POWERTRAIN
The RAM has the most torque of this group , from its HEMI V8 , but the HSV has the most power .
While the 2021 Ford F-150 will have at least six engine options in the US , we ’ re comparing petrol V8s here , so it ’ s the 5L V8 we ’ ve included . The Ford has only 14Nm less than the class-leading RAM ( and just 5Nm less than the Toyota ).
Fuel figures ( which are the US EPA official figures converted from mpg to L / 100km ) for all trucks but the Tundra are similar at 13L / 100km . The Tundra , with its combined average of 16.8L / 100km , is considerably thirstier , perhaps because it has a six-speed auto while the others have at least seven forward speeds .
The Tundra is the thirtiest of this bunch of US utes .
The Tundra makes up ground , though , with touring range , thanks to its 143L standard fuel tank ( although larger-capacity fuel tanks are on the US options lists for some of the others here ).
When towing at its limit , the Nissan Titan ' s payload capacity is a paltry 79kg .
