2025 Tacoma TRD Pro Dash Cam: Conquering Trails in 4K
🚙 Why the TRD Pro Demands a Different Dash Cam
The TRD Pro isn't just a truck—it's a statement. Its interior is designed for adventure, but that doesn't mean you want a bulky dash cam stuck to your windshield with a suction cup. On rough trails, suction cups fail. Adhesive mounts weaken. Wires dangle and snag. You need a camera that becomes part of the truck—one that won't rattle loose, won't overheat, and will capture every moment in stunning 4K, even in the toughest conditions.
The Wefoka 4K OEM‑Style Dash Cam is designed specifically for the 2024–2025 Tacoma. It replaces the factory plastic housing behind your rearview mirror, looking like it came from the factory. No wires, no suction cups, and a mount that's as solid as the truck itself.
🏆 The Perfect Match: Wefoka 4K for TRD Pro
Here's why the Wefoka is the ideal dash cam for your TRD Pro:
Owners who take their Tacomas off‑road confirm its ruggedness:
🔌 The 4th Gen Secret: Factory 5‑Pin Pre‑Wire
Toyota did TRD Pro owners a huge favor: they hid a 5‑pin power connector above the headliner, specifically for a dash cam. It provides switched 12V power, meaning it's only live when your truck is running. This is perfect for cameras without parking mode and eliminates any risk of draining your battery—especially important on multi‑day overlanding trips where you might be camped for days.
Accessing it is easy: pop off the dome light assembly, locate the black cloth‑wrapped connector, and plug in a simple Dongar 5‑pin to USB adapter. No fuse taps, no wire splicing, no visible cables. One Tacoma4G member reported: "The wiring process took me about 5 minutes from start to finish, and I would consider myself a beginner with this type of job."
🛠️ Installation: Trail‑Ready and Simple
Follow these steps for a clean, professional install in your TRD Pro:
- Remove the dome light assembly. Pull straight down on the front edge—four clips hold it. (If you break one, replacements are cheap.)
- Locate the 5‑pin connector. It's often in a black sleeve, completely unoccupied.
- Plug in a Dongar 5‑pin to USB adapter. This converts 12V to 5V USB for your camera.
- Route the USB cable down to the mirror area. Tuck it into the headliner.
- Pop off the factory mirror cover and snap the Wefoka in place. Connect the USB cable.
- If using the rear camera, route its cable along the roofline to the back window. Use a trim tool to keep it tidy.
One owner said: "The installation is very easy. I just unclipped the original cover around the mirror and installed this one in its place. All of the programming uses plug and play controls that are inside the mirror housing."
🌡️ Built for the Elements: Heat, Dust, and Vibration
Off‑road adventures mean extreme conditions: desert heat, river crossings, and constant vibration. The Wefoka's supercapacitor‑based design (no internal battery) makes it exceptionally heat‑tolerant. One owner in a hot climate shared:
For dust protection, simply wipe the lens before each trail ride—a microfiber cloth in your glovebox is all you need. The integrated mount won't rattle loose, even on the roughest washboard roads.
📸 4K Video: Capture Every Detail of Your Adventure
The 4K front camera delivers stunning detail—you can zoom in on a distant trail marker, read a license plate, or capture the dust plume behind you. Owners consistently praise the clarity:
The optional rear 1080p camera can be mounted to watch your line, monitor your cargo, or capture followers on the trail.
📍 GPS: Log Your Trail Conquests
The quad‑mode GPS records your exact route, speed, and location, embedding this data into the video. This is invaluable for documenting new trails, sharing GPS tracks with friends, or proving your whereabouts. The GPS locks quickly and accurately, even in remote areas with open sky.
🔋 No Parking Mode: A Feature for Overlanders
The Wefoka has no parking mode. When you're camped for days, this is a blessing—it draws zero power from your battery. One reviewer noted:
If you absolutely need to record while parked (e.g., to capture wildlife), you can always start the engine or use a separate action camera.

The camera is designed for interior use. It's not waterproof, but it's protected behind glass. If you ford deep water, the camera will be fine inside the cab.
The quad‑mode GPS uses multiple satellite systems and generally works well with a clear sky view. In deep canyons, signal may be intermittent—that's normal for any GPS.
