Toyota has given its 2027 TRD Pro off-road lineup a new yellow look, but the color is not quite the same on every truck and SUV. The Tundra, Sequoia and Tacoma TRD Pro models get Honeycomb, while the 4Runner TRD Pro gets a slightly different shade called Hot Honey.
The update matters now because Toyota has already published 2027 details for the Tundra and Sequoia, and the new color is one of the clearest changes in a lineup that is otherwise mostly carryover. Caleb Miller, who started blogging about cars at 13, drew attention to the split color treatment after Toyota said the new yellow would be available across all four off-roaders.
For buyers watching the 2027 Tundra TRD Pro, the answer is simple: the truck gets Honeycomb. The same is true for the Sequoia and Tacoma. The 4Runner is the odd one out, with Hot Honey as its own name and its own slightly different shade. Toyota does not spell out why it made that choice, but the separation is deliberate enough to be part of the model-year rollout rather than a mistake in the paint booth.
That is not the only change on the 2027 Tundra and Sequoia. Neither one gets major changes, but both now offer a Trailhunter package based on the SR5 trim. That package adds suspension components from Old Man Emu, Michelin LTX Trail tires, extra underbody protection and a locking rear differential. Toyota also makes the 14-inch touchscreen standard on every trim for 2027.
The color shake-up follows Toyota's recent pattern of using TRD Pro paint as part of the identity of its off-road lineup. In 2026, the models wore Wave Maker, along with Ice Cap, Magnetic Gray Metallic and Midnight Black Metallic. In 2025, the company had a light brown Mudbath hue. The TRD Pro trucks and SUVs are still defined by the hardware that goes with the badge: additional ground clearance, upgraded suspensions, beefier tires, scowling grilles, blacked-out trim pieces, bulging fenders and red tow hooks.
What Toyota has done here is make the yellow easier to talk about than to ignore. Honeycomb is the shared color for three models, Hot Honey is the exception, and the split gives the 4Runner its own lane in a launch that is otherwise about continuity. More details on the 2027 Tacoma and 4Runner should follow, but the biggest takeaway is already clear: Toyota wants the TRD Pro lineup to look new even when much of the hardware is not changing.
