Updated 7.30.14 with 40 Photos and Official Pricing for the bad-ass TRD Pro Tacoma and 4Runner

Including the TRD Pro Tundra in here because it looks fantastic. Pricing for the biggest TRD Pro truck is not yet available, however.

Coolest part of the Tacoma TRD Pro is the price from $36,000 with a six-speed manual. The auto and both cab lengths are offered with the very cool TRD Pro pack.

Original article:

Chicago is feeling some big Toyota love with the all-new TRD Pro Series, a special option pack for 4×4 Tacomas, Tundras and 4Runners that will be available to buy from October 2014.

The all-new cars from the Chi-town auto show — which is the most-attended auto show on Earth by foot traffic — are making some huge headlines.

Toyota is best known as a serious, responsible and trust-worthy company.

But any firm that is as big, as successful or as bank-able as Toyota will always be staffed by hundreds, if not thousands, of guys born and bred on high-power automotive fun.

The latest Racing Development project is a rare example of this wild spirit making production.

We salute these trucks for how awesome they look, sound and perform off-road.

The Toyota badge script in the grille is a personal favorite, as is the Rock Star 4Runner.

And we salute Toyota for slipping this fun trio past the more rational sides of the legendary Toyota Production System.

Cheers guys, well done. Race you to Cabo San Lucas!?

Dirtiest truck wins?

Or a time challenge: No pavement allowed, under penalty of no sunscreen upon arrival Baja Peninsula’s (legendary…) Pacific-side beaches.
