2024 RAM 1500 vs. 2024 Toyota Tacoma?

Explore the compelling advantages and sophisticated features of the 2024 RAM 1500 as it goes head-to-head with the 2024 Toyota Tacoma. This detailed comparison reveals why the RAM 1500 emerges as the preferred choice for our hard-working clientele in Sallisaw, OK, highlighting its superior capabilities, comfort, and technology. Let us show you why the Dodge RAM 1500 has been named the Consumer Guide® Automotive Best Buy 15 years straight, and why it’s the most awarded truck brand for the last 5 years.?

Exploring Trim Levels of the 2024 RAM 1500 & 2024 Toyota Tacoma?

Both the RAM 1500 and the Toyota Tacoma offer a wide selection of trims, though the Tacoma offers less variation in luxury and performance adaptability, focusing far more on utility. RAM presents far more appearance packages allowing for extensive customization, from the Limited Longhorn’s ™ Southwest inspiration to the dark and daring Night Edition and the highly-exclusive, limited run of the TRX Final Edition. Options from the practical Tradesman® to the luxurious Limited cater not just to functionality but to tastes and thoughtful consideration of the hard-working driver. Toyota’s new Trailhunter is very capable and well-outfitted for off-road performance, but the RAM’s TRX and Rebel® are comparable. And with more choices for performance package customizations as well, the possibilities with RAM are endless.

Interior

Similar to the exterior, the Tacoma is more simplistic in cabin design. The 2024 RAM 1500 not only caters to modern storage needs, functionality features, and simplicity of use, but is the most luxurious RAM ever based on its standard and available features. The RAM 1500 Laramie trim was titled one of Autotrader’s Best Interiors, thanks to features like Bristol leather-trimmed bucket seats with suede inserts in rich colors and accent stitching on all surfaces and open-pore wood accents. Even the Toyota Tacoma’s top-tier Limited trim only offers SofTex-trimmed seats, though they do feature shock absorption. The RAM 1500’s thoughtful features like available recessed LED lighting and a dual-pane panoramic sunroof letting in over 10 sq. ft. of open sky show attention to the driver’s need to relax after a hard day while providing smart conveniences. The center console, for instance, holds up to a 15-inch laptop, and class-exclusive in-floor storage maximizes every inch. The Tacoma provides a simple moonroof and rear seat storage, again focusing more on utilitarianism.

Cargo Bed Utility and Storage

The Tacoma features a pegboard-style rear panel storage system inside that’s lockable, but it cannot compare to the RAM’s RamBox® Cargo Management System which provides lighted, secured exterior storage. The Tacoma offers multiple utility features for the cargo bed, including pre-wired auxiliary switches and an onboard air compressor, as well as a power tailgate. The versatility of the Dodge RAM 1500’s multi-function tailgate is hard competition, with the ability to swing open 88-degrees even when trailering, and when flattened can handle up to 2 tons. Its Trailer Hitch Light lets you see your trailer hitch clearly and hands-free even in low-light conditions. RAM takes the prize for functionality with ease.

Powertrains and Capability (Power)

In the realm of engine power, there is no competition. The 2024 RAM 1500 sets a high standard with its refined ride quality. While the Tacoma is known for reliability, its powertrains lack the force and acceleration ease of the RAM 1500, with a ride quality that feels firmer and less accommodating under strain or on rough terrains.?To compare the standard engines, the RAM’s standard 3.6L Pentastar® V6 engine with eTorque’s 305 hp overshadows the Tacoma’s 2.4L standard turbo engine with only 278 hp. Both the Toyota Tacoma and Dodge RAM 1500 offer hybrid options, with the RAM pulling ahead again. The Tacoma hybrid’s 326 hp and 465 lbs.-ft. of torque is commendable, but RAM’s hybrid uses a 5.7L HEMI® V8 engine, enabling a best-in-class towing capacity of 12,750 lbs. with 395 hp and 410 lbs.-ft. of torque.

The Toyota Tacoma does not offer another powertrain—but the RAM 1500 offers the ultimate in engines as the cherry on top of their lineup. The Most Powerful Factory-Installed Engine in its Class, the Supercharged 6.2L HEMI® V8 engine roars with an unprecedented 702 hp and astounding 650 lbs.-ft. of torque, best-in-class for both metrics, and an impossible act to follow.

Comparing the two, the RAM 1500's advanced torque and horsepower facilitate a more dynamic driving experience and superior towing capabilities, clearly identifying it as the top choice for rigorous tasks and relaxed cruising.?
