Toyota just dropped the 2025 Tacoma TRD Pro, and it’s turning heads among truck fans. This midsize pickup keeps the Tacoma’s tough reputation alive while adding fresh upgrades for off-road lovers. Built by Toyota Racing Development, it’s ready for trails, mountains, or just daily drives with a bit of edge.
First Look
Right off the bat, the TRD Pro looks mean and capable. Picture wider fenders, beefy Fox shocks, and 33-inch Goodyear Territory tires that grip anything. The front grille has that signature TRD flair, and inside, those new IsoDynamic seats absorb bumps like a pro—perfect for long hauls over rough terrain. Toyota showed it off in Hawaii, where pros like Travis Pastrana tested its limits on volcanic rocks and beaches. It’s not just pretty; it’s built to handle real abuse without breaking a sweat.
Power and Performance
Under the hood, the big news is the i-FORCE MAX hybrid engine—a 2.4-liter turbo four-cylinder paired with electric motors. It pumps out 326 horsepower and 465 pound-feet of torque, making it the strongest Tacoma yet. Hooked to an eight-speed automatic, it tows up to 6,500 pounds and gets about 22 miles per gallon city, 24 highway. For off-roading, you’ve got front and rear locking differentials, crawl control, and Multi-Terrain Select. It’s like Toyota took the best of gas power and hybrid efficiency and mashed them together for serious fun.
High-Tech Features
This truck doesn’t skimp on gadgets. The 14-inch touchscreen runs wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus navigation and a JBL audio system. A 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster lets you switch views for off-road stats or towing info. Safety shines with Toyota Safety Sense 3.0—think adaptive cruise, lane tracing, and blind-spot monitoring that works even with a trailer. The 3D Multi-Terrain Monitor uses cameras to show obstacles from all angles, and there’s a 2,400-watt AC inverter for powering tools or camping gear. It’s techy but not overwhelming, keeping the focus on driving.
Showroom Price
Pricing starts at around $64,135 for the base TRD Pro, but add options like the hybrid powertrain or premium packages, and it climbs toward $66,000 or more. That’s steep for a midsize truck, but you’re paying for top-tier off-road gear and that Toyota reliability. Dealerships have it now, so check local showrooms or toyota.com for deals. Fuel savings from the hybrid might offset the cost over time.
