Another edition to Toyota->ke88’s trio of off-road trucks is the 2015 Tacoma TRD Pro. It’s based off the same concept as the 4Runner TRD Pro and features much of the same equipment. However, the Tacoma TRD Pro package isn’t completely new for the Tacoma. Astute Toyota fans will remember the TX Baja package Toyota offered on the Tacoma starting in 2012. The TRD Pro’s remote reservoir Bilstein shocks, blacked-out beadlock-style wheels, and off-road tires were all seen on the Baja package. But that doesn’t make it any less cool.

Starting up front, the Tacoma receives a two-inch suspension lift up front to help level out the truck. Those Bilstein shocks are specially tuned with a decreased spring rate to help tackle the rough stuff off the beaten path. Like the Baja package, the TRD Pro truck gets 16-inch beadlock-style wheels finished in black, all wrapped in BFGoodrich All-Terrain tires sized in LT265/75R16.

Helping the Tacoma’s 4.0-liter V-6 breath is a TRD exhaust package while a nicely polished exhaust tip helps add some flair to the truck’s rear fender. TRD pro badges help accent the exterior of the truck along with a unique front grille that spells out TOYOTA much like that of the classic FJ40 and more recent FJ Cruiser->ke353.

Interior additions include TRD Pro floor mats and shift knob, along with red stitching on the front and rear seats, and the center console. Not much else changes for the truck’s interior.

The 2015 Tacoma TRD Pro package, along with the Tundra->ke485 and 4Runner TRD Pro editions, will become available this fall, though Toyota has yet to announce pricing for any of the three trucks.

2014 Toyota Tacoma

The Tacoma has been a mainstay in the midsize truck market for quite a while now. Its seen its competitors come and go, with the Nissan Frontier remaining the only real threat to sales. While the Tacoma is a great truck with plenty of features, its age has been showing for more than a few model years now.

Its current body style was new in 2005 when Toyota brought out is second generation. A mid-life refresh was done in 2012, making it look more sporty and adventurous. Not much has changed under the hood, however, as power still comes from a 4.0-liter V-6 that makes 236 horsepower and 266 pound-feet of torque.

Buy-in price to the Tacoma is pretty low at $18,125 and a fully-loaded model tops out in the low $30,000s.
