Each model features outstanding powertrain options, but it's also helpful to compare gas mileage. With the base engine and rear-wheel drive, the new Tacoma gets an EPA-estimated 20 mpg around town and 23 mpg on the highway. Considering the Tundra is larger, it's understandable that it has slightly lower fuel efficiency, which is rated at 13 mpg in the city and 18 mpg on the highway.
When it comes to overall size, the new Tundra is bigger as it's a full-size pickup truck. The Tacoma is a compact pickup truck, so it's inherently smaller in general. They also offer different bed sizes, which is another important factor to consider. The Tundra offers lengths ranging from 5 feet, 6 inches to 8 feet, 1 inch. The Tacoma bed lengths range from 5 feet to 6 feet, 1 inch.
