2015 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro: The Truck for Getting Into Trouble - The Fast Lane
The Toyota Racing Development moniker as applied to trucks has long been associated with Baja racing. Tacomas and Tundras dot the peninsula as pre-runners and chase vehicles, and often function as the base for a race vehicle. In the 2014 Baja 1000, Toyota entered a 2015 Tundra TRD Pro in the Stock Full class. Because if a stock Tundra TRD Pro can emerge victorious from one of the toughest off road races in the world, it can handle whatever trouble you, Joe and Jane Off Roader, manage to get yourself into. The TRD Pro package adds all the off road goodies. 5-inch Bilstein shocks with remote reservoirs add 1. 4 inches of wheel travel to the front, and 1. 5 inches in the rear over the standard Tundra. Specially tuned springs give the TRD Pro a 2 inch lift in the front, the better to show off the TRD front skid plate, with the added benefit of increasing the approach angle to 31 degrees, compared to 26 degrees in lesser models. The Tundra comes with Michelin off road tires on 18-inch wheels, but our test model arrived with 17-inch wheels wrapped in BF Goodrich 285/70 off road rubber. These easily gripped the Colorado mountain dirt and rocks in our testing, and would be one of the first swaps I would make. It easily handled rocks and sand, and scratched up a fairly sketchy rock section, all without airing down. Source: www.tfltruck.com
