For the Toyota brand, the Chicago Auto Show this year was defined largely by the TRD letters. Several specially decked-out versions of Toyota models are on display, including the Tacoma TRD and the Sequoia TRD. These editions feature a more dynamic appearance but are also modified to make them more capable in off-roading situations.

Now the brand’s most popular model is getting the TRD treatment. Although we’re not talking here about a TRD Pro version of the RAV4, the SUV has gotten elements that will make it a better performer on rugged terrain.

The RAV4 TRD Off Road is based on the model’s Adventure trim. It’s fitted with a four-wheel-drive system with torque vectoring control that can send 50% of the engine’s power to the rear wheels, but also distribute more torque to the left- or right-side back wheels depending on the situation. This is extremely effective for optimizing road grip in tough conditions.

A mode known as Multi-Terrain Select allows the driver to adjust traction to fit the road surface; other functions include hill start assist control, trailer sway control and downhill assist control.

The TRD Off Road also gets different shocks that provide a higher ground clearance for navigating terrain with bigger obstacles. Exclusive 18-inch wheels fitted with Falken Wildpeak A/T Trail all-terrain tires are designed to enable tackling trails too rough for the regular RAV4.
