Browse all trucksTRD Sport is a trim package on the Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport and the Toyota Tundra TRD Sport. It’s not the off-road version. It’s the street-leaning version with a hood scoop, sport-tuned suspension, painted bumpers, and bigger wheels.
In Nebraska, Tacoma TRD Sport is common. Tundra TRD Sport exists, but inventory is thinner and pricing overlaps heavily with SR5 and Limited trims.
2026 market numbers:
2017–2021 Tacoma TRD Sport with 80k–130k miles runs $22,000–$30,000 depending on condition and rust.
2018–2021 Tundra TRD Sport with 90k–140k miles runs $30,000–$40,000.
They sell faster than SR trims. Slower than TRD Pro. That’s the pattern I’ve seen in Omaha and Lincoln.
3.5L V6. 6-speed auto or manual. No factory rear locker like TRD Off-Road. Sport-tuned shocks. Hood scoop that does nothing functional.
Strong resale. In 2025 I sold a 2019 TRD Sport in Omaha with 104,000 miles for $26,400. It lasted 11 days on the lot.
Street ride is tighter than SR5. Handles better at highway speed on I-80. Less body roll.
Looks matter. Hood scoop and color-matched bumpers sell trucks. That’s reality.
Fuel economy same as other V6 Tacomas. Around 17–19 mpg mixed.
Parts availability is simple. Same drivetrain as lower trims.
No rear locking differential. In western Nebraska snow or muddy ranch roads, that matters.
Sport suspension is stiffer. On broken county roads outside Fremont, you’ll feel it.
Towing is unchanged. Around 6,400–6,800 lbs max. Real-world comfort closer to 5,000.
Payload often around 1,100–1,300 lbs. Add passengers and a 700-lb tongue weight and you’re pushing it.
Transmission still gear hunts. Toyota never fully fixed it in this generation.
Hood scoop is cosmetic. I’ve had buyers ask if it’s functional. It’s not.
2024 trade from a customer in Grand Island. 2018 TRD Sport. 118,000 miles. Used mainly for commuting and hauling a 4,000-lb fishing boat to Branched Oak.
Rear suspension sagged slightly from tongue weight over time. No locker meant he got stuck once in wet grass pulling the boat out. He upgraded tires. That helped, but it’s not the same as having a locking diff.
Truck still brought solid money at auction. Condition was clean. Service records were consistent.
Often 5.7L V8 in 2016–2021 models. Sport-tuned suspension. 20-inch wheels. Painted trim.
5.7L V8 is durable. I’ve seen them go past 250,000 miles in Nebraska fleets.
Ride is tighter than base SR5. Feels more controlled at highway speeds.
Towing capacity similar to other Tundras with same drivetrain. 9,000–10,000 lbs depending on configuration.
Strong demand in suburban Omaha. Buyers like the look without paying TRD Pro pricing.
Fuel economy is poor. 13–15 mpg mixed. 8–10 mpg towing a 7,000-lb camper.
20-inch wheels mean pricier tires. Full set runs $1,200–$1,600 depending on brand.
Sport suspension isn’t built for trails. It’s not an off-road setup. Skid protection is minimal compared to Off-Road trims.
Higher purchase price than SR5 with no increase in capability.
2023 sale in Lincoln. 2019 Tundra TRD Sport. 109,000 miles. Sold at $34,800. Customer used it to tow a 6,500-lb camper twice a year.
He liked the stance and highway stability. Hated the fuel stops. Averaged 14 mpg empty. That’s normal for this truck.
Insurance is standard for trim level. No major jump from SR5.
Fuel is the ongoing expense. Gas prices fluctuate, but V6 Tacoma and V8 Tundra both consume steadily.
Suspension components cost similar to base trims. Not Fox-level pricing like TRD Pro, but still not cheap if worn out past 100k miles.
Rust is not a massive issue in Nebraska compared to northern states, but undercarriage corrosion shows up on trucks driven on winter-treated roads around Omaha and Lincoln.
High-mile TRD Sport units over 160k drop in value faster than Pro trims. Badge helps. It doesn’t stop depreciation.
It’s appearance plus slightly firmer suspension.
It is not an off-road upgrade.
It is not a towing upgrade.
It does not improve fuel economy.
You’re paying for styling and highway feel. If you use it as a daily driver that occasionally tows a moderate load, it works fine.
If you expect it to behave like TRD Off-Road in mud or snow, it won’t.
