Built for the most extreme desert racing, this
Tundra TRD Pro is headed to Vegas for the SEMA show November 4th through 7th.
Then it will truck down to the famous town of Ensenada, Mexico to compete in
the Full Size Stock class of the Baja 1000 taking place November 12th through
16th.
In case that trouble is more severe or the truck
just needs refueling, Toyota is bringing three additional support trucks;
another Tundra, a 4Runner, and a Tacoma, with all being TRD Pro editions. Each
is outfitted with numerous modifications to help deal with the harsh terrain
and case truck duties.
Under the Tundra TRD Pro Baja Truck’s hood sits a
5.7-liter V-8. A specialty air-intake system keeps the desert dust from clogging
airflow while specialty inner fender wells give a dressier appearance. The
remote reservoirs for the massive shocks are visible on the firewall and below
the air intake.
The Tundra’s plush cabin has been traded for a
no-nonsense place of business. A full roll cage protects three occupants seated
in race seats and buckled in with five-point safety harnesses.
The truck’s appearance looks stock but the large
BFGoodrich tires are a dead giveaway. The graphics and sponsorship logos also
let onlookers know this isn’t your average Toyota Tundra.
