Toyota has given its Tundra and Sequoia new TRD Sport variants for model year 2018, milking the trend for butch, off-road look trucks. The big pick-up truck and the full-size SUV based on it receive sportier styling and performance from Toyota Racing Development.
The Tundra TRD Sport is available on 4×4 and 4×2 grades in CrewMax and Double Cab configurations, powered by the proven 381 hp 5.7 litre i-Force V8 engine. TRD Sport Tuned Bilstein shocks and TRD front and rear anti-sway bars improve handling.
Key exterior features include colour-keyed mirrors, front and rear bumpers; colour-keyed hood scoop; 20-inch alloys, LED headlights with smoked chrome bezel, DRLs and LED fog lights; mesh grille with body colour surround and TRD Sport bedside graphics. A TRD shift knob and TRD Sport floor mats can be found in the cabin.
All 2018 Tundras get Toyota Safety Sense (TSS-P) as standard. This safety suite bundles a Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Alert, Auto High Beams and Dynamic Radar Cruise Control. Drivers can view the status of TSS-P through an upgraded multi-info display.
Like the truck, the 2018 Toyota Sequoia TRD Sport is also available in 4×4 and 4×2 models equipped with the 5.7L i-Force V8 engine, helped by the Bilstein shocks and anti-sway bars.
Key exterior features on the TRD Sport include a new front grille and bumper grille insert, metallic black mirror caps, 20-inch black alloys, darkened rear tail light housing and a black satin finish TRD Sport badging on the front doors. Inside, there’s standard black fabric seats, optional black leather captain chair seats, a TRD shift knob, TRD Sport floor mats and TRD Sport sill protectors.
TSS-P will be standard on all Sequoia models, along with full front LED lighting, a new meter panel and a 4.2-inch MID. The Tundra and Sequoia are the big T’s rivals to the Ford F-150 and Expedition, respectively.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
4 cylinder in line NA engine, 16 valve fuel injection technology with 4 speed super ECT transmission. Single airbag and no VSC. The Toyota trademark. No wonder Volkswagen took the throne from Toyota. You can only find Toyota cars in the stockyard and used car dealers. So many unsold Camry and Altis in the second car dealers.
TRD pipu must feel very shameful now, their racing legacy becomes ah beng & bodykit legacy
