2020 Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro
Typically, pickup trucks don’t come much tougher than Toyota’s Tacoma, unless of course they’ve been afforded the TRD Pro treatment. Combing ruggedness and reliability, for more than a decade, the Tacoma has been the nation’s most successful mid-size pickup, so this is one of the most awaited additions to the brand’s latest Off-Road Series.

2020 Toyota Camry and Avalon TRD
It’s big, bold, exciting news from Toyota with the announcement that the Camry and Avalon will be receiving the TRD treatment. TRD, of course, stands for Toyota Racing Development, a four-decade-old (yes, really!) in-house super-tuning arm that has previously left most of its off-road motor sport competitors choking on clouds of smug dust.

2020 Land Rover Defender
The 2020 Land Rover Defender is here and it looks hella good. After a short hiatus, the Defender returns with modern styling and tech while still keeping the boxy silhouette it shares with the previous edition. Unlike the original body-on-frame truck, the 2020 Defender is built on an aluminum unibody chassis and rides on a fully independent suspension. Inside, the Defender gets a digital instrument cluster and a cabin trimmed in upscale materials like leather and wood. Although the four-door …cotinue reading
