When you get an email asking if you would like to take part in a multi-day 4X4 off-road adventure in the brand new Toyota TRD-Pro series trucks, the answer is an immediate YES. So myself, James from Mantripping.com, and Phil from GunAxin.com met up at the Marriott Shadow Ridge Resort in Palm Desert, California and picked out our rides.

I chose the TRD-Pro Tacoma, I loved the aggressive styling and overall size of the truck, it was also loaded with the latest tech from Toyota like crawl mode and it even had a GoPro mount from the factory. Check out the video below from the first day on the trail.

Check out more pictures from the trip below.
