Among the huge unveils at this year’s Chicago Auto Show was the brand-new variation of the Tacoma TRD Pro. The Tacoma TRD Pro is developed to provide an extra level of off-road capability and a more aggressive look than lower Tacoma models. Now we understand that it can all be yours beginning at $41,700 with a handbook and $43,700 with an automated.
That’s not a small amount by any procedure, particularly when you look at the TRD Off-Road model, which begins at $34,010 with a Double Cab and manual transmission. Paying the additional dough for the Pro design does supply you some nice goodies, both aesthetic and practical. Immediately obvious is the one-inch larger track front and back, one-inch lift at the front and TRD-exclusive grille and badging. The Tacoma TRD Pro likewise gets front and rear lights having black bezels and RIGID Industries LED fog lights. Underneath you’ll discover a quarter-inch thick aluminum skid plate for warding off rocks and special FOX internal bypass off-road shocks. Those shocks are backed with TRD-tuned springs. To top things off, the Pro likewise features some unique interior accents and a TRD cat-back exhaust to guarantee you sound much better, or a minimum of louder, when hitting the trails.
All of those bonuses are added top of the basic off-roading equipment the TRD Pro show the TRD Off-Road model. This implies they both get the exact same 4×4, electronic locking rear differential, active traction control, tow plan and hill start help functions. They also both get the exact same “CRAWL” control system for helping with challenging trails when purchased with an automated.
If you require the additional ability or choose the style, the Pro is a beneficial choice. The majority of buyers, however, would probably be much better off with an extra $7,000 in their pocket.
