When shopping pickup trucks, you have some solid options. The 2025 Chevy Silverado 1500 and 2025 Toyota Tundra are both terrific picks. Let’s review the pros and cons of each to determine how they compare.
VS.
The Silverado comes in nine trims, ranging from the wallet-friendly WT model to the well-appointed ZR2. The Tundra comes in ten configurations, from the affordable SR to the pricier Capstone. We’ll find most of what these vehicles have to offer a few steps up from the base model, so let’s dig into the standard features of the 2025 Chevy Silverado LT versus the 2025 Toyota Tundra SR5 4-wheel drive 5.5-ft CrewMax.
The Silverado packs a sporty TurboMax engine, delivering 310 hp, 430 lb-ft of torque and a towing capacity of 9,500 lbs (up to 13,300 lbs at higher-end V8 configurations). Four-wheel drive, 8-speed automatic transmission with overdrive and tow/haul mode gives you responsive performance with intuitive handling and control. With an estimated fuel economy of 17 MPG city / 20 MPG highway, the Silverado is both fun to drive and practical.
The Tundra has a 3.4L Twin-Turbo V6 engine under the hood for 389 hp, 479 lb-ft torque and a towing capacity of up to 11,160 lbs. Featuring a 10-speed automatic transmission with selectable drive modes and an estimated 17 MPG city / 23 MPG highway, the Tundra is also a respectable option.
Altogether, both the Silverado and Tundra are capable performers in most environments.
The Chevy Silverado is equipped with an impressive bundle of safety features. Standard driver-assistance features include HD rear vision camera with hitch guidance, forward collision alert, lane keep assist with lane departure warning, and electronic stability control system with traction control, brake assist, trailer sway control, and hill start assist.
The Toyota Tundra is no slouch either in terms of safety. The Tundra comes with a driver assist package that includes pre-collision system with pedestrian detection, dynamic radar cruise control, lane departure alert with steering assist, and more.
If you prefer an inviting interior with modern amenities, you’ll probably like the Silverado. Open the doors and you’ll discover a 10-way power-adjustable driver’s seat with lumbar, 40/20/40 split-bench front seat with under-seat storage, heated steering wheel with mounted controls, 12.3-inch driver information center, dual-zone automatic climate control and more. The infotainment system features 6-speaker audio, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, 13.4-inch multitouch display with Google built-in, and too many amenities to list here.
There is also plenty to like about the Tundra’s interior. With an 8-way power-adjustable driver’s seat with power-adjustable lumbar support, 60/40 split folding rear seat, and single-zone automatic climate control, the cabin is both comfortable and functional. 9-speaker audio with steering wheel-mounted phone and audio controls and more make for a nice enough infotainment setup.
Chevrolet is known for rugged American styling, craftsmanship, value, and power. The 2025 Silverado lives up to the reputation. The 2025 Toyota Tundra is also a well-rounded option. You can’t go wrong with either, but in our opinion, the Chevy Silverado wins this matchup.
