The 2020 Toyota Tundra trim packages include the SR, SR5, Limited, Platinum, 1794 Edition, and TRD Pro. On the Tundra models, both the extended and crew cab features two rows of regular doors. The Tundra extended cab is available with a 6.5-foot or 8.1-foot bed, while the Tundra crew cab is only available with a 5.5-foot bed. Infotainment Both truck lineups include many modern infotainment features. The Tacoma SR includes a 7-inch touch screen display, while all other Tacoma and Tundra models bump up to an 8-inch display. Both truck lineups include Bluetooth connectivity, voice recognition, USB ports, Amazon Alexa compatibility, Android Auto, and Apple CarPlay. High-end models of both the Tacoma and Tundra include premium audio systems, integrated navigation, and dynamic voice recognition. Engine Engine options for the Tacoma include a 159-horsepower 2.7-liter I-4 engine and a 278-horsepower, 3.5-liter V-6 engine. The SR and SR5 engines are paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission, while all others are built with a 6-speed manual transmission. The Tundra lineup includes one engine, a 381-horsepower, 5.7-liter V-8 engine paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. In both truck lineups, the SR and SR5 models are equipped with rear-wheel drive, while all other models are four-wheel drive. Performance Fuel efficiency is much higher in the Tacoma than the Tundra. The Tacoma has an EPA-estimated fuel efficiency rating of 18 mpg in the city and 22 mpg on the highway. The larger Tundra is slightly lower, with a fuel economy of 13 mpg in the city and 18 mpg on the highway. The payload capacity for the Tacoma varies from 1,105 pounds (TRD Sport) to 1,685 pounds (SR and SR5). The Tundra payload maximum varies from 1,560 (TRD Pro) to 1,730 (SR5 with the 8.1-foot bed). The Tacoma's maximum towing capacity varies from 3,500 pounds (I-4 engines) to a max of 6,600 pounds (V-6 models).

The Tundra also includes a tow/haul mode switch and an integrated brake controller. Both the Tacoma and Tundra lineups include off-road TRD models. The Tundra TRD Pro offers a longer bed option, but both include heavy-duty shocks and skid plates. The Tacoma is more nimble when driving off-road thanks to its smaller size and standard off-road tech. The Tacoma is equipped with crawl control, a locking rear differential, and multi-terrain select. The Toyota Tundra does not currently come with crawl control, but it was recently announced that this feature will be available on the 2022 Toyota Tundra TRD PRO.
