Key Differences and Similarities 

When looking at the table above, you can see that these trucks differ the most in their size. As a result, they also differ in their performance abilities and capabilities. The Tacoma is a midsize truck, meaning that it has a ton of potential, but can't rival the full-sized power of the Tundra. If you need more power or room to store cargo, pick the Tundra. If you want a more compact model that will be more efficient but still have enough power to tow a good deal, pick the Tacoma.  

Associated with size and power is fuel economy. The Tacoma, as it is a smaller model, will give you a better mpg rating. The Tacoma comes in at an EPA-estimated 19 city/24 highway mpg*. On the other hand, the Tundra is rated at an EPA-estimated 15 city/19 highway mpg*. Fuel economy is an important factor to consider when choosing your next truck. A lower fuel economy will mean paying more at the pump. It will be up to you whether this criteria holds weight in your decision-making process. 

The TRD, or Toyota Racing Development, emblem signifies a specially-equipped model that is geared to superior performance. Both models offer a TRD option, however the Tacoma gives the choice of three specialty trim levels: the TRD Pro, the TRD Sport, and the TRD Off-Road. Each of these models are geared towards a different type of performance, increasing options for drivers. The Tundra offers the TRD Sport package, which will give drivers access to some TRD equipment and specific stylistic elements, but the Tundra does not have the same variety within the TRD spectrum as the Tacoma does.
