But there is more.

  • Toyota Tundra Access Cab Limited has 40 less horsepower

  • Toyota Tundra Access Cab Limited has 10 less pound feet of torque

  • Toyota Tundra Access Cab Limited bed is narrower and 5-1/2" shallower than Avalanche.  With the midgate down in Avalanche, Toyota's bed doesn't compare

  • Despite having a smaller engine, weighing less, less horsepower and torque, the Toyota Tundra gets 13 MPG city and 18 MPG highway, almost identical to Avalanche

  • You can't get climate control, outside temperature gauge, compass, roof rack, seat warmers, dimming side view mirrors, or Home Link with Tundra!

The advantage is clear!  The Chevy Avalanche beats the Toyota Tundra Access Cab Limited with more horsepower, more torque, more passenger room, a bigger bed, and more standard options including key safety features not even available with Toyota.
