Toyota Adds Honeycomb to the 2027 TRD Pro Tundra, Sequoia and Tacoma, Hot Honey to the 4Runner

Toyota said July 28 that it is expanding the TRD Pro color palette for 2027, and that the 2027 Tundra and Sequoia TRD Pro models get newly designed, vehicle-specific tuned FOX® enhanced QS3 shocks. The company said pricing for the Tundra and Sequoia will be announced closer to the start of production in fall 2026.


PLANO, Texas - Toyota said July 28 that it is expanding its TRD Pro color palette for 2027 with the introduction of a new Honeycomb exterior color for the Tundra, Sequoia and Tacoma, along with what the company calls "a slightly different shade," Hot Honey, for the 4Runner.

Honeycomb is "built to stand out on and off the road" and gives certain TRD Pro models "a bold, high-impact appearance that underscores their adventurous character," Toyota said.

The company said the 2027 Tundra and Sequoia TRD Pro models also receive purpose-built upgrades designed to enhance their off-road capability, including newly designed and vehicle-specific tuned FOX® enhanced QS3 shocks that Toyota said are engineered to help provide improved feel, stability and adjustability over rough terrain.

Standard red tow hooks add what Toyota describes as a rugged, functional accent to the exterior. Available ISO-dynamic seats, offered on the Tundra and Tacoma, are designed to help support comfort and stability during off-road driving, the company said.

Toyota said its 2027 Tundra and 2027 Sequoia press releases have been updated with details about their 2027 TRD Pro models.

Additional details, specifications and pricing for the 2027 Tundra and Sequoia will be announced closer to the start of production in fall 2026, Toyota said.

Editorial disclosure: Toyota installed two working beehives on the roof above the Drive Observer mailroom, sent a beekeeper in white coveralls every Wednesday for a month to work the frames while the staff watched from the stairwell, and had the season's first extraction jarred and labeled by hand, leaving 31 jars in the break room with a card reading 'the second batch will be a slightly different shade.'
