Launched last December and already rolling out to customers this month, the Toyota Tamaraw is designed to be tough, practical, and built for both urban and off-road duties. Those looking to add a bit of flair to their unit are in luck as Toyota Alabang, in partnership with Autobot Offroad, is taking it a step further by launching an exclusive version of the Tamaraw, featuring rugged enhancements and off-road-ready modifications that set it apart from the standard model.

More than just another special edition with a few cosmetic tweaks, this Toyota Alabang-exclusive Tamaraw brings a combination of enhanced durability, performance, and off-road capability that makes it a compelling option for buyers who want a tougher, more capable version of the beloved utility vehicle.

Heavy-duty front bumper

The front bumper is constructed from SS400 Carbon Steel, a high-strength material that provides excellent durability and protection. This bumper benefits from robotic MIG welding, ensuring that every weld line is strong and uniform. To enhance its practicality in off-road situations, the bumper includes heavy-duty recovery points made from 8mm-thick steel, allowing for safe and secure vehicle recovery operations. Additionally, it’s been designed to accommodate a front-mounted winch, which is essential for those who frequently navigate challenging terrain. To ensure long-lasting resistance against wear and environmental exposure, the bumper features a sandblasting, phosphate washing, and a powder-coating finish with strong UV protection.

Enhanced suspension

The Tamaraw’s front suspension is upgraded with 16-way adjustable coilovers, allowing drivers to fine-tune damping settings according to their preferred ride quality and terrain conditions. The damping can be adjusted by modifying the preload at the coil spring seat, while ride height can be altered at the bottom part of the suspension system. The use of monotube shocks instead of traditional twin-tube shocks ensures better heat dissipation, leading to more consistent performance over extended use.

At the rear, the 8-way adjustable shocks improve ride comfort and control. To minimize body vibrations, these shocks are installed in an inverted position, a design choice that enhances stability. In addition, an extra leaf spring has been added to the rear suspension, improving load-bearing capacity without sacrificing ride quality. These suspension upgrade means the Toyota Alabang Tamaraw promises to offer a smoother ride on both paved roads and rough terrain.

Exclusive wheels and all-terrain tires

Setting this edition further apart from its standard counterpart are the Toyota Alabang-exclusive 17-inch forged wheels. These wheels offer superior strength while maintaining a lightweight construction, which is beneficial for both performance and fuel efficiency. Complementing these wheels are Cooper Road+Trail 235/65 R17 tires, made in the USA, which provide excellent traction on both paved roads and rugged terrain. This combination of upgraded wheels and tires enhances the Tamaraw’s off-road capability without compromising its on-road handling.
