Toyota Brings New Packages To The 2023 Tundra And Tacoma

Toyota is saying ‘truck yeah’ to 2023 as the company has introduced new packages for the Tundra and Tacoma.

Starting with everyone’s second favorite taco, the 2023 Tacoma gains new Chrome and SX packages on the SR5 variant.

The Chrome package is available exclusively on SR5 Double Cab models with a 5-foot bed and a 3.5-liter V6 developing 278 hp (207 kW / 282 PS) and 265 lb-ft (359 Nm) of torque. As the name suggests, it adds plenty of chrome as buyers will find shiny door handles, a chrome exhaust, and a chromed “TACOMA” insert on the tailgate. Last but not least, the package includes a leather-wrapped shifter and 18-inch polished alloy wheels.

Likewise, the SX Package is available on Access Cab and Double Cab SR5s with the aforementioned V6. It adds black fender flares, black badging, black exterior mirrors, and black 16-inch wheels. Buyers will also find an “SX” graphic on the side of the bed.

Additional changes are limited, but SR5 variants with the optional V6 now come equipped with a Smart Key. Furthermore, the 2023 Tacoma TRD Pro gains an exclusive Solar Octane paint job, while the formerly exclusive Electric Lime color will now be offered on the TRD Sport and TRD Off-Road as well.

2023 Tundra Gets A New SX Package

Since the Tundra was redesigned last year, it largely carries over. However, like the Tacoma, it gains a new SX Package.

Offered on SR5 variants with a Double Cab configuration and a 6.5-foot bed or a CrewMax configuration and a 5.5-foot bed, the SX Package features body-color accents on the door handles and rear bumper. The model also eschews Tundra badging on the doors for a more minimalist look.

Elsewhere, there are four exterior colors – White, Magnetic Gray Metallic, Celestial Silver Metallic, and Midnight Black Metallic – and 18-inch alloy wheels with a dark gray metallic finish. The model also sports black 4×4 badging and black interior trim, which replaces the usual smoked silver accents.
