You'll be using the bed to move cargo and hitching up your trailer to the back of your truck. Most of your time, however, will be spent in the cab. That means it’s time to kick back and relax. Which model will provide the best interior features? Both trucks are available with a few different cabin options, which will impact the interior dimensions of your truck.
Both the 2023 Toyota Tundra and the Chevy Silverado 1500 have available automatic climate control features. Regardless of what the weather is like, you and your passengers will be comfortable inside.
Leather-trimmed seating is also available with both models to add an extra touch of luxury to your otherwise rugged workhorse.
Whether you choose the Double Cab or the CrewMax cab of the Tundra, you’ll have a spacious cabin that provides seating for up to five. That rear row can comfortably seat your friends and family or serve as extra cargo room if you need it. With 62.6 inches of hip room in the front and 60.5 inches in the back, you’ll easily be able to relax in this vehicle.
The Silverado, on the other hand, has some smaller configurations that may be less accommodating. The regular cab has seating for only three passengers. Plus, with just 61.18 inches of hip room in the front and 60.24 inches in the rear, you may feel slightly more cramped in this vehicle.
On those long drives between worksites and across the vast stretches of nowhere dotting the landscape, you need an infotainment system designed for the long haul.
Both the Tundra and the Silverado 1500 have standard 8-inch displays with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility.
If you’re looking for even greater visibility on the open road ahead, upgrade to the 14-inch system paired to 12 speakers in the Tundra. The available touchscreen display in the Silverado 1500 is comparable at 13.4 inches. It only provides a maximum of seven speakers, though, so you’ll enjoy superior sound quality in the Tundra.
Is your phone battery running low? Both trucks offer a wireless charging pad, so all you need to do is drop your device on top and watch those power levels climb. What’s the best part? You can leave your charging cable at home!
When it comes to peace of mind on the road, you want a safety system that makes your well-being a priority, and that’s a strong suit for both the Tundra and the Silverado 1500.
Confidence comes easy at the helm of these trucks. The Toyota Tundra comes standard with features like Automatic High Beams and Lane Departure Alert. While the Silverado 1500 has Lane Departure Warning, automatic high beams aren’t available on the base trim.
A bevy of additional safety systems comes standard on the Tundra with Toyota Safety Senseâ„¢ 2.5, which includes:
The Tundra will also outperform the Silverado 1500 in the unimaginable event of a collision. While the Chevy Silverado comes standard with six airbags in its cabin, the Toyota Tundra offers eight airbags. That extra layer of protection will help keep you and your crew safe.
The time has come to choose your champion: the 2023 Toyota Tundra or the Chevy Silverado 1500. With more convenience and safety features available with the Tundra, the choice is clear. When you're ready to take this performance machine for a test drive, come visit us at IRA Toyota Saco.
