Toyota started the year off right with the 2018 Chicago Auto Show, where they unveiled their new line of off-road trucks. Once you see what all of these additions bring to the table, you’ll be setting aside the funds for a brand-new truck. Here’s everything you need to know about Toyota’s brand-new off-road trucks.
Tacoma TRD Pro
The Tacoma TRD Pro can tear up any road with its top-of-the-line additions. Toyota put a 278-horsepower, 3.5-liter V-6 engine under the hood that’s capable of powering the truck up virtually any grade. To give the engine the care it needs while preserving the rest of the vehicle, drivers will be able to add an available Desert Air Intake system that moves the engine air intake away from the wheel well — an area that normally gets clogged with dust and dirt during adventures.
Toyota has also upgraded the Tacoma’s performance with Fox shocks that have 46-millimeter pistons, as well as 2.5-inch rear shocks. To protect the vehicle, the TRD Pro also has an extra inch of front lift and a large front anti-roll bar.
Tundra TRD Pro
In addition to the 46 millimeter Fox shocks, the Tundra TRD Pro brings even more to the table. The Tundra’s suspension gains an extra 2 inches of lift, as opposed to the Tacoma’s 1 inch. Toyota also improved wheel travel by adding an inch and a half in the front and 2 inches in the rear.
With the Tundra TRD Pro, nothing will keep you from fun, not even the darkness. This full-size pickup uses Rigid Industries LED fog lights and headlights that will light up the night. To enjoy the outdoors even more, drivers will be able to add an available moonroof. And to top it all off, the Tundra also features 18-inch aluminum wheels with all-terrain tires.
4Runner TRD Pro
The 4Runner brings more comfort, luxury, and space to the off-road game. In addition to a front spring improved with an extra inch of lift and wheel travel, this off-road SUV protects its upgrades with dust boots around the shocks, a TRD roost shield guarding the inverted rear shocks, and a skid plate in the front that covers the suspension. For extra cargo capacity, the 2019 4Runner also adds a brand-new roof rack.
Every good adventure needs your favorite music. Since Toyota understands this about their drivers, they included the Entune Premium infotainment system that will allow drivers to connect straight to their smartphone applications.
The 4Runner TRD Pro, in addition to the Tundra and Tacoma TRD Pro models, comes equipped with Toyota’s Star Safety System. That system includes features that will protect its drivers, such as stability and traction control, smart stop technology, adaptive cruise control, automatic high beams, and much more.
The 4Runner, Tundra, and Tacoma TRD Pro models all work to craft the greatest adventures for off-road drivers. Toyota has provided more than a vehicle; they’ve provided a fresh, unique experience. Keep it here on Smart Toyota for more on the release of these 2019 models.
