2017 Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro Performance Capabilities

When you’re looking for a midsize pickup truck that can do more than carrying around a small load of stuff, the Toyota Tacoma is here to help. Thanks to rugged four-wheel drive and commanding V6 performance, this pickup goes above and beyond the competition. Now, Toyota is taking this truck to the next level with the 2017 Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro performance package, which transforms the Tacoma into a vehicle that’s genuinely capable of tackling serious off-road conditions with ease. Find out what the TRD Pro package includes and see how it can take you off the beaten path.

Off-Road Performance Capabilities

The 2017 Tacoma TRD Pro has been designed to offer unprecedented off-road capabilities for the small and midsize pickup truck segment. This begins with its rugged chassis and four-wheel drive (4×4) system. You’ll also get Goodyear Wrangler All-Terrain Kevlar-reinforced tires and a TRD Pro aluminum front skid plate. Also included are TRD-specific suspension and exhaust enhancements, such as FOX 2.5 Internal Bypass shocks, TRD-tuned front springs with a one-inch lift, and a TRD-tuned rear suspension with a progressive-rate off-road leaf spring. Finally, you’ll get an electronic transfer case and an electronic automatic limited-slip differential.

Powertrain Performance

Like other versions of high-performance 2017 Toyota Tacoma models, the upcoming TRD Pro will come powered by a 3.5L V6 engine and your option of a six-speed manual transmission with a clutch start/stop feature or a six-speed automatic transmission. Look for this vehicle’s powertrain to have a total output of around 278 hp and 265 lb-ft of torque, and fuel economy numbers around 23 mpg highway and 18 mpg city. The V6 Tow Package with a Class-IV towing receiver hitch and a trailer-sway control makes the upcoming Tacoma TRD Pro and excellent choice for towing as well.

Anticipating the 2017 Toyota 86 Release Date

Fans of the recently discontinued Scion FR-S will be pleased to know that the sports coupe is returning under a different name. Until now, the Toyota 86 was essentially the same car as the FR-S but only offered for sale in Japan. It will soon be available on the American market and will feature the style, performance, and fun that drivers came to love about the much-missed FR-S, along with some added perks. In advance of the 2017 Toyota 86 release date this fall, learn what to expect from this sporty little car.

Style

The look of the 2017 Toyota 86 has been updated and now features LED headlights and taillights, as well as a modified front and rear end. This new design is bold to say the least, and it features a lot more accents and flourishes than drivers are used to seeing from Toyota models. If you’re looking for a car that makes a statement anywhere and everywhere it rolls, expect the new Toyota 86 to make that statement loudly.

Performance

Total performance output has also been improved. Under the hood, you’ll find a turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder that produces 205 hp and 158 lb-ft of torque. Those numbers are up by 5 hp and 8 lb-ft over last year’s FR-S. The engine is paired with a six-speed manual transmission for greater driver control, and thanks to the small size and finely retuned suspension, the Toyota 86 should deliver a thrilling driving experience on winding roads.

Interior

The 2017 Toyota 86 will sport an upscale cabin highlighted by Toyota Grandlux material on the instrument panel and door trim. The plush front seats will be accented by silver contrast stitching, and the new sport steering wheel will incorporate audio and cruise controls. Other features to get excited about include HD radio, Bluetooth connectivity, remote keyless entry, and a remote trunk release.

The 2017 Toyota 86 Release Date is Right Around the Corner

It won’t be long before you’ll be able to climb behind the wheel of this car and put it to the test on the road. When you’re ready to take the test drive of your life, head to Little Apple Toyota Honda at 2828 Amherst Avenue, Manhattan, KS. Contact our team to find out when it’s going to arrive.
