Additional enhancements are on the way for the new 2022 Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro. It is one of the most popular pickup trucks in the United States, and Toyota is now ready to improve every aspect of its famous model. If the Tacoma Limited is too fancy for you and you like off-roading, the TRD Pro model is the answer you’re looking for.
In contrast to the other Tacoma versions, TRD Pro offers various mechanical upgrades, a more aggressive appearance, and a more luxury interior. The next-generation Tacoma is said to be on the way, but nothing has been confirmed yet. In any case, the Tacoma TRD Pro will certainly have several substantial improvements. As you probably know, Toyota relocated the production of the Tacoma to Mexico.
2022 Tacoma TRD Pro Exterior Changes and Colors
To begin, the dimensions of the forthcoming 2022 Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro will stay same. The classic mid-size pickup truck is 225.5 inches long and 70.6 inches tall. The Tacoma is also 75.2 inches wide and has a 140.6-inch wheelbase. Exterior changes will feature a restyled heritage grille, new headlights, and more aggressive bodywork.
In addition, Toyota will deliver changes in terms of exterior colors. The traditional Army Green exterior paint will be replaced with the new Lunar Rock exterior paint. Aside from that, the Tacoma TRD Pro will offer the following colors: Midnight Black, Silver Sky, Cement, Super White, Voodoo Blue, and Barcelona Red. Lastly, it seems like the new Lime exterior paint will be the highlight of the new Tacoma TRD Pro.
Interior
The manufacturer will surely deliver a lot of new features and optional packages. Some of the existing options, however, will be available in the 2022 Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro. The Advanced Technology Package is back on the table. This option includes additional safety features such as blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert. There’s also a mesh front grille and a multi-terrain monitor.
The Blackout Package is a popular option that features a blacked-out chrome exhaust tip, a blacked-out logo, and a darker overall appearance. The TRD Off-Road Premium package is the more expensive option. This package comes with larger displays, additional cameras, moonroof and automated headlamps.
The V6 Engine Won’t Gain Improvements
The same 3.5-liter V6 gasoline engine is available in the 2022 Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro once again. This output produces 278 horsepower and 265 lb-ft of torque, which is more than enough. It features a 6-speed automatic transmission and, for whatever reason, won’t be available with a manual gearbox.
The Tacoma TRD Pro comes standard with four-wheel drive and achieves 20 mpg combined. Finally, the Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro has a towing capacity of 6,500 pounds or slightly more. We do not anticipate any significant improvements in performance in the foreseeable future.
2022 Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro Launch Date, Price
The upcoming 2022 Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro will cost more than the current model. However, it is unknown if the next-generation Tacoma will be ready in 2022. It makes perfect logic, but it isn’t official yet. Anyway, the new TRD Pro model will set you back around $46,000. As previously reported, the Tacoma mid-size pickup truck is will be produced in Mexico rather than Texas.
