2024 GMC Sierra 1500 vs. 2024 Toyota Tundra
Which One is Right for You?
Overview
At Crain Buick GMC in Springdale, we understand that choosing the right truck is a big decision. The 2024 GMC Sierra 1500 and the 2024 Toyota Tundra are two standout full-size trucks offering impressive power and capabilities. To help you make an informed decision, we’ll compare these trucks across several important categories.
The 2024 GMC Sierra 1500 offers many trims, from practical work models to luxurious high-end versions like the Denali Ultimate. This makes the Sierra 1500 a versatile option for any buyer. Whether you need it for tough jobs or comfortable daily driving, the Sierra balances performance and comfort.
The 2024 Toyota Tundra boasts a modern design and has earned a reputation for durability. However, the Sierra 1500 stands out with more customizable trim levels, including off-road-focused trims like the AT4 and luxury-focused trims like the Denali Ultimate.
Performance & Powertrain Options
The 2024 GMC Sierra 1500 shines with several engine options, including the 2.7L turbocharged four-cylinder, 5.3L V8, 6.2L V8, and the fuel-efficient 3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel. The 6.2L V8 provides up to 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque, making it ideal for towing and heavy-duty tasks.
The 2024 Toyota Tundra has a standard 3.5L twin-turbo V6, producing 389 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque. It also offers a hybrid version with increased torque for enhanced towing capacity. Despite this, the Sierra 1500’s broader selection of engines, including the Duramax diesel, gives it an advantage for drivers looking for both versatility and power.
Off-road Capabilities
Both trucks are off-road ready. The GMC Sierra 1500 AT4 offers 2-inch lift, skid plates, and off-road-tuned Rancho shocks. It also comes standard with four-wheel drive, making it highly capable of handling challenging terrains like trails in the Ozarks.
The Toyota Tundra TRD Pro is also designed for off-road enthusiasts, with Fox shocks, skid plates, and all-terrain tires. However, the Sierra’s AT4X trim brings in luxury elements while maintaining its rugged capabilities, making it a better option for those wanting both off-road performance and premium features.
Technology Features
The 2024 GMC Sierra 1500 excels in technology with its 13.4-inch touchscreen and Google built-in system. This allows drivers to access Google Maps, voice commands, and more without connecting a smartphone. Additionally, the truck includes a 12.3-inch digital driver display, offering a thoroughly modern driving experience. Standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto make smartphone integration seamless.
The 2024 Toyota Tundra also features a 14-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, but the Sierra’s built-in Google system offers a more integrated and intuitive tech experience.
Interior Space & Comfort
The 2024 GMC Sierra 1500 interior is designed with luxury in mind, particularly in the Denali Ultimate trim, which features leather seating, open-pore wood accents, and even massaging front seats. It’s also spacious, providing ample legroom and headroom for both front and rear passengers.
The 2024 Toyota Tundra offers a similarly comfortable interior in its higher trims. Still, the Sierra 1500 Denali Ultimate provides additional luxury touches like a power sunroof and head-up display, giving it the edge in terms of overall comfort and sophistication.
Safety & Driver Assistance
Both trucks come with comprehensive safety features. The 2024 GMC Sierra 1500 is equipped with GMC Pro Safety Plus, which includes automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring, and adaptive cruise control. One of its standout features is Super Cruise, which allows for hands-free driving on compatible highways—a feature that isn’t available on the Tundra.
The Toyota Tundra includes Toyota Safety Sense 2.5, offering similar features like automatic emergency braking and lane departure alert. However, the Super Cruise technology in the Sierra gives it an advantage, especially for long highway drives.
Our Choice
Both the 2024 GMC Sierra 1500 and 2024 Toyota Tundra are solid contenders. Still, the GMC Sierra 1500 stands out for its more comprehensive range of engine options, luxurious interior features, and advanced technology like Super Cruise. It offers rugged capability and refined comfort, making it the superior choice for drivers who need versatility without compromising quality.
