Although Toyota Racing Development (TRD) was officially born more than 40 years ago, Toyota created the precursor to what would become TRD 20 years earlier as its motorsports division. With many records set and trophy wins by drivers over the ensuing decades, Toyota recognized that it could leverage its motorsports brand and develop performance-oriented accessories for its vehicles. Toyota eventually added the TRD trim to its vehicles.
There are Four TRD Variants
Avalon TRD and Camry TRD, which expands on the sports-themed SE and XSE trims on both models. These models sport beefed-up suspension, brakes, and black paint treatments. The TRD Sport (Tacoma, and Sequoia), this trim substantially improves on-road handling and is marked by impressive sporty styling. TRD Off-Road is available on the RAV4, Tacoma, and 4Runner, and combines comfort and letting you experience dirt, mud, and sand. The Tundra, Sequoia, 4Runner, and Tacoma can get the TRD Pro trim, which brings the toughness, and power you seriously need when there are no trails.
