We’re About to get Dirty with Toyota’s TRD Pro Series Trucks!
Toyota’s reputation in the off-road vehicle segment is obviously strong. We can simply think of the legendary Land Cruiser, the indestructible Hilux pickup or the unique FJ Cruiser, as the Japanese manufacturer proved a long time ago that it can boldly trek off the beaten path.
Today, we’re about to put Toyota’s TRD Pro Series trucks to the test, which includes the midsize Tacoma pickup and its big brother, the Tundra.

In a nutshell, the TRD Pro package emphasises off-road driving and targets buyers looking for a vehicle that can go further off road than a conventional truck can. Both TRD Pro models get a raised and reinforced suspension as well as underbody skid plates that are destined to protect the mechanical elements from impacts.
The 2017 Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro and Tundra TRD Pro also benefit from knobbier tires and various bodywork modifications, such as bumpers and mudguards. The specifications vary from one vehicle to another, but we’ll talk about that later.
Stay tuned for our full report on Toyota’s TRD Pro Series models in a few days!
