As you can see from the specifications compared on this page, it would be difficult to choose based on numbers alone. The price difference at most trim levels is negligible, as is gas mileage and under-the-hood power. Instead of focusing on numbers, you may want to take a look at the more subjective differences between the two to help determine just what it is you look for in a car.

Meanwhile, select trims on the 2017 Tundra feature Entune™ Audio Plus with Connected Navigation App, Connected Navigation Scout® GPS Link App, and the Entune® App Suite.

Vehicle Safety

The Ram 1500 has Electronic Stability Control, Advanced Multistage Front Airbags, and available ParkView™ Rear Back-Up Camera.
