2022 Toyota Tundra vs. Tacoma: MPG & Engine Output

One key difference between Tacoma and Tundra is certainly the amount of raw power that each can generate. When equipped with the available twin-turbo V6 hybrid engine, the Tundra can generate an astonishing 437 horsepower. However, the smaller and lighter Tacoma is no lightweight on the job in Santa Barbara: its available 278-hp V6 can tow surprisingly heavy loads (more on that later).

When it comes to the Tundra vs. Tacoma MPG, the latter’s smaller size gives it the advantage; better fuel economy will save you time and money if you need to travel between job sites. See below for a breakdown of the difference between Tacoma and Tundra performance and MPG with each engine:

2022 Toyota Tacoma

  • Standard 2.7L 4-cylinder Engine: at 159 hp and 180 lb-ft of torque
  • Available 3.5L V6 Engine: 278 hp and 265 lb-ft of torque
  • EPA-estimated Fuel Economy: 20 mpg city and 23 mpg highway

2022 Toyota Tundra

  • Available i-FORCE MAX 3.5L Twin-Turbo V6 Hybrid Engine: 437 hp and 583 lb-ft of torque
  • EPA-estimated Fuel Economy: 18 mpg city and 24 mpg highway

2022 Toyota Tundra vs. Tacoma: Towing Capacity

There is a big difference between Tacoma and Tundra towing capacities—in fact, you can take on loads twice as heavy with the Tundra’s 12,000-pound maximum. However, the Tacoma can tow a respectable 6,800 pounds, which is plenty for a wide range of large utility trailers and campers.
