From the link: >>>"Next, the TRD Pro Tacoma, which Toyota playfully refers to as the Taco Supreme, gets exclusive 16-inch beadlock wheels and a TRD exhaust."<<<

These Toyota guys are sure having some fun, right? :biggrin:

How much does the TRD package cost?

I'm a little bummed with the new regular Tundra redesign. Was hoping for more.

The new Silverado is looking real nice.

Another inch of ground clearance?
My Off Road with stock 16" wheels had 9.25" min. ground clearance. I replaced the stock tires with 1" taller 265/75-16 tires and added 1/2 inch of ground clearance.

Hi Dave... I just watched it, and all 2 min. of it were fine.
Of interest, the FJ Cruiser is dropped so this Pro series on the three off road models will fill the gap: 4Runner, Tacoma, Tundra.

The video says the Tacoma wheels remain 16" with the Tundra having 18" and the 4Runner having 17".

Thanks DK. I've been looking at the 4runner to replace our FJ Cruiser, this might be just the thing I'm looking for. I hope they come in a color other than that hideous orange.

So does this new series replace the Tacoma Baja that was introduced a couple of years ago?

Isn't that the colors of the University of Texas Longhorns. Aren't most of these vehicles made in Texas with some Tacomas made in TJ.

Just now reading the thread on this over on Tacoma World.

It is the same as the Baja TX Pro, except for the new grille and stupid fake hood scoop.

Two other colors offered on the package, as well.

Got to love you guys and your trucks. It's like Politics, Religion and tires. As long as it get's me there and back it's good with me.:spingrin:
Most my issues with trucks are because of me not the truck.

Supposed to be the same as the Off Road, so yes to the locker and (even better) A-TRAC which works the front tires as well.
