Comparison Review

Comfort
Due to its greater head- and legroom, passengers in the extended cab will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Toyota Tundra than in the GMC Sierra 2500. The GMC Sierra 2500 will be a favorite with tall drivers and their passengers, since it has much greater head- and legroom than the Toyota Tundra.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The GMC Sierra 2500 is somewhat more expensive than the Toyota Tundra.

Dimensions
Since the GMC Sierra 2500 is much wider than the Toyota Tundra, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the GMC Sierra 2500, which is slightly longer than the Toyota Tundra.

Powertrain
With its lower torque engine, the GMC Sierra 2500 doesn't do as good a job transmitting horsepower to its wheels as the Toyota Tundra.
