Get ready for some serious off-road excitement! The #84 Tacoma TRD ProRunner Race Concept is revving up to steal the spotlight at SEMA, designed specifically to tackle the Stock Mid-Size off-road race class. Built on an XtraCab pickup, this beast blends style and capability like never before, fully loaded with components from the legendary Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro.

Let’s talk about that stunning exterior. Its head-turning Mudbath paint job and retro-inspired livery pay homage to the classic trucks of the past. Chrome mirrors and door handles add a dash of vintage flair, while an ARB sport bar and auxiliary lights hint at its adventurous spirit.

The truck rolls on brushed aluminum wheels, wrapped in tough BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/A tires—perfect for tackling any trail. And in the bed, you’ll find a spare tire and a dedicated fuel cell, with a lightweight net replacing the tailgate to keep things nimble. But the real magic happens beneath the surface. The suspension system in this concept fully equips it for the off-road race experience.

With TRD front upper control arms and FOX Quick Switch 3 Internal Bypass shocks featuring aluminum housings and rear remote reservoirs, it’s ready to handle whatever the terrain throws at it. Plus, a full suite of skid plates offers extra protection for those rocky adventures. Inside, the Tacoma doesn’t skimp on style or safety. The Tacoma's bold red SofTex seats are equipped with four-point harnesses, and a sturdy roll cage provides an additional layer of security, prioritizing safety above all else.

And let’s not forget the signature TRD Pro badging that ties everything together. While we’re still waiting for the juicy performance specs, we know the Tacoma TRD Pro packs an impressive i-Force Max powertrain. It combines a turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine with a 1.87 kWh nickel-metal hydride battery and an electric motor paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. All that tech translates to a thrilling 326 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque, ensuring this truck is ready to conquer the wild, both in style and power. So, buckle up—the Tacoma TRD ProRunner Race Concept is about to take the off-road scene by storm!
