2026 Toyota TRD Pro Models Add a Splash of Color
This new finish is available on TRD Pro 4Runner and Sequoia SUVs and Tacoma and Tundra pickups.
This is the eleventh TRD Pro special color to join the company's color wheel since 2015.
If you're tired of muted silvers covering your car, Toyota has an answer. Well, at least in its top-tier TRD Pro versions you'll be able to snag the new 'Wave Maker' finish.
This new shade is the 11th addition to the special list of TRD paints and is scheduled to hit 4Runner, Tacoma, Tundra, and Sequoia models this fall.
Toyota says this finish was developed by Toyota's CALTY design team. This is the same group responsible for other TRD Pro exclusive colors like the more muted mud bath finish for 2025 models, and the terra finish from 2024.
Now, this new paint is obviously limited to just a handful of trim models in an already limited portfolio. That means you're out of luck if you want a more price-friendly version of Toyota's latest body-on-frame machines in this new color.
However, if you look at the trend of these limited colors, you might be in luck down the line as the colors move down the trim walk.
If you do plan on adding a new TRD Pro 4Runner, Tacoma, Tundra, or Sequoia finished in wave maker, you'll have to wait until the 2026 model year comes around this fall.
Toyota hasn't yet released pricing for the '26 model TRD Pros, but stickers should be close to the current $65,230 price admission into a Tacoma TRD Pro, which is the most affordable TRD Pro variant currently sold.

Toyota supplier Denso's quarterly profit falls on tariffs, strong yen
TOKYO (Reuters) -Japan's Denso, a leading auto parts supplier to Toyota, posted a bigger-than-expected 11% decline in first-quarter profit on Friday, hit by U.S. tariffs and a stronger yen. The world's second-largest car parts manufacturer reported an operating profit of 107.2 billion yen ($720 million) for the three months to the end of June. That was well below an average estimate of 130 billion yen from seven analysts surveyed by LSEG. The company maintained its prediction for full-year operating profit to climb 23% to 675 billion yen, while raising its revenue target for the period by 2% from an earlier estimate. Its initial estimates were made in late April, after U.S. President Donald Trump's announcement of reciprocal tariffs on trading partners. Denso on Friday estimated the hit to full-year operating profit from U.S. tariffs to be 130 billion yen, and said it was looking for ways to partially offset the impact. "We'll take measures such as making things in the U.S. that can be made there ... in order to thoroughly reduce it (the impact)," Yasushi Matsui, the company's chief financial officer, told reporters. Trump has imposed a blanket 10% tariff on trading partners. Last week, Japan struck a trade deal with the U.S. that lowers tariffs on the country's cars and other goods to 15% in exchange for Japan investing $550 billion in the United States. Denso gets more than half its revenue from Toyota group companies, including truck unit Hino Motors and small-car maker Daihatsu. ($1 = 148.92 yen) Sign in to access your portfolio

Brazil brings forward disassembled electric vehicles import tax hike
(Reuters) -The Brazilian trade panel known as Gecex-Camex decided on Wednesday to bring forward a tariff increase schedule for disassembled electric and hybrid vehicles imports, it said in a statement. Fully or partially disassembled vehicles, known as CKDs and SKDs, will be subject to a 35% import tax from January 2027, and no longer in July 2028, Gecex-Camex said. They are currently charged a 14% levy, according to the government. On the other hand, Gecex-Camex approved an additional free-tariff quota, worthing $463 million for CKD and SKD imports, valid for six months. China's BYD had asked earlier this year for a temporary tariff reduction on CKDs and SKDs, which generated backlash from carmakers including Toyota, Volkswagen, General Motors and Stellantis. In a letter to President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva earlier this month, the four automakers said the move could put investments in the country at risk. BYD criticized the four carmakers in a statement before the panel decision, comparing them to "dinosaurs" who "just saw a meteor in the sky". Sign in to access your portfolio

Toyota to Build EVs in Czech Republic by 2028
Toyota (NYSE:TM) will start building electric vehicles in Europe at a new Czech plant by 2028. It plans to churn out about 100K EVs a year at its Czech subsidiary, including a new electric SUV. The automaker wants to launch 14 battery?electric models across Europe by 2026 from a revamped C?HR+ SUV to an updated bZ4Xand hit carbon neutrality in the region by 2035. Right now, EVs account for under 2% of Toyota's global sales, so local assembly is a big shift in strategy. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 3 Warning Sign with TM. Through June, EU registrations for battery?electric cars topped 869,271 units, or 15.6% of the market. Germany led with a 35.1% surge, Belgium was up 19.5% and the Netherlands rose 6.1%, while France dipped 6.4%. Making cars in Europe could help Toyota cut logistics costs, sidestep import duties and respond faster as legacy brands and startups ramp up EV offerings. European?built EVs position Toyota to capture market share in the continent's fastest?growing segment and protect margins. Investors will look to Toyota's roll?out of 14 EV models by 2026 and the first Czech?built units in 2028 for clues on capital spending and profit impact. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.
