2015 Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro Double Cab review notes - AutoWeek
Toyota makes the Tacoma more adventure-ready with a TRD Pro model. ASSOCIATE EDITOR GRAHAM KOZAK: TRD trim or no, the Toyota Tacoma simply isn’t the nicest pickup truck on the market. But if you want to live out your “Back to the Future” fantasies with a most of the conveniences of a new truck (go on, I won’t judge), you’re just a roll bar and a lift kit and some black paint away from Marty McFly-dom. The Tacoma in general reminds me more of the Nissan Frontier than anything coming out of Detroit today -- it’s the smaller size, yes (the Chevrolet Colorado/GMC Canyon should shake things up), but also the lack of interior and ride refinement. From the plastics inside to the truck-like, trundling road feel, the Tacoma comes off as about 10 years old. this truck costs about $20,000 more than the base 2014 Tacoma. It almost seems to go without saying, but you’re only going to see the benefits of this truck if you live near, and regularly take advantage of, the sort of rugged terrain where you can enjoy its off-road features. I’m not sure that the TRD trucks have the same sort of built-in fanbase as Ford’s adrenaline-infused F-150s did, but maybe TRD’s. Source: autoweek.com
