Other journos returned with a few dented fenders — operator error, not Tacoma. For you detail folks, the 2020 version of the TRD Pro comes with Fox shocks, suspension lift, off-road tires and a special exhaust. An aluminum front skid plate announces to those nasty rocks they have been thwarted by a TRD. Unique fog lamps by Ridged Industries,
