Toyota’s United States (US) arm announced that the Tundra pickup truck can now be optioned with a 3.0-inch lift kit developed by Toyota Racing Development (TRD). The add-on, per Toyota, makes the already capable full-size pickup bigger and bolder.

    Available nationwide as a dealer-installed option, this lift kit is the only Toyota-approved lift kit designed to work with the Toyota Safety Sense (TSS) system. It is priced at US$3,995 (P232,570).

    “There are many compromises with aftermarket lift kits, some of which can impact the function of vehicle features or safety systems. We have designed this kit to work seamlessly with the Tundra’s standard features, retain all Toyota Safety Sense (TSS) functionality, maintain similar stock driving dynamics by creating a kit with a high center of gravity and provide a look and feel customers want with a lift,” said TRD Principal Engineer Mikhal el Arculli.

    In the Philippines, the closest we can get to a souped-up pickup truck from Toyota is the Hilux GR-Sport. The automobile comes fitted with cosmetic enhancements like a black gloss G-mesh front grille with the bold Toyota emblem, as well as gloss black body-colored over fenders and sports bars.

    It rides on machine-cut finished 18-inch alloy wheels with black-tinted clear coating.
