TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2018 GMC Sierra is a rugged, handsome full-size pickup certainly worthy of your attention.

The 2018 Toyota Tundra offers a strong V-8 engine and good advanced safety tech, but it comes up short in terms of fuel efficiency and interior quality.

Comfortable interior
Solid engine lineup

TRD models do their job well

TCC Dislikes

Some buyers may want more power
Chevy Silverado is a little cheaper
Denali is quite pricey

Low-rent interior
Extended cab is tight inside
