Full-Size Pickup Comparison
Shopping for a full-size pickup in Jacksonville means weighing the 2027 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 against the 2027 Toyota Tundra. Both trucks bring fresh styling and updated technology for the new model year. They split apart on towing, payload, engine choice, and driver-assist tech.
At George Moore Chevrolet in Jacksonville, FL, we help First Coast drivers sort through those differences every day. Some of you pull a boat to the ramp near Mayport. Others haul tools across I-295 or load the family for a weekend at Jacksonville Beach. This page lines up the numbers so you can see which truck fits that routine.

Starting MSRP is before destination, taxes, fees, and options. Contact George Moore Chevrolet to confirm current pricing. Silverado figures are Chevrolet's published 2027 specs, and maximum ratings apply to specific engine, cab, bed, and equipment combinations. Toyota has not published full 2027 Tundra specs, so Tundra figures reflect its latest published (2026) numbers. Fuel economy figures are estimates.
Hauling & Trailering
The 2027 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is rated to tow up to 13,700 lbs with the 5.7L V8 and Max Trailering Package. It carries up to 2,340 lbs of payload with the TurboMax engine. Toyota's latest published Tundra figures are up to 12,000 lbs of towing and 1,940 lbs of payload.
Boats and trailers are part of life from the St. Johns River to the Atlantic coast. A center-console boat, a travel trailer, or a bed full of landscaping gear can all test a truck's limits. The Silverado 1500 gives you more margin when the load gets heavy. Ratings change with cab, bed, drivetrain, and equipment, so check the label on the exact truck.

Engine Lineup
The 2027 Silverado 1500 offers four engines. They include a 350 hp TurboMax, a 402 hp 5.7L V8, a 481 hp 6.6L V8, and a 305 hp Duramax diesel. The Toyota Tundra offers a twin-turbo V6 and an i-FORCE MAX hybrid, rated up to 437 hp and 583 lb-ft in Toyota's latest published figures.
The Tundra hybrid leads in torque, which helps off the line. The Silverado 1500 leads in peak horsepower and adds the only diesel in this matchup. GM estimates up to 27 mpg highway for the 2WD Duramax. Toyota has not published 2027 EPA ratings, and its 2026 Tundra models ranged from 19 to 22 mpg combined.
Cabin & Utility
Both trucks refresh the cabin tech for 2027. The Tundra includes a 14-inch touchscreen and a built-in dash cam as standard. The Silverado 1500 brings a redesigned interior with larger screens and an available Multi-Flex Tailgate.
Super Cruise is Chevrolet's hands-free driver assistance system for compatible, mapped highways. It is offered on the Silverado 1500 High Country and ZR2, with trailering support. On a long I-95 run, hands-free highway driving, even while towing, takes real strain out of the trip.
Confidence On The Road
Both trucks arrive well equipped. Toyota Safety Sense 4.0 is standard on every 2027 Tundra and adds pedestrian detection, full-speed adaptive cruise control, and lane tracing assist. Chevrolet lists more than 15 standard safety and driver-assistance features on the 2027 Silverado 1500.
Warranty terms are close. Chevrolet lists 3 years or 36,000 miles of basic coverage and typically 5 years or 60,000 miles on the powertrain. Toyota lists the same, and it backs hybrid batteries for up to 10 years or 150,000 miles. Confirm current terms for the exact truck before you buy.
Trim Lineup & Value
The 2027 Silverado 1500 starts at $38,600 MSRP for the Work Truck before destination. Toyota has not announced 2027 Tundra pricing. The 2026 Tundra SR started at $41,260 before destination, so compare final numbers once Toyota publishes them.
Starting MSRP is a reference point, not a quote. The Silverado 1500 lineup climbs from Work Truck to ZR2, with Custom, Silverado, Custom Trail Boss, Trail Boss, and High Country in between. Our team can walk you through trims, explain options at our finance center, or value your trade before you visit.
