Toyota Tundra TRD Desert Racer May Preview a Future Raptor Fighter

It seems just about every automotive brand with a full-size truck in its lineup wants a piece of the Ford F-150 Raptor’s pie. Ram has the mighty 1500 TRX, Chevy’s expanding its off-road-oriented ZR2 trim to the Silverado 1500 for 2022, and GMC is adding an even harder-core AT4X trim to the 2022 Sierra 1500 model line.

If Toyota ultimately decides to enter the Baja-truck-inspired rat race, then the brand is likely to use the TRD Desert Racer concept as a template, according to a report from The Drive. We wager this includes the likes of the show truck’s TRD-sourced suspension upgrades, widebody kit, and 37-inch all-terrain tires. Whether the TRD Desert Racer concept’s General Tire Grabber X3 rubber and Method Race Wheels–supplied 18-inch wheels get the green light is a different story. Nevertheless, we’re sure Toyota plans to put proper tires and a special set of wheels on any potential TRD Desert Racer–inspired Tundra it produces.
