the Tundra all the time just because the 5.7 has been out since 2007 even though its still one more powerful truck engines you can buy and they say its old for some unknown reason. Keep up the great work TestdrivenTV and kudos to the reviewer in this video!!

[@pv2xeek]

I don't understand why people claim the 5.7 is an "old" engine. GM is still using pushrods for christ's sake.

[@edwardeagle9157]

Sorry guys... but Tundra rock and always Toyota ... awesome Truck, ! Sorry Dodge for this time!

Toyota is the better investment. Designed by Japanese and American engineers. My family has owned American cars and trucks, all started falling apart after a few years. I own a 2016 Toyota and everyday it gives me piece of mind that it will never give me problems. Toyota all the way.

[@bryanrodewald4330]

An unbiased review ! nice to see. only 3 mpg difference between the two trucks just as ive been telling people .. but way more power out of the tundra.. and going to be superior reliability . and the tundra is cheaper.

[@TheTxiong71]

What's with the comments on "why didn't you use a 6.2L Chevy?". I guess you can't fix stupid. If this was an acceleration test, than yes your question is valid. However, this guy simply tested ride quality.

[@OGkush69x]

Finally a reviewer that hits the points im actually thinking about and want to know.

[@toyotatech2jz814]

Great review I've worked on many makes and models and by far Toyota will always win in reliability hands down. If Toyota was to finally be able to start a diesel line they would win in that category as well.

[@dallasfortworthfoundationr8215]

I have a 2010 Tundra Crewmax with 200k. Runs strong, great condition. Drove new GMC, Chevy and Dodge and the one think they have in common, squeals and rattles on brand new trucks. That's why I'm in a new Tundra Platinum.

[@Melkbone]

well i still drive my 2007 crew max limited tundra suppercharged Magnum 780 HP 20" rims 37 inch tires 7 inch lift kit and custom trim with 486.000 km on board and never was in service with it just oil change and tire replacement , i do off road every couple days and highways i m scared to do over 185 km /hr not because the truck cant do it more , but this truck never let me down i don't like the gas she's drinking she drink alot , but if you want a smooth truck and power enough for everything tundra is for you , i do drive other trucks at work ( gm 2500 and ford 350 ) but you don't feel like you are in the right way when it comes with extreme stuff... i stick with tundra

[@EchoNine3]

I am debating on a used Tundra or a Sierra. I go to the mountains be in New Mexico alot to hunt and my 04 Silverado could handle everything with a 6” lift and 35's. How does the Tundra do? Do you do any mountain trails?

[@himois14]

+Vincent Torrefranca oh I know that but the profits are still sent to Japan

[@mmholling87]

You obviously don't understand how modern companies operate. Toyota of North America is a separate company that's owned by the Japanese based Toyota. Both have their own CEO's, budgets etc. Most of the profits from American sales stay in America. I work for an American Helicopter company and all of our commercial helicopters are made in Canada. They are two separate companies under the same brand and ownership.

[@TestDrivenTV]

But the amount of money that is created here in the states and that stays here in the states as a result of all the workers at Toyota NNA who get paid and spend their money at local businesses, the same at their several stateside suppliers, the tax base and job bases created make the end profit claimed to be mailed to Japan a pittance in the big picture. It's and old resentment and argument that is long dead with globalization that "they send their profits home blah blah blah"

[@kevinguevara7750]

pretty stupid when people make remarks like "the tundra is last in its class" when they barely made a full size pick-up in 2007 offering the 5.7. While all these other companies (big 3) have been making full size pick-ups for decades.

[@SingerAuto1967]

I have had a 2014 tundra for the last year, put right at 50,000 miles and a lot of that was towing a 18’ car trailer with a 67 Impala on it. Never had a problem. The interior leaves a lot to be desired. I just bought a 2015 Z71 LTZ today to see how I feel about it Vs the tundra. Not ready to sell the tundra yet but the Silverado is a lot nicer on the inside and so many more features.

[@grahamcouture6786]

I'd take the Tundra over the Silverado any day.

[@sigbn]

I had a 1999 Silverado with almost 190k, it was a good truck solid engine,. However, it's the little things that kill you on repair, the overall integrity and fit and finish was always an issue. The frame cracked and I had it welded. The truck is still on the road. I now have 2006 3/4 Duramax for the hauling and towing power. I WISH Tundra can make in a 3/4 truck in gas or diesel. I know Toyota makes diesels in the Land Cruiser not the US version, they have the technology. Maybe my next Truck will be a Tundra if I get tired of GM quality control weakness, do love the Duramax power though.

[@daredevil9745]

Had to subscribe I love the way he compares the trucks and don't try to just beat one down and make the other one sound like the king of the road... Will keep watching your videos. #teamtoyota cause of durability nothing against Chevy just love reliability cause I like to be as much worry free as I can

[@somedude0505]

WOW... Completely the opposite of what i though of both trucks. I test drove both many times before deciding. After driving both on the same day, for me the choice was easy and bought the GMC Sierra Z71, basicaly the same as the silverado. The sierra felt smoother and more powerfull than the tundra, at least for me. the quality of the interior in my opinion is way better on the Sierra. I did not buy a truck thinking of MPG but is defenetly a plus.

[@666dynomax]

Fabian if you did you would have got the ford. i hace both and the tundra is running about the same in city as the gmc.

[@victoraleman7042]

Well I have a Sierra myself and today I went a test a tundra platinum...ride is stiff, interior is also plain, and on the outside let say, it is not the pretiest truck out there...went to see it because toyota has a reputation on durability, but it just felt like a step down from my Sierra....guess I’ll buy another Sierra after all

[@jamesavery6671]

The review did seem a bit bias

[@TheArthrighteous]

Don’t know why everyone is ragging on Chevys. I have had 2 Vortec engines. One was put through hell and still cranked and worked fine the day I traded it in. And my 2011 is doing just fine pushing close to 100k averaging 18mpg. I put the highest quality oil, in it, and I put an after market air intake and I have no complaints. I have another 5.3l that is going in a k5.

[@brogers114able]

good review. tire and wheel size makes a difference for sure once you get off the pavement. I bought my Sierra 1500 new in 2010. I still enjoy driving it. Planning to keep it another 5 years

[@rpa76]

I just traded my 1794 Tundra for a 2016 High Country Silverado. After being a life-long Toyota lover, the inevitable finally happened. Toyota has gotten so big that they just don't care about quality like they used to. They really used to stand behind their products. After 2 years of owning the Tundra and dealing with plumes of oil smoke at start-up, massively annoying interior rattles, and abysmal gas mileage, I had just had enough. The truck costed too much money to have those issues. Toyota did not care about these issues, and only made half hearted attempts at addressing them. I took it to 3 different dealerships, and they were all the same. "We can't duplicate the problem." The Silverado is built better. The ride is better. The interior is more quiet and it gets MUCH better gas mileage. Granted I've only owned the chevy for 3 months, but I do not miss the Tundra at all. The Tundra did have a lot more grunt and power, but that's expected with a 4.30 rear end versus a 3.42. The Tundra, like most Toyota's is painfully out-of-date. They need significant updates to their drivetrain, and a total redesign in the looks dept. I will say that if you plan to tow heavy a lot, and you don't mind filling up that tiny tank and a pretty regular basis, then Tundra is probably a better choice. If you want a capable truck that is way more refined and more practical to own, the Silverado is a better choice.

[@caceresjuan54]

man you are really unlucky as shit.... we have 2 tundras nothing gone bad from what we can see or hear, just bad luck for you I guess

[@rpa76]

+juan cacer Probably so, but after having those issues, plus the leather seats coming apart, and Toyota being unsupportive, I definitely wasn't going to turn around and do it over again. Plus, I'm sure I would have eventually got the cam tower leak as well. It just wasn't what I've come to expect from Toyota.

[@caceresjuan54]

+Ryan Art yea some just unlucky and get a bad truck it happens

[@patrickreach4734]

I'm a big GMC/Chevy fan, i have a 2005 GMC sierra 2500 HD diesel that i love to death and has given me 4+ years of offroad work truck duty with the only negatives being a blown transfer case. I really really wanted to get the 2015+ GMC/Chevy 2500hd in diesel for my new truck, however at 65k for my SLT/LTZ diesel the price was just too high. I ended up with a 2016 tundra sr5 trd for around 42k before taxes. I kind of felt like i cheated myself from what i really wanted, but this Tundra has been pretty damn impressive. 25% of my driving is offroad, on similar dirt/gravel washboard roads, and the Tundra eats up these roads for dinner! Reminds me of my wifes 2012 4runner suspension wise, but with a much bigger punch from the engine. The Tundra is super reliable offroad, a confident ride for sure. Im averaging 15mpg from a mix of offroad, city and highway driving. Its a very smooth ride and even the base sr5 interior is very nice, with leather trim door panels, etc. So far i have to say that i am liking this Tundra, its a truck i dont feel bad about putting a beating on. If i had a 65k sierra, i would feel a little bad lol. This review makes me feel better about my choice, since so much of my driving is offroad, im glad i skipped the gmc/chevy. You can hear the loud rattling from this video. Maybe the 2500 will have a better suspension, but other videos of the Denali still show some stiffness and rattling. Also i agree about the 5.3 lacking power, as i rented a 2014 silverado 1500 for a week and it was the most underpowered POS truck ive driven. id rather go with a Ram than a 1500 chevy. Still, my heart still aches for a 2500 diesel with the allison transmission. Maybe il put 30-40k on this tundra and sell it for 30k next year. the residual values on the tundra kick ass, i see trucks like mine that are 2 years old and with 50k miles still selling for 30+, so im confident i am losing less money overall. My only complaints with the Tundra are that its screen is positioned too "flat" on the dash. It is often hard to see in glaring sunlight. I cant say that im the biggest fan of the oversized chrome grill, i think its a little too big and wish the headlights were just a tad bit bigger, but thats just a cosmetic look. Other stuff i love about the sr5 trd, it comes with a TON of hidden storage in the backseats and under the middle seat. The interior is very very nice, i almost feel like im driving a luxury car. It feels very solid like the reviewer said, the engine is very smooth and refined which makes sense because its the same one in the landcruiser and lexus lx570. Got about 4k miles on her and love it so far. We shall see in the next few years if the Tundra is enough to keep me from eventually trading it in for a diesel. I figure in 2 years i will either get another Tundra TRD with diesel, or go to a 2500 Ram or Sierra. I still kept my GMC diesel, so now i have two trucks!

[@mariojalata]

I drive both and I found the Tundra has a smaller turning radius, better accelerations, and drives more stable on washboard roads and no roads and Highways. However, The fuel economy is 15mpg combined vs 16mpg for the Chevy. The Chevy also has a longer bed and a locking differential. Although I never got stuck in neither truck. The tundra at 50k mile got no problem. The chevy got a tire sensor issue at 40k miles. Both are ok vehicles.

[@AndrewBullard9170]

Why did the tundra get rid of the pilar handle on the drivers side? but the old tundra's from the 2000's had a handle

Great review, but here's a few things to note for next time: (1) The Silverado can be had with proper off-road tires and 18'' rims. (2) You forgot to take the air dam off (if you're going to buy one throw that piece of garbage away). That's why you kept hearing that horrid noise off road. Your angle of approach was several inches, if not half a foot less. (3) Compare the Z71 with the 6.2 L (which amazingly has nearly the same mileage). You'll have very different results off and on road. Would love to see how the Tundra TRD compares with that specific setup.

[@ericruelas3830]

I agree with you I got a Tundra I love it

[@JorgeAlvarez-sg2qo]

Tundra número uno amigos

[@tunasalad3919]

great review indeed..I would take Thundra over Silverado anytime.

[@Boricua4life]

I drove all the truck when I decided to buy a new vehicle. I am a big Nissan fan buy it came in last. Money was no option so I was not influence by cost or loyalty. I purchased a Silverado because it drove the best in my opinion. I rated them in the following order1 Silverado2 Dodge Ram3 Toyota4 Ford F-1505 Nissan TitanI am very happy with my decision going on 4 years.I plan on buying a Jeep wrangler Rubicon in 2022 and its probably going to be around 60K

[@christianjones4624]

I bought the 2016 Silverado. The one thing I liked on the 5.7 Tundra was the console shifter however I decided the Silverado rode better.

[@G8GTJav]

Yeah, definitely looked like you were getting tossed around a bit more in the Silverado on the rough stuff. However, bet the Silverado corners much better and feels more stable than the Tundra on paved roads with the stiffer suspension. Would like to see you take a Sierra Denali on those dirt roads. Really curious how the magnetic ride would handle those dirt roads.

[@furmanparton6740]

You’re going to pay dearly for that Denali package. That Chevy already costs more than that Tundra.

[@dabish2888]

I like this review. One thing that should have been considered is that the Silverado also offers the 6.2 liter V8 with 420 horsepower and 460 foot pounds of torque. That package would have blown the tundra way in the power department. The other findings would still likely be accurate.

[@buttonman1831]

Have owned both a modern Tundra and Silverado. My Tundra was a good truck. Excellant power, sounded fantastic with the TRD exhaust, lots of room inside, and had all the essential features most people would want imo. My Silverado looks much better, is a bit more comfortable, and a tad quieter, and shifts smoother. The ride is a bit rigid though, but on normal roads it is good. The Silverado is also better on the highway and is remarkably good on gas for a V8. Many reviewers (bought and paid for i'm sure) shit on the Tundra, I have owned one and can say it is a truly excellent truck and absolutely bulletproof. I do think the Silverados look better and I think they are excellent trucks, but I can't honestly say they are better.

[@mmabagain]

Turn on Tow/Haul mode without a trailer. There's your boost in the Tundra. Try it. You'll feel the difference.

[@TheJSmithBA]

Part of the reason the Chevy had a worse ride was it had 20" wheels with lower profile tires, which is just stupid for an off-road truck package. Bigger tires soak up bumps better.

[@joseblanco9926]

can you do a face off on a 2016 GMC Sierra all terrain x with the 5.3 v8 and a 2016 dodge ram with the 5.7 hemi v8

[@Frenchfryfatty]

I recently got a 2010 tundra. Overall I definitely have a positive opinion so far of it however it personally feels rather light. (I have the work truck 5.7L. It's meant to tow) only thing I really don't like is mpg is not great but then again it is still a truck

[@whiteduck491]

which is more reliable?? i wanted a silverado i have always like them. but have also been into toyota trucks.

[@gjolinares23]

should have used a 6.2l silverado has 420hp 460 lb ft and gets like 18-19 mpg combined.

[@Vism181]

For real lol

[@hankmiestro]

toyota 5.7 and chev 5.3 are the 2 volume engine choices for each company.Hardly anyone buys the 6.2 or in comparison the in house toyota 5.7 supercharged engine package.

[@gjolinares23]

+hankmiestro you are comparing apples to oranges. the 5.7 toyota is closer in actual size to the 6.2. the chevy 5.3 has always been pretty small.

[@hankmiestro]

+Gerardo Linares I'm saying most new tundras come with the 5.7. just like most new sierras/silverado come with the 5.3 reason being the 6.2 is an expensive option not needed for most people. same with the yota S/C 5.7. Size of the motor is irrelevant it's the cost.The performance of the 6.2 would come at a premium to both the motors in this video and as tested like he referred the silverado was already more expensive .

[@Epotheros]

The other engine option for the Tundra is the 4.6L. The s/c 5.7L is also an optional aftermarket package you can order at the dealership. It isn't really an "in house" from the factory option.

[@boldsyea5790]

How's the ride quality of the Tundra platinum and 1794 compared to the Ram 1500?

[@goodtalker]

I'm 56 and have always driven Ford, Chevrolet, and Jeep CJ-7s. They all served me verrrrrrry well. But not any more. My "Ruby" has had wiring and computer problems since 36,000 miles and my Super Duty started falling apart at about 100K miles. I would have kept the Ford if I could have purchased an additional warranty. Ford sold me two additional warranties after the original 70K warranty expired; both for $2,500 and 30K miles. At 130K miles, I couldn't get another.....terrible. My next purchase will be a Ram or a Tundra....probably the Tundra.

[@danielgalindo2714]

I’m buying a p/u in the next few weeks and I’m between 18 tundra and 18 Sierra, I’ve always been a gm fan but want to see what’s outside the box and really like the tundra’s electric rear window and rear seat space but just love the look of the sierra and I’m not so sure of the 8 speed trans idk how reliable it is and the fact that it turns off 4 cyl makes me nervous the more electronics in motors the more the probability of something going wrong, ultimately will come down on the final price sierras have huge discounts now that the new model is about to come out hopefully Toyota can compete with that $$$

[@Ram-re5em]

Do this test when they reach 150K miles see how the do then?

[@brianmoore1164]

If you are going to test Toyota's largest engine, shouldn't you be comparing it to GM's largest engine?

[@FluffyDohBoy]

Actually, that's the only engine offered in the Tundra.

[@Schmago]

Neal Hatfield tundra can come with a 4.6l v8 with 310 hp

[@mcfero1]

Nice drive along the 60. Cool to see reviews in an area i know.

[@Lambo6fo]

Toyota all the way. Yes I know it's not as good on fuel as the competition, but it you will save that money on the repairs you won't have to pay for.

[@ronhughley6510]

Nice vid. Good review. Nice style.

[@paulsmith1385]

Chevys only vibrate on perfectly smooth roads.

[@dennistv598]

Paul Smith cause it’s about to break down

[@acr3800]

You are a funny liar

[@tungol00]

Love the tundra

[@kingelvis7035]

25% better combined MPG is jawdropping. GM k2 is a generation ahead in engine tech. 20" wheels off road are terrible. I thought GM would not put 20s on the z71 but the must have changed that policy. I do think GM could decrease payload and soften the ride and would gain customers.

[@tronarat]

if that's near saguaro national park I've taken my 2014 nissan versa on those trails and it handled them fine I think putting these trucks in some real off road situations would have been nice to see that's what I thought you'd do when I began watching this video ,I'm looking into buying a silverado to actually use it as a truck but can't find any reviews of it being used for anything than a minivan like in this video.

[@mgp-bct7723]

The next generation Tundra will be nice if it’s going to Come out the rumors you hear them, V6 3.5 2 turbos Hybrid 450-500 hp 600 trq tow 18,000Lb and 30 mpg per gallon:))) LOL

[@jhonatanramos4856]

11:46 no key in the ignition while driving?

[@unnervingfalcon]

Good reviewing just wish you would get a better microphone.

[@kevinant6434]

Which is better for towing

[@R3N1R3N]

If Toyota offers larger bed options, it's a wrap... so far other than the fuel economy on Toyota not so good but not terrible, overall it's a much better engineered truck HANDS DOWN much more value than anything else on the road in it's class

[@yeulakho6574]

Toyota TRD all day, everyday, anywhere, anytime.

[@denalidriven1574]

Also using the best Toyota has to offer against the second best GM wanted to be fair give top of the line vs top of the line I guess scared to go up against the 6.2.

[@robertpurdy3208]

good review, really love my 2016 tundra, wouldn't trade for anything

[@salmata9thand962]

I owned Silverado 5.3 with afm and is was garbage. Now I have 2013 tundra and I love it.

[@the02chevyman]

not really fair match up considering the tundra is a 2500 rated truck and the silverado is just a 1500

[@TestDrivenTV]

Actually the Tundra is considered a 1500 or half-ton.

[@TestDrivenTV]

That's what makes it better ;)

[@officiallys.e.o8826]

And the Top of the line Trim level Tundra costs less than the lesser Chevy product? That is a no-brainer.

[@hockeyistherealmvp2505]

Officially S.E.O the 1794 edition is not the top of the line Toyota, the platinum edition is

[@abelrivera2007]

HockeyIsTheRealMVP 1794 is the top of the line

[@coolx10249]

Probably the only reason I'd choose Silverado is becsuse it looks more badass and if actually has car play/android auto

[@virenvs905]

very good review. I love the fact that you test these trucks on washboard roads to review rigidity and quality. That's where you seperate the trucks from the toys. Good job

[@joshuamccall7708]

I have a 2016 Silverado. It’s so uncomfortable I feel like it’s going to fall apart. And my keys drove me nuts. Smacking on steering wheel column.

[@DERRECK153]

why You didn't talk about the 6.2 litre which has more power and better mpg

[@danhenderson783]

I love Toyota, but, the Tundra looks like it got beat with a ugly stick.

[@highplainsdrifter9849]

Three Tundras with over a million miles. I would pick Tundra.

[@mikecoffin820]

I had no idea that The Edge reviewed trucks!

[@kevinmorley6300]

The only thing I wish my 16 tundra had was a locker in the rear end

[@Kevincheesepizza]

what was the torque on the silverado now?

[@yoteyeet5601]

Hank Hill Chevy 383 lb 4100 rpm outdated technology pushed rod 16 valve .Toyota 401lb 3600rpm double head over cam 32 valves dual vvt-I .

[@ronhughley6510]

The one with the nicer interior with the amber ish/peanut butter color is the TRD right

[@alaingonzalez1181]

Aquí en Miami solo veo Silverados nuevos,los viejos no se donde se meten,sin embargo las Tundra están por todos lados y de todas las generaciones,para darse cuenta solo hay estar en las calles,ningún producto de GM jamás será mas eficiente,mas duraredero y confiable que un TOYOTA,creo que no bastan los casi 80000 millones que le a dado el gobierno,quiero ver estos Chevrolet del 2014,2015,2016 pero quiero verlos dentro de 10 años y espero verlos en buen estado entonces voy a cambiar de opinion,no se engañen mas.

[@fellowwanderer780]

[@bahromhushorov3882]

T U N D R A !

[@thukey446]

Beautiful both trucks

[@rodkorn7240]

I’ll take the Chevy people say they don’t buy trucks for mpg but 15 vs 20 (25 with tune) gets my attention. Tundras look nice but I also look at parts and I could throw a lsa on the Chevy and still get better mpg for a lot less than the Toyota

[@banjo556]

Should have used a gmc with a 6.2

[@SergePupko]

Took that Chevy engine part right off the F150 vs Silverado video :p
