Toyota is adding a pair of golden yellow paints, inspired by honey, to its 2027 TRD Pro off-road models. The Tundra and Sequoia also receive newly tuned shocks, so the update goes beyond color alone.
- Honeycomb, a warm golden yellow, is listed for the 2027 Tundra, Sequoia, and Tacoma TRD Pro.
- The 4Runner TRD Pro instead gets a related shade called Hot Honey.
- The Tundra and Sequoia TRD Pro add newly designed Fox-enhanced QS3 shocks.
Two Honey-Inspired Colors
Toyota announced the update, with Honeycomb joining the 2027 TRD Pro palette. Honeycomb is a warm golden yellow, and the company is applying it to three models: the Tundra pickup, the three-row Sequoia, and the midsize Tacoma. The 4Runner sits outside that group and instead receives a shade called Hot Honey, giving it a distinct look within the same off-road family. The result is a lineup that shares a honey theme across all four vehicles while still separating the 4Runner from its siblings, a small distinction that lets Toyota keep the models visually related without making them identical.
Suspension Updates for the Tundra and Sequoia
The mechanical side of the update centers on the two largest models. Both the Tundra and Sequoia TRD Pro receive newly designed Fox-enhanced QS3 shocks, tuned separately for each vehicle. Tuning the dampers individually acknowledges that a full-size pickup and a heavy three-row SUV place different demands on their suspension. Toyota is also keeping the trail-oriented details these trims are known for, including standard red tow hooks that add contrast against the yellow bodywork, and its ISO-dynamic seats, which appear on the options list for added comfort over rough surfaces.
Which Models Get What
The update is not uniform across the four TRD Pro vehicles, and the split is worth laying out plainly. Honeycomb is the color for the Tundra, Sequoia, and Tacoma, while the 4Runner takes Hot Honey instead. The newly designed Fox-enhanced QS3 shocks, by contrast, are limited to the Tundra and Sequoia rather than the full group. Those same two full-size models are also the ones tied to the broader set of changes announced a week earlier. That leaves the Tacoma and 4Runner sharing in the color news for now while the deeper mechanical and feature updates, at least as reported, center on the Tundra and Sequoia.
Where the Broader Lineup Stands
The paint announcement follows a wider round of updates Toyota rolled out for the 2027 Tundra and Sequoia the week before. Those changes included fresh styling, new Trailhunter trims aimed at overlanding, and a now-standard 14.0-inch infotainment display. Taken together, the two rounds of news point to a broader refresh across the full-size models rather than a color change on its own, with the paint serving as the most visible piece of a larger update.
What Toyota Has and Has Not Confirmed
Toyota says it will share full specifications and pricing for the Tundra and Sequoia closer to the start of production this fall. Motor1 expects additional details on the Tacoma and 4Runner to follow in the months after that, so more information on those two remains outstanding rather than confirmed by the automaker. Motor1 also expects the new color may cost extra, though Toyota had not released pricing at the time of the report. The announcement does not address used Toyotas for sale, which are outside the scope of the 2027 model update.
