Anonymous
Key Points
1
Front-end refresh on the 2027 Tundra TRD Pro and Sequoia TRD Pro includes a new front bumper, revised front recovery points, and updated lighting (RIGID fog lamps).
2
The 4Runner TRD Pro uses a distinct Hot Honey shade because the 4Runner is an imported model, leading to a color difference from the Honeycomb used on the other TRD Pro variants.
3
QS3 shocks are described as Quick Switch 3 dampers with a three-position valve, allowing per-corner damping adjustments for varying terrain (and the adjustment can require under-vehicle access to twist the dial).
4
Pricing for the new Honeycomb and Hot Honey TRD Pro colors is expected to carry a premium similar to past vibrant TRD Pro hues, with references noting around a $695 premium.
Toyota is rolling out a bold new yellow called Honeycomb for its 2027 Tundra, Sequoia, and Tacoma TRD Pro models, while the 4Runner TRD Pro gets its own spin called Hot Honey Autoevolution. The color launch is just one part of a broader refresh that adds new shocks, a bigger infotainment screen, and revised front-end hardware across the TRD Pro lineup, with production set to begin in fall 2026 Motor1.
Two Shades of Yellow, One Big Reason Why
The Honeycomb and Hot Honey colors look similar but are not identical. Toyota gave the 4Runner its own shade because the 4Runner is an imported vehicle, which creates paint-matching limitations Carscoops. The other three models — Tundra, Sequoia, and Tacoma — are built domestically and share the same Honeycomb finish.
Past TRD Pro signature colors have carried a premium of around $695 over standard paint options The Torque Report. Buyers should expect Hot Honey and Honeycomb to follow that same pricing pattern when the trucks go on sale next year.
New FOX Shocks Let Drivers Tune Each Corner
Every 2027 TRD Pro model gets newly designed FOX QS3 shocks. QS3 stands for Quick Switch 3 — a damper with three settings that drivers can switch between for different terrain AutoGuide. Each corner of the truck can be adjusted separately, giving more control over how the suspension behaves on rocks, sand, or pavement.
There is one catch: adjusting the shocks requires getting under the vehicle to twist a dial The Torque Report. Toyota tuned the shocks differently for each model to match their individual weights and off-road profiles.
Front-End Overhaul Adds Recovery Points and RIGID Fog Lamps
The 2027 Tundra and Sequoia TRD Pro both receive a redesigned front bumper. The new bumper adds revised recovery points and RIGID-brand fog lamps Carscoops. Red tow hooks also come standard across the TRD Pro range, a visual upgrade that doubles as functional hardware for off-road recovery.
Available ISO-dynamic seats are also part of the package. These seats are designed to absorb impacts on rough terrain, keeping the driver more stable and comfortable AutoGuide. The changes reinforce Toyota's push to make TRD Pro trucks competitive on serious off-road trails, not just in parking lots.
Bigger Screen and Smarter Safety Tech Inside
Inside, every 2027 TRD Pro model gets a 14-inch center touchscreen display, up from smaller units in previous years Motor1. The upgrade brings the trucks in line with modern cabin expectations without softening their off-road identity.
Toyota also updated the driver-assist suite to TSS 4.0 — the latest version of Toyota Safety Sense Autoevolution. The system adds more refined lane-keeping, automatic emergency braking, and cruise control features. Toyota has also confirmed Trailhunter variants will continue for the Tundra and Sequoia, keeping a rugged, overlanding-focused option in the lineup alongside the TRD Pro.
