by Toyota updates the TRD Pro lineup for 2027: new colors and improved suspension
Toyota has introduced a new signature color for its TRD Pro pickups and SUVs — a shade called HoneyComb, which will appear on the 2027 Tundra, Sequoia, and Tacoma models. For the 4Runner TRD Pro, a separate variant — Hot Honey — has been developed.
According to company representatives, the new paint gives TRD Pro models
“a bold, striking look that highlights their adventurous character”
. One can only hope that bears and bees will appreciate such a design.
Chassis updates for full-size models
In addition to new colors, the full-size pickup and SUV have received several off-road enhancements. The Tundra TRD Pro and Sequoia TRD Pro are equipped with FOX Enhanced QS3 shock absorbers, tuned separately for each model. The adjustable dampers are designed to improve feedback and stability on rough terrain. Toyota has also made red tow hooks standard equipment.
Powertrain unchanged
Under the hood, nothing has changed: the Tundra and Sequoia TRD Pro continue to use the i-Force MAX hybrid system. It combines a 3.4-liter twin-turbo V6 with a single electric motor, producing a total of 437 hp (326 kW / 443 PS) and 790 Nm of torque.
Prices for the 2027 Toyota TRD Pro lineup will be announced closer to the start of production, scheduled for autumn 2026.
Production and other innovations
The TRD Pro updates follow the unveiling of the updated 2027 Sequoia and Tundra. Both models received a new Trailhunter trim, standard 14-inch touchscreens, and the Toyota Safety Sense 4.0 system. Full-size vehicles are produced in San Antonio, Texas. Toyota is also preparing to move Tacoma production from Mexico to Texas, starting in 2030.
New colors and technical improvements make the TRD Pro even more attractive for outdoor enthusiasts. The updated suspension and vibrant shades are expected to attract buyers looking not only for off-road capability but also individual style. It is worth noting that the hybrid powertrain remains unchanged, which can be both an advantage (proven reliability) and a disadvantage (competitors offer more diverse options). The relocation of Tacoma production to the United States indicates a localization strategy and may affect the model’s price in the future.
