    I hope the Taco gets more than recycled XRunner black badges...

    Saw this pic on the 4R forum, wonder if the dual-VVTi 1GR supercharger will finally be ready?

    I recognize those rims from a "special edition" Fj Toyota did at Sema a few years ago. Looks like they're finally putting them to use

    Wish toyota did some thing like a 5.7 motor and a mild lift on the pro vs just stickers and wheels.

    But like posted prior they like to stay conservative

    Nothing really worth posting.. Toyota didn't really introduce anything new.. Just a re branded Baja across their Tacoma, 4Runner and Tundra lines.. Minor cosmetic changes but the same wheels, and suspension as previous models.. Fail..

    And it gets the skewp so sport owners will be mad, haha. Not bad if the price is lower than the baja package which I doubt. They all got the Baja treatment and the specs say the tires on the taco went up to 265/75/16 sidewall. They didn't look like BFG's in the video, more like Cooper AT3's or Terra Grapplers, anybody see what the tires were? I really like the badge stamped on the side with no stickers.

    They don't look bad but I mean they do the same thing all the time , minor upgrades and probably way overpriced

    Toyota Unveils New 2015 TRD Pro Off-Road Package – Tundra, Tacoma, 4Runner
    by Tim Esterdahl 4 min read original

    Toyota has unveiled a new off-road TRD Pro package at the 2014 Chicago Auto Show. Billed as the next evolution of TRD off-road performance, this new offering is sure to grab a lot of attention. Here is what you need to know.

    [​IMG]

    Toyota Unveils New TRD Pro Off-Road Package - Tundra, Tacoma, 4Runner
    Look at this trio of off-road vehicles! These guys are ready for some dirt.
    Working with the Toyota Racing Development team, these new packages, for the Tundra, Tacoma and 4Runner, are the culmination of the experience they have learned at the grueling Baja 500 and 1000 endurance races. Each package is built to withstand some pretty harsh treatment while amping up the fun factor of off-roading.

    Specifications for all TRD Pro Series
    Each Tundra, Tacoma and 4Runner with this package will come with:

    TRD Bilstein shocks with remote reservoirs
    TRD-tuned front springs
    TRD front skid plate
    Unique front grille with “TOYOTA” badging (pays tribute to early iconic Toyota models)
    TRD floor mats
    TRD shift knobs
    Black wheels
    Also, Toyota is announcing the new Inferno color will be added to its lineup. This hot red is joined by black and super white.

    The Tundra TRD Pro will get some other features as well including:

    TRD-tuned springs with 2” lift for the front of the vehicle
    Decreased spring rate to improve ride quality over harsh terrain
    All-black 18-inch alloy wheels with Michelin ORP tires
    TRD dual exhaust system
    TRD PRO quarter panel bed stamping
    Unique interior seat color with red stitching
    Unique instrument panel ornament insert

    This “Taco Supreme” has some impressive wheels and suspension upgrades. Also, the 2″ front lift with increased wheel travel is a great addition.

    The Tacoma will get the standard features, plus what Toyota calls a “little hot sauce:”

    TRD-tuned springs with 2” lift for the front
    Decreased spring rate
    16-inch black beadlock-style wheels
    BFGoodrich® All-Terrain LT265/75R16 tires
    TRD Exhaust
    Black TRD PRO badge

    Toyota Unveils New TRD Pro Off-Road Package - 4Runner
    The TRD Pro 4Runner comes with an assortment of off-road goodies.
    TRD Pro 4Runner
    Last but not least, the 4Runner will be equipped with:

    1.5” lift for the front of the vehicle
    1” of additional wheel travel
    All-new 17-inch TRD all-black alloy wheels
    Black TRD Pro badges
    Black front and rear lower bumper accents
    Our Take
    While it would have been really cool to see Toyota come out with a so-called Raptor fighter, this truck package will probably the affordable alternative. Here are our top reasons why we think these packages are cool.

    1. Most after-market lift kits don’t increase wheel travel.

    To get additional front end wheel travel, you typically have to buy a new upper control arm and coil spring, and those kits cost $1,000+. To get more rear end wheel travel, you need a new leaf pack that also costs hundreds of dollars. Getting both stock from the factory is a big deal.

    2. The shocks are a really nice upgrade. Toyota’s engineers did the valve tuning, so you get a factory like ride in an upgraded shock that’s hard to buy off the shelf. The increased piston size means that you can get better performance without stiffening the ride. Our guess is that these shocks are a $200-$400 upgrade if you had to buy them after-market (and you probably can’t get a factory tuned off-road shock).

    3. Additionally, the external reservoirs on the shocks boost performance if/when people really hammer their trucks (only we doubt most of the people will be doing this).

    4. The Tundra TRD Pro has an “oil filter access panel.” It is nice that Toyota is FINALLY listening to its customers on this. In fact, Tim brought this up in Jackson Hole and surprised a few people on it. It is highly doubtful that his question at a regional Toyota event caused the access panel to be added, but, hey you never know!

    The TRD Pro series is expected to hit dealerships this fall. Pricing has not been announced.
