TRD Tundra Double Cab

Designers at Toyota Racing Development present a project closer to home: the Tundra Double Cab Off-Road Concept And Trailer. Based off a standard 6.5-feet truck bed, the Tundra is a showcase of TRD products that combine to give the ability to tow a large trailer, similar to those used in motorsport but which at SEMA will show visitors a variety of products in a new light.

The Tundra's 5.7-litre V8 engine has been given the supercharged treatment, with TRD's new supercharger and integrated liquid-to-air intercooling system boosting output to 500 hp.

The principle changes to the body are the styling of more aggressive front and rear fascias as well as new five-inch wider side fenders that complement the form of the truck's accompanying 28-foot long custom Featherlite trailer. To facilitate towing, the rear also gains a trailer hitch.

Inside (the trailer), SEMA visitors can get a look at the internal workings of Toyota Racing Development technologies such as the latest TRD superchargers and limited-slip differentials, see the latest wheel designs or be shown how the Off-Road Concept Tundra was born.
