It has been a long wait, people. With the 2016 redesign of the Toyota Tacoma, which looks and behaves sportier than ever, we've been hoping that the TRD Pro edition would make a return. Last seen in the 2015 model year, the Tacoma TRD Pro trumps the currently available Tacoma TRD Off-Road package in off-road performance.
After skipping a model year, we are finally getting a glimpse at the 2017 Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro.
What makes the TRD Pro series a favorite among enthusiasts? The answer lies mainly in its shocks.
The TRD-tuned Fox shocks on the Tacoma TRD Pro are 55 percent larger than those on the Tacoma TRD Off-Road, with a 23 percent larger piston circumference. The spring rates have also been specifically tuned.
All this means less overheating, and less shock-fade, so you can make faster runs through hot desert terrain.
The 2017 Tacoma TRD Pro will be available through dealerships like Concord Toyota starting this fall. Until then, keep your current truck at peak-performance with a service appointment, or get a head start on a financing application and see what new car loans you are eligible for.
