Whatever your reason is for wanting a pickup truck, you should know you’re getting the right one, and not just buying for brand loyalty. As great as brand loyalty can be, you may find that the truth of which truck suits your needs best lies deep in the details and specifications, not in the shape of the logo. That, and not everyone is planning to use a truck for the same reasons another person will. The most useful truck is obviously the one with the most overall capability for the greatest amount of tasks.
The 2020 Toyota Tundra may not be an American classic name like the 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, but that doesn’t mean it can’t get to work and go off-road right alongside the Chevrolet pickup.

The chart below compares some of their highlights according to available features.

Between these two trucks, you can find a lot of differences. Unfortunately, the 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 tries so hard to be so many things that it doesn’t do exceptional often. Besides its high numbers in towing and payload, the 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 doesn’t have many other strengths. Off-roading, for example, is lead by the 2020 Toyota Tundra without reservation. Its higher ground clearance, numerous TRD trims, and higher torque make it the clear choice for off-roading.
