SPONSORED: What is a TRD package, and what does it mean for your 2022 Toyota?

TRD

When you think of off-roading and Toyotas, it’s highly likely that you think of TRD, or Toyota Racing Development. However, if you’re not sure what TRD is and how it can affect your drive time, Toyota of North Charlotte is here to help - check out this quick guide on what TRD is and what it means for your new 2022 Toyota. 

TRD packages explained 

As noted, TRD, stands for Toyota Racing Development. This in-house tuning shop was founded in 1979 to improve performance in Toyota’s vehicles and make them more exciting to drive. Since then, it’s evolved into a globally renowned speed shop, aftermarkets part distributor, support for global wide racing efforts, and an accomplished engineering company that works to make everyday vehicles more thrilled and performance-driven (while still maintaining practicality and affordability). 

Long story short, TRD is all about performance and unique aesthetics. As of 2022, here are the new Toyotas you’ll be able to find special TRD packages on: 

  • Toyota RAV4
  • Toyota Tacoma
  • Toyota Tundra
  • Toyota Sequoia

  • Toyota Camry
  • Toyota Avalon 

Obviously, you’ve got choices. Now let’s break down what you can expect from each 2022 TRD package on these N Charlotte Toyotas.
