Fans of the new 2012 Toyota Tacoma design can now get more information on a limited-edition Tacoma truck that got shown off September 29 at the 2011 Texas State Fair. This truck is called the Tacoma Toyota Racing Development or TRD, Tacoma Extreme (or T/X) Baja, and features a series of changes meant to enhance the truck’s off-road capabilities. This limited edition model name is quite a mouthful, and represents some significant unique engineering for helping this truck perform anywhere it happens to be.
The 2012 Tacoma TRD T/X Baja truck gets Bilstein racing shocks, 60mm on the front and 50mm on the back, which leads to an inch and a half increase in wheel travel for some of the bumpy tracks off-roaders might visit in this high-performance vehicle. The truck will run on a 4 liter V6 engine with a six speed manual or five speed automatic transmission. As for new driving technology, the Tacoma TRD T/X Baja will get active traction control, hill start assist and downhill assist features, as well as a modified exhaust system, off-road wheels and more for outfitting this tough terrain racer.
As part of the new 2012 Toyota Tacoma line, the TRD T/X Baja will also get a substantial redesign. For this model year, Toyota restyled the hood and grille of the truck, along with the front bumper and headlights. There’s also an updated interior with a central instrument cluster, more AC controls and a restyled steering wheel. Other interior changes include a new look for the center console, with new door trim also added to the new truck.
Even for those who don’t select a limited-edition off-road truck, the 2012 Toyota Tacoma promises a great deal of new comfort and convenience features for the road ahead.
