The 2017 Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro is tricked out.

What's in the new Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro? Toyota's cutting-edge midsize pickup has been on everybody's mind ever since GM decided to make a bid for the Tacoma's audience with a tricked-out redesign of the Chevrolet Colorado and the GMC Canyon, both top competitors in their class. So Toyota has come back with a new TRD Pro to show these upstarts who's boss.

What Are The Features?
Even the base model TRD Pro has some great features. Every TRD Pro has Toyota's Entune entertainment system, rear-parking assist, blind-spot warnings and cross-traffic alerts. The steering wheel and seats are wrapped in leather, and the driver's display is in full color and comes with tilt and incline gauges.

Still, beyond that, if you get the TRD Pro, you're getting the best of everything, meaning the TRD Pro only comes in a double cab, in the off-road four-wheel-drive configuration. That means a shorter five-foot bed, as a result, so if you need a vehicle for off-roading and hauling, make sure anything you need to carry will fit in the back. One thing that is optional is that you've got a choice between a six-speed manual transmission or a seven-speed automatic.

You might want to look at the features on those transmissions, though. The automatic has the most toys to play with, including "Crawl Control," which is essentially cruise control, Hill-Start Assist, and a traction control system that lets you designate the terrain you're driving on for better control.

You'll find even more ruggedness when you crawl under the chassis. The TRD Pro has specialty-engineered coil springs, giving the suspension an extra inch of lift, and special leaf springs reduce the bumps of going off-road. The rear differential has an electronic lock, giving you traction when needed, and it even has a 130 amp alternator to keep your phone charged while going off-road. And, of course, it's got the TRD Pro badging everywhere, from the back of the truck to the shifter knob to the seats. The only downside is that if you want a flashy paint job, you'll have to cover it yourself. The TRD Pro only comes in Cement, Super White, and Barcelona Red Metallic.

The Tacoma TRD Pro is a powerhouse in the high-end pickup market.

What'll It Cost?
The main question for TRD Pro fans is just how much this beast of a truck will set them back. The MSRP for a 2017 Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro is $40,760, a pretty penny. A 2016 Tacoma with similar bells and whistles will run you roughly $33,000, and past TRD Pros have had a premium above that model, usually running $37,000. The $40,760 price tag is hard to swallow for many car consumers, but the truck's features make it a compelling option.

So should you buy it? Make no mistake, the Tacoma TRD Pro is decidedly the closest trucks get to luxury vehicles. But if you want a fancy car that can take on any terrain, the Tacoma TRD Pro looks to continue being the best choice out there. To find yours, subscribe to get alerts on vehicles in your area.
