Up next Snow Crusher: Polaris Switchback Adventure 800 Published on July 17, 2023 Author Tread Staff Tags Taco, taco accessories, Toyota Tacoma, TRD Sport, Share article Facebook 0 Twitter 0 Mail 0 ACCESSORIES FOR YOUR TACO. The new Toyota Tacoma is more than a head turner. So much so that I went shopping for one and then the dilemma struck. Crew cab? Check. Magnetic Gray Metallic paint? Maybe? Blue? Check! 3.5-liter V6? Present. Optional 2-inch receiver hitch? Ditto. Brand-spanking new with temporary tags and no license plate? Yes, even that, too. TRD Off-Road? Hang on a second. That one’s a TRD Sport.

And they cost exactly the same when the cab, engine, transmission and drive-type selections match. The differences boil down to things we can see here in the parking lot — mostly. The rear bumper end caps jump out immediately. They’re chrome on our TRD Off-Road and painted body-color on the Sport. The fender flare difference is subtle, owing to the particular color of these trucks. They again match the body color on the Sport, but a TRD Off-Road wears textured and unpainted black ones that are more resistant to stone chips and better at concealing the “desert stripe” you get from driving on narrow brush-covered trails.
