SAN DIEGO — The 2024 Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro presents a lot of things to talk about, but No. 1 has to be the seats, right? In case you haven’t seen them, the “IsoDynamic” seats in the new TRD Pro have two red shocks on the back, complete with little pressure gauges, in a serious-looking frame with carbon trim and exposed hex bolts. They look incredibly cool; I can totally see someone paying extra for the TRD Pro just to have a truck with seats that look like that.
Les Betchner was one of the off-road driving experts on hand to make sure journalists wouldn’t do anything stupid, while also egging on others to gun it on a pock-marked, rock-strewn disaster of a road with a looming jump. That’s not the only manually operated switch aboard the 2024 TRD Pro that makes for more customized off-roading. Take a look under the front suspension, and you’ll notice the little knob poking out from those Fox QS3 shocks you can turn to levels 1, 2 or 3. This “Quick Switch 3” manual adjustment of compression damping basically lets you set the firmness of the shocks to match the terrain.
Toyota Tacoma Trailhunter front three quarter on rocks View 29 Photos While the TRD Pro sends itself in the direction of high-speed desert running, Toyota has introduced the 2024 Tacoma Trailhunter for those more interested in rock crawling and overlanding in particular. It too comes standard with the high-powered hybrid, locking rear diff, disconnecting stabilizer bar and 33-inch tires , but differs with its suspension.
The on-road drive was actually more telling. There was indeed more wiggling and jiggling without the fancy seats, but the Tacoma Trailhunter is still a nice riding truck with a tidy size better suited to more congested suburban roads and highways. Once again, the power on tap impressed, but while the TRD Pro provides some audible sizzle with its TRD intake and exhaust, the Trailhunter has something entirely different.
