Release of Toyota Tacoma trd Pro

       Review All-new just last year, Toyota's Tacoma has become an important part of the renaissance. As a mid-term sales leader, Tacoma is also the most famous denizen in this segment. And until recently, it was also the best indispensable truck in the market. Today, however, Tacoma finds itself under siege from resurrected rivals such as the newly-born Chevrolet Colorado / GMC Canyon twins and second-generation Honda Ridgeline, all of which provide refinement, interior, and fuel savings in a superior way. However, the legendary reputation of Tacoma for off-road sophistication and granite-like endurance is equally unshakable and the results of initial sales, so with the new TRD-Pro model-for-2017 seen here, Toyota wisely doubles Taco's ultimate advantage in business To counter competition .

With the TRD Sport and Off Road Tacoma model, the TRD Pro suspension gets much more impressive hardware, including a 2.5 inch Fox shock - one inch larger than Bilsteins found on siblings - featuring an aluminum body and an internal bypass design Which allows for more muffling as input power increases. Providing a 1 inch wheel wheel enhancement and works in conjunction with a model-specific progressive leaf springs spring, the Fox unit stands at the heart of TRD Pro's upgrade. They are equipped with 16-inch 16-inch reinforced 16-inch Goodyear Wrangler rubber stretches that extend front and rear wider tracks, accompanied by a quarter inch thick aluminum slip plate that helps keep the jagged bits on Earth from spoiling the fun. When you start getting dirty (the latter now inserts a clever trap door to simplify the oil change).

     According to chief engineer Mike Sweers, TRD Pro's technical brief is to improve the Tacoma facility for off-road high speed, a revelation that may tempt you to think that Toyota aims to create Ford R-speed rival Ford F-150 SV rivals. To some extent, that may be true, but the smaller truck's traces and unchanging powertrain show that few will compare the two, and in spending the day on the basis of off-road challenges in Hawaii, it becomes clear to me that trucks- This truck has a very different personality

Yes, I said "in Hawaii," and with good reason. You might expect sun worshipers like the Ford Mustang Convertible or a more mysterious car like the popular Honda Civic on the paradise island of America, and it is. But according to Toyota, Tacoma is not just Hawaii's best-selling truck, this is the 50th best-selling passenger vehicle in the 50th state, with 5,500 units sold last year, enough to make it more popular than Toyota Camry and Corolla itself. . Indeed, in Hawaii, there are truck tacos on every corner. Many farmers' hands were battered, some raised and wearing balloon tires, while others were lowered until they scratched their door frames on the ground. (Mini truck still in Aloha State, ya'll).

So our TRD Pro convoy is sure to fit, but most of the day our drive went off the street and not seen in Hana, where I found myself hovering beside the "racetrack" hillside doing the best Dukes of Maui impression; By carefully choosing your way through the rocky bed and walking through the dangerous 41 degrees of pumaceous class (picture up the black pebble that is too steep to pass, and you have it), among other dangers.
