Source: A new Toyota Tacoma is coming to Chicago

Wow....I hope it's true. Would love to see a Taco TRD Pro added to the line up.

Looks like the area behind the scoop has some sort of black vinyl or matte black paint. I get some glare off my hood scoop; I wonder how functional this will be. If it is really functional, it is great that it is being added.

Quite a few people on the forum had added matte black vinyl to that area of the scoop or even the whole hood.

Definitely, people say it helps.

I think my comment was a unclear upon re-reading it; I was wondering if the matte area on the new TRD PRO would be functional or if it will be more for style.

Totally functional when people do it on their own, but it may be just style and looks on the TRD PRO....kinda like the hood scoop itself ;o) (not that there is anything wrong with that).

the current standard sport tacoma has this same vinyl as an option, i believe its 116$ option. not sure what the advantages are other than looks (which imho doesn't look good)

I actually did it on the hood of my 4runner due to the roof mounted light bar. Significantly cuts back on glare.

Definitely the corolla pro

Will anybody be at the show today for the reveal? Be great if we could get pics posted.

Leaked!





The Tacoma TRD PRO is based off a Tacoma TRD Off-Road 4×4 Double Cab Short Bed in either a 6-speed manual or automatic. It will be available in three colors: Cement, Barcelona Red Metallic, and Super White and each truck will feature several exterior upgrades like:
16-inch TRD black alloy wheels with Goodyear Wrangler® All-Terrain Kevlar®-reinforced tires
TRD Pro aluminum front skid plate
Rigid Industries® LED fog lights
Projector-beam headlights with black bezels, LED Daytime Running Lights (DRL), and auto on/off feature
Taillights with black bezels
TRD Pro badge on front door with diamond-pattern knurled finish
Black TRD Pro and 4×4 rear tailgate badging
Plus, each Tacoma TRD Pro will also come equipped with a heritage-inspired TOYOTA front grille with color-keyed surround, blacked out hood scoop and graphic, color-keyed power outside mirrors with turn signal indicators, color-keyed door handles, black overfenders, and a color-keyed rear bumper.

On the inside, Toyota added an integrated inclinometer and tilt gauge. Plus, each Tacoma TRD PRO comes with:

Black TRD Pro leather-trimmed heated front seats with TRD Pro logo located in the headrest
4-way adjustable driver’s seat with lumbar support and 4-way adjustable front passenger seat
EntuneTM Premium Audio with Integrated Navigation and App Suite
TRD shift knob
TRD Pro floor mats
Leather-trimmed tilt/telescopic steering wheel with audio and Bluetooth® hands-free phone controls
Rear parking assist sonar
Blind Spot Monitor (BSM) and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert (RCTA)

The GoPro mount will also be a part of the TRD PRO.

While the powertrain, CRAWL control, Multi-terrain Select system, trailer sway control and locking rear differential, among other features, are carried over from other Tacoma models, Toyota ramps up the “bad ass” nature of the TRD PRO by adding:

FOX 2.5 Internal Bypass shocks tuned by TRD
TRD-tuned front springs with a 1-inch lift
TRD-tuned rear suspension with progressive-rate off-road leaf spring
No word on pricing as of yet. The new 2017 Toyota Tacoma TRD PRO will at dealers this fall.

I am glad to see them offer more options on the Tacoma TRD Pro vs. 4Runner TRD Pro. Granted the Tacoma is newer and has more options, but being able to get leather seats, rear cross traffic with blind spot monitor, parking assist, etc. is really nice.

Only thing that I wish was available on TRD Pros that I haven't seen yet is JBL Audio.
