The 2025 Tacoma TRD Pro is a powerhouse, delivering over 400 foot-pounds of torque paired with a smooth eight-speed transmission that makes every drive feel effortless yet commanding. On the road, the ride is firm, but that firmness translates to confidence when you leave the pavement—this truck is clearly tuned with off-roading in mind. Whether you’re blasting through trails or cruising down the highway, the TRD Pro feels purpose-built to handle it all with precision, comfort and grit.
Visually, the “Mud Bath” tan paint is a real showstopper—it caught a lot of eyes everywhere I went. Inside, the front bucket seats are to die for, offering both comfort and serious support during spirited drives. The cabin blends ruggedness with a touch of luxury, reminding you that this is no stripped-down trail rig. At $67,410, the Tacoma TRD Pro isn’t cheap, but with its capability, style, and sheer fun factor, it feels like a lot of truck for the money.

The new Toyota Crown Signia Limited brings a fresh, stylish twist to the midsize SUV world, looking almost like a sleek station wagon thanks to its low, sporty stance. Glossy trim highlights the exterior from every angle, giving the Crown Signia a premium look that’s further enhanced by the smallish chrome emblem and “Crown” lettering on the tailgate. Inside, it’s just as practical as it is stylish, with 25.8 cubic feet of cargo space that easily becomes 68.5 when the back seats are folded down. Thoughtful features like the mirrors that automatically fold in at shutdown—one of Stu’s Reviews’ favorite details—show that Toyota paid attention to even the small things. Performance and efficiency are equally impressive. The Crown Signia sprints from 0 to 60 MPH in a quick 7.1 seconds, helped along by paddle shifters and a sport mode that adds a little extra excitement behind the wheel. Despite its spirited performance, it still manages a stellar 39 miles per gallon around town, making it one of the most fuel-efficient options in the midsize SUV category. The Crown Signia Limited is a wonderful Toyota that perfectly blends sporty looks, practicality, and premium touches into one sharp package.
