The forthcoming 2023 Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro is expected to debut next year, with new colors, a slightly revamped exterior, and a revised suspension system. Toyota is the market leader in the mid-size class, and the next Tacoma TRD Pro seems to be a significant improvement over the previous version.
Compared to the previous model, this truck appears slightly higher and features redesigned wheels. The lower Trail Edition should also be available, which is a little less jacked up than the TRD Pro. Additionally, both versions will go on sale next year, most likely in the last quarter.
Exterior Redesign
The all-new Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro looks better than ever, thanks to a design that combines usefulness and rugged sportiness. Every part of this truck looks quite appealing. Compared to the previous generation, the new Tacoma has a more assertive front end, with a revised grille and the same modern headlamps.
The new model is significantly higher than the outgoing model and includes brand-new wheels. Interestingly, our sources indicate that it will ride on a brand-new platform shared with the full-size Tundra. The Toyota Tacoma is positioned below the full-size Tundra and alongside competitors such as the Ford Ranger and Chevrolet Colorado in terms of proportion.
Interior Refreshments
The interior of the 2023 Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro will be just as appealing as its predecessor. Toyota appears to be making some improvements to make this edition comfier. As before, the seating layout remains intact, and we can anticipate the TRD Pro model to accommodate five occupants. In general, there is sufficient legroom and headroom for people on the rear bench.
The latest Tacoma has a legroom of 42.8 inches, which is more than enough. Tech-wise, the TRD Pro will include almost the same list of standard and optional features. That means a 14.0-inch infotainment system with Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and a Wi-Fi hotspot is on the way.
Towing Capacity, Transmission
As previously stated, the 2023 Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro will go on sale along with the Trail Edition. According to existing information, both variants will employ a 3.5-liter V6 engine rated at 278 horsepower and 265 lb-ft of torque. As can be seen, this engine is quite powerful and is mated to a six-speed automatic gearbox.
On the other hand, we appreciate the choice of a six-speed manual transmission. Both variants are capable of towing up to 6380 pounds due to the engines above.
2023 Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro Release Date, Price
The upcoming Tacoma TRD Pro will go on sale later in 2022. Both TRD Pro and Trail Edition are available in only Double Cab versions and will be refurbished before reaching markets. Pricing will be slightly more than that of the 2021 models.
According to numerous sources, the TRD Pro variant should begin at $46,000, while the Trail Edition will cost below $40k. The Japanese automaker will introduce numerous changes, including new exterior paints.
