Toyota's latest patent filing suggests that the Japanese carmaker might be ready to bring a brand-new super pickup truck to the party. For years now, the Ford F-150 Raptor has been the biggest player in the segment, but Toyota might be getting ready to "Hammer" the American pickup market. 2027 Toyota TRD Hammer: Everything We Know So Far ToyotaThe recently filed trademark is for the “TRD Hammer” name, and that’s about as subtle as a sledgehammer to the face. Automakers don’t trademark names like this for fun, especially not ones tied to their performance division, which in this case is Toyota Racing Development.What makes this even more interesting is that the name has popped up before. Toyota previously surveyed Toyota Tundra owners and included “TRD Hammer” as a potential future model. That suggests this isn’t a last-minute idea because it’s been quietly brewing behind the scenes already. If this is indeed for a super truck, and if it makes it to production, then we can expect it to sit above the already capable TRD Pro models. If The Tundra get this new variant, then it will be the direct competitor to the Ford F-150 Raptor.A Tundra TRD Hammer would probably be a no-compromise desert runner built for speed, punishment, and serious bragging rights, just like any other super truck. In fact, it was just a few weeks ago that Toyota went racing with their R&D team and a badass Tundra at the Mint 400. The Drive has already published an article claiming to have insider information about the new Toyota truck. Apparently, "a friend" of the publication reached out and said that this new TRD Hammer truck will get 37-inch rims and be a total badass. A Toyota Tundra Super Truck To Take On Ford ToyotaThe Toyota Tundra TRD Pro is undeniably impressive, packing a powerful 437-hp hybrid setup and delivering serious off-road capability. However, it still leans more toward being a high-end trail truck rather than a full-blown desert racer. That’s exactly why the rumored TRD Hammer is such a big deal—it could take things to the next level with upgrades like 37-inch tires, a long-travel suspension setup, and the kind of extreme performance needed to push Toyota firmly into Ford F-150 Raptor territory.For now, we will just have to wait and see what comes of this. There have been many trademarks filed for Toyota trucks, but this one seems to be the most exciting in recent times. For years, the Japanese brand has been known for reliability and capability, but not necessarily for building wild, high-speed off-road machines. This changes that narrative completely.
