(from Toyota Press
Release) TRD TACOMA X-RUNNER CONCEPT
The Toyota Racing
Development (TRD) X-Runner concept explores the boundaries of sport
truck power and performance. The TRD X-Runner adds several newly
designed and developed components and a carefully tuned chassis,
taking the truck to new levels of performance and styling.
Power has been increased
dramatically by modifying and upgrading the standard 4.0-liter DOHC
VVT-i V6 and adding a new TRD designed supercharger and intercooler
package. The supercharger features an Eaton Roots-type supercharger
with an integrated air-to-liquid intercooler. Performance is further
enhanced by a fully functional hood scoop.
TRD modified the
internal engine components with new pistons, connecting rods,
camshafts and other equipment to provide 400 horsepower and 350
lb.-ft. torque, a boost of over 160 horsepower and 80 lb.-ft.
torque. The engine is mated to the Tacoma six-speed manual
transmission, using a special Kaiten billet steel flywheel that is
30-percent lighter than stock, along with a heavy-duty ceramic
metallic Aisin clutch. DC Sports custom fabricated the true-dual
polished stainless side-exit exhaust system.
The chassis received
detailed attention to achieve optimum balance and handling,
including lowered ride height and added underbody aerodynamic
components.
The exterior styling
compliments the underbody aerodynamic improvements and features a
new aggressively styled front bumper fascia and grille. New body
side molding components carry the aggressive look of the front
fascia and incorporate new full-length rocker panels with integrated
side-exit exhaust. A special rear valance/bumper assembly mates with
a functional underbody aero diffuser element. Headlight and
taillight assemblies have been modified with LED lighting. A
color-keyed hard tonneau cover with an integral rear spoiler
completes the styling concept.
Inside, the vehicle
incorporates several enhancements that compliment the TRD X-Runner’s
theme of performance and styling. TRD Recaro Sport Seats with
matching door inserts are used along with a smaller TRD steering
wheel. Body stiffness is improved with a four point interior roll
bar behind the seats. Function is added with a multi-function TRD
digital display with integrated shift light and programmable data
logging. The sound system is enhanced with an Alpine 5.1 Multi-Media
Audio System with iPod capability, xM Satellite Radio and DVD
navigation. A custom rear cargo compartment and audio enclosure
complete the interior enhancements.
