With the 2020 Chicago Auto Show ready to
open its doors later today, Toyota has expanded the Nightshade family with the
Tacoma, Tundra and Sequoia.
Joining the Camry, Corolla Sedan, Corolla
Hatch, 4Runner and Sienna Nightshade models, the special edition versions of
the two pickup trucks are limited to 5,000 units each, whereas production of
the SUV is capped at 2,500 examples.
Unlike most other Nightshade Editions,
which are based on the SE trim level, the Tacoma, Tundra and Sequoia are built
on the Limited upper spec. They stand out with the black exterior trim on the side
mirror caps and door handles, and darkened chrome grille.
Further updates include the addition of
the new grille insert design, black fog lamp bezels and exhaust tip, and
18-inch Dark Smoke alloy wheels on the Tacoma Nightshade. The Tundra Nightshade
comes with black wheels and exhaust tip, while the Sequoia Nightshade gets
darkened chrome badging, lower grille, fog lamp surrounds and body moldings.
All of them are available in Midnight
Black Metallic and Magnetic Gray Metallic paint finishes. The Tacoma and Tundra
can be had in the optional Windchill Pearl Look and for additional
customization, the Tundra can be ordered in Super White and the Sequoia in
Blizzard Pearl.
We’re still waiting for details
surrounding the pricing and launch date of each model, but they will probably
go on sale this summer, joining the Trail Edition versions of the Tacoma,
Tundra and 4Runner, and the Highlander XSE, all of which can be viewed at the
Chicago Auto Show.
