Safety Comes Standard on the 2018 Toyota Tundra
Both of the pickup truck models in this comparison will provide the power you need to get the job done. So, when it comes to choosing the right model, we think it's also important to compare the other offerings these models bring to the table. If you plan to do any family hauling with your pickup truck, safety is likely a high priority. Only the 2018 Toyota Tundra has a suite of active safety that comes standard on every single trim level. The Toyota Safety Sense system includes a pre-collision system with pedestrian detection, lane departure alert with sway warning system, automatic high beams, and dynamic radar cruise control. Toyota Safety Sense is found even on the base SR 2018 Tundra trim. The 2018 RAM 1500 doesn't offer most of the same active safety features, even on higher trim levels.
While the base trim on the 2018 Toyota Tundra may cost a little more up front than the base trim on the 2018 RAAM 1500, it also offers a lot more bang for the buck thanks to standard active safety, a passenger-friendly interior, a more powerful base engine, and a long list of amenities.
