2026 Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro Pickup, and it’s turning heads among truck fans. This midsize pickup keeps getting better, blending serious off-road skills with everyday comfort. It’s not a complete overhaul from last year, but the updates make it even more appealing for adventure seekers. With a bold new color and the same reliable build, the TRD Pro feels ready for anything – from muddy trails to highway drives.
First Look
2026 TRD Pro grabs attention with its aggressive stance. It has a heritage-style “TOYOTA” grille, blacked-out accents, and wider fenders that give it a muscular look. Toyota added an exclusive Wave Maker blue paint – a bright, eye-catching shade that’s only on the TRD Pro this year. LED headlights, fog lights, and rugged skid plates protect the underbody while adding to the tough vibe.
Powerful Engine
TRD Pro sticks with Toyota’s i-FORCE MAX hybrid system. It’s a 2.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine paired with an electric motor, pumping out 326 horsepower and a massive 465 lb-ft of torque. That’s plenty of grunt for quick acceleration, towing up to 6,000 pounds, or crawling over rocks.
The eight-speed automatic transmission shifts smoothly, and four-wheel drive comes standard. This setup makes the truck feel quick and responsive – whether merging on the freeway or tackling steep hills. Toyota focused on low-end torque, so it pulls strong from a stop without lagging. It’s a big step up in power from older Tacomas, making it fun to drive even when loaded down.
High-Tech Features
2026 TRD Pro is loaded with modern goodies that make life easier. A 14-inch touchscreen handles infotainment, with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for seamless phone integration. There’s a 10-speaker JBL audio system, complete with a removable portable Bluetooth speaker – perfect for campsites or tailgates.
Safety tech is top-notch with Toyota Safety Sense 3.0, including automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, and adaptive cruise control. Off-road extras like Multi-Terrain Select, Crawl Control, and an electronic locking rear differential help you conquer tough spots confidently. Special IsoDynamic performance seats in the front absorb bumps for better comfort on rough rides. A head-up display keeps key info in your view, and prewired auxiliary switches let you add lights or accessories easily.
Mileage
For a powerful off-road truck, the TRD Pro does well on fuel. Expect around 22 mpg in the city and 24 mpg on the highway, with a combined rating near 23 mpg. That’s solid considering the hybrid power and four-wheel drive. The system blends gas and electric smoothly, helping save a bit at the pump without sacrificing performance.
Price
The 2026 Tacoma TRD Pro starts at $64,350 (before fees and options). That’s premium pricing for the top trim, but you get a lot hybrid power, advanced suspension, and exclusive features. Add destination charges, and it could push closer to $65,000 or more with extras.
