Toyota will give us a Tacoma Toyota Racing Development (TRD) T|X (Tacoma Extreme) limited edition pickup at next week's SEMA event, with the vehicle's market launch set to take place in late spring next year.
Toyota has a rich Baja racing truck history and this model makes full use of it, promising to be an example of ruggedness.
The automotive producer will offer the vehicle in both Access and Double Cab configruations and is also considering including PreRunner models in the deal.
“The Tacoma has long been the sales leader by a wide margin in the compact pickup segment thanks to its well-earned reputation for stellar quality, durability, reliability and off-road capability,” said Bob Carter, group vice president and general manager, Toyota Division. “The limited edition TRD T|X Baja Series adds another chapter to Toyota’s truck legacy by offering a new level of capability for off-road enthusiasts.”
