Shop the Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport in Ames, IA
The TRD Sport is the Tacoma for someone who wants the truck to look right and drive well on pavement, and who is honest with themselves about how often it leaves it. It is the street-tuned member of the family: firmer suspension, a lower stance, and the sharper exterior treatment that makes it the best-looking Tacoma on the lot to a lot of buyers.
That tune is a real choice rather than a cosmetic one. Lowering a truck and firming the damping makes it more settled on US-30 and less busy on the highway run down I-35, and it costs you ground clearance and some compliance on a washboard gravel road. If your week is mostly paved miles with a trailer a few times a season, that is a trade worth making. If your Saturday involves a soft field entrance, it is not, and the TRD Off-Road is the truck to look at instead.
Mechanically it is the same strong package as the rest of the range in SR5 and above: the 2.4L turbocharged i-FORCE at 278 horsepower and 317 lb-ft, with a properly configured non-hybrid Tacoma rated to tow up to 6,500 lbs. You are choosing character here, not capability, which is why this trim tends to come down to a test drive more than a spec sheet.

Recent graduates should look at the Toyota College Graduate Rebate, and eligible military families at the Toyota Military Rebate. ToyotaCare takes care of scheduled maintenance for two years.
Finance or Lease a TRD Sport
This is the Tacoma we lease most often, because buyers drawn to the styling tend to replace vehicles on a shorter cycle and a lease fits that honestly. Compare both ways before deciding: estimate a payment with the payment calculator, get pre-approved, and value your trade so the numbers in front of you are real. We will lay the purchase and the lease side by side rather than pushing one.

Buying a Tacoma TRD Sport at Wilson Toyota of Ames: Common Questions
What makes the TRD Sport different from the SR5?
Suspension tune and styling. The TRD Sport lowers the truck and firms it up for road manners, and adds the sportier exterior treatment. Equipment overlaps heavily with the SR5, so the decision is mostly about how you want the truck to look and feel rather than what it can carry. Our Tacoma trim comparison walks through the differences.
Is the lowered suspension a problem in an Iowa winter?
Not on plowed roads, and four-wheel drive covers traction. Where you notice it is deep unplowed snow and rutted gravel, where the extra clearance of an SR5 or TRD Off-Road is genuinely useful. It is worth being realistic about which of those you actually drive in January.
Can I trade in my current vehicle toward a TRD Sport?
Start with an online trade estimate and you will have a number in a few minutes. We accept any make or model, and you do not need to be trading a truck; plenty of TRD Sport buyers come out of a car or a crossover.
Does a lease make sense on a TRD Sport?
Often, yes. This is the Tacoma we lease most, because buyers drawn to the styling tend to replace vehicles on a shorter cycle. Complete the secure finance application and ask us to price the purchase and the lease side by side rather than picking one for you.
Can I drive a TRD Sport and an SR5 back to back?
That is the right way to shop this trim, and yes. Schedule a test drive and ask for both. The difference is suspension tune and ride height rather than equipment, so it is something you feel in ten minutes and cannot read off a spec sheet.
Can you find a TRD Sport in a specific colour?
Usually. This trim sells on how it looks, so colour is the request we get most. Tell us what you are looking for and we will tell you honestly whether it is on the ground, inbound, or an order, and roughly how long each of those takes.
Towing capacity varies by configuration; never exceed the limits listed on your vehicle. Horsepower and torque ratings are manufacturer figures for the current model year and apply to SR5 and above. Offers subject to change; see dealer for current program eligibility.
