Toyota Wants You To Get Dirty With The TRD Pro Series

If you’re an offroad enthusiast, you already know what TRD is. Toyota Racing Development is the company’s factory-tuned gear for their vehicles and is most well known for its excellent offroad and off-track gear for four-by-fours like the Tundra, Tacoma, and 4Runner. Now, for the 2015 model year, TRD has announced the new TRD Pro Series for the new lineup of TRD Pro Series vehicles coming in 2015.

Many of these offerings are old favorites from the TRD lineup, others are a new take on those concepts while still more are all-new. Here’s a look at the 2015 TRD Pro Series lineup of goodies and some of the awesome packages they’re creating with them.

The provenance for the TRD offroad series starts in 1998 when the 4Runner was king of the trail-ready SUVs and the Tacoma was a new brand (taking over from the SR5 pickup truck series). While most TRD packages had been previous engineered for racing on the track (TRD began in 1979), it was when the TRD nameplate began to be added to the offroad packages of the Tacoma that it became a household name for enthusiasts.

Since then, it’s only grown and is now the most-likely package option to be added to the Tundra, Tacoma and 4Runner at purchase.

All 4×4 models of the 2015 Toyota Tundra, Tacoma, and 4Runner with the TRD Pro Series packaging will include:

• TRD-spec Bilstein shocks with remote reservoirs

• Retro front grille with TOYOTA badging
• TRD floor mats
• TRD shift knobs
