Toyota just revealed the new TRD Pro color for 2026, and it’s a bold one—Wave Maker. This bright, icy blue is made to stand out and brings a fresh, adventurous vibe to the already aggressive 2026 Tundra TRD Pro. The color was created by Toyota’s CALTY Design team and is meant to inspire the spirit of adventure. After a few years of earthy tones like Terra and Mudbath, Wave Maker is a big shift—meant to capture the look and feel of unexplored places, like icy landscapes and even space. Wave Maker continues the TRD Pro color tradition that started with Inferno in 2015. It’s exclusive to 2026 TRD Pro models and will be available on the Tundra, along with the 4Runner, Tacoma, and Sequoia. Expect them at dealerships in fall 2025. So—what do you think of Wave Maker on the Tundra? Love it or leaving it? No info yet on price or extra features added for 2026 at this time.

So today turned out to be a small but awesome mod day! While cleaning out my garage, I stumbled across a pair of OEM TRD Off-Road badges I had originally bought for a 4Runner I used to own… but never got around to using them.

Rather than let them keep collecting dust, I figured – why not give the Tundra some subtle but clean TRD character?

I placed one badge on the lower right section of the tailgate, and it looks perfect – like it was meant to be there from the factory.
The other went inside on the front passenger trim piece, and it’s such a cool little interior touch. It really ties the TRD Off-Road theme together in a low-key way.

It’s crazy how a simple badge can change the vibe and give the truck more personality without going over the top.

I’ll be posting photos soon so you can see how it came out – might inspire a few of you to do something similar if you’ve got spare badges laying around!

Sometimes it’s the little mods that make your rig feel even more dialed in.
