GMC Sierra vs Toyota Tundra

[jampack]

Hey everyone!

I am not really a truck guy until lately, realizing that we will need a truck to tow the future trailer we want. I am not savvy about engines and certain aspects of trucks but I'd like to know more of your feedback about these 2 trucks that we are interested in.

I have heard stories of Toyota (Tacomas & Tundras) getting driven to the ground and basically lasts forever. Resale is also amazing as so what I heard and researched. With the new Tundra coming out, this is something we are considering. The 2022 Tundra looks nice but there's still limited details about it.

But with the 2021 GMC Sierras' looks, they are just digging into me. They look nice but I am not sure of their longevity and if there are problems with these trucks that you all may know or even encounter. My father has cursed any American made vehicle due to his previous experience with his first vehicle. Also, with end of year coming up, there seems to be a lot of incentives popping up from GM lately.

Thanks in advance!

Has Toyota done anything to update the tundra and justify its price in the last 15 years?

Do you actually intend to own your new truck out to 400k km? If not I’m not sure why the perceived longevity matters.

Tundra is great if you want to overpay for truck with 15 year old design.

All-new for 2022:

If it was me, I'd rate the Chev below the Ford by only a little. Both well ahead of the 2021 tundra. No idea about the 2022 tundra.

I like Toyota as a manufacturer. But pickups are something the Americans do very well.

Imo. You can’t compete with the amount of R&D dollars that the big 3 spends on trucks.

Unless you have a compulsive urge to be different, buy a domestic half ton.

1. Ford
2. RAM
3. GM
78. Tundra

Ford for the ecoboost, ram for the interior and air suspension and gm for the overall reasonable package. Exterior is nice with a good drivetrain. Interior is miles behind now. Basically the same as a 2014. And if you think that's old... just wait until you see a toyota lol

ford for the cheap short term leases before the eco boost craps out, ram for the interior and air suspension and gm for the overall reasonable package. Exterior is nice with a good drivetrain. Interior is miles behind now. Basically the same as a 2014. And if you think that's old... Just wait until you see a toyota lol

ftfy

Gm for the corvette engine if you like big noises. It makes an excellent big noise.

Can confirm

6.2L ftw!

Where does the Titan fit in this ranking, there are still a few new ones kicking around despite being discontinued.

We bought a Titan once for export. It was absolutely terrible.

I've had Ford F-150, Chev 1500 and Ram Cummins and currently a 2019 Ram 1500. IMHO, I would pick the Ram over Ford, Chev last.Some of field contract operators tried Tundras and they didn't stand up to Musreau /Fox creek type operations....very weak rear suspensions.

What didn’t you like about it? Just curious as we are looking at a large Nissan product.

The XD Platinum I've seen has valve tick bordering on fucking diesel noise. Completely and clearly unacceptable, but Nissan says "Yo that's totes normal on the 5.6L, Brah" which is a complete load of steaming shit with a DQ swirl.

Didn’t the titan grt shitcanned from The Canadian market?

Interior straight out of 2005, powertrain felt ancient, poor build quality, huge depreciation which actually made it hard to buy and make money with.

This. Even the new one is doing things the big 3 have done for 5ish years now. Plus, you cannot justify those atrocious fuel economy numbers. I get its a truck, but it doesn't do truck things any better than the others..

[killramos]

You buy a tundra because you insist on being different than the other millions of pickup drivers, no other reason.

My personal opinion on trucks if you care:

#1 in being trucky: chev/gm, cant beat the reliability of the gas v8s (minus the cyl deact bs) and I find they are built more robust
#1 in interior and catering to market by having multiple iphone holderds: ford - bonus you get a factory fresh build with 6 months of orange rust coating the diff and axles
#at being a piece of shit: dodge ram - seriously 5 bolt axles? And shit front ends that need ball joints every 50k. Nice interior but FCA quality is literal shit. From the toilet.
Nissan: not too much experience but their titan pro4x was an awesome 4x4 system that got me through some thick ass spring mud se of regina
Toyota: enjoy paying absurd prices for what you get, but at least you get solid reliable drivetrain
