An earlier teaser has hinted that this element is a small scoop, adding a touch of sportiness to the truck's overall design. In addition, the other pickup truck featured in the teaser seems to have a dark blue or black exterior. Drawing attention on its side is a glossy element along the cargo bed, possibly serving as a stylish style bar.

Notably, the image showcases the truck's commanding presence, accentuated by its substantial fender flares and an eye-catching hood scoop. These distinctive features strongly suggest that this particular variant of the new Tacoma aims to deliver a more rugged driving experience. In line with this, it is rumored that Toyota will offer the highly anticipated TRD Pro version, renowned for its exceptional off-road capabilities, as well as an exciting new Trailhunter edition. With these options on the horizon, the Tacoma is poised to cater to adventure enthusiasts and those seeking an elevated level of performance.
