The Tacoma is undoubtedly the mid-size darling of the overlanding community. Since it came to market in 1995, it has dominated the sector thanks to exceptional build quality, reliability, and capability (especially when outfitted with one of the optional TRD packages). As a result, aftermarket support is almost unmatched, with a huge array of parts, accessories, and services on offer to optimize the platform for adventure. Unsurprisingly, it’s one of the most desirable trucks on our forum, with recent examples including this 2019 with an Alu-Cab Canopy camper, a 2021 Tacoma TRD Pro, and the legendary 2016 TRD Off Road Xoverland X3 Meridian. Today’s 2013 Toyota Tacoma TRD has been heavily modified and is a testament to what’s possible thanks to the aftermarket. If you’d like to see how the second-gen Tacoma performs as a long-term travel companion, check out the inspiring builds from Alpine Tactics, Total Chaos Fabrication, and Peach State Overland.
From the Seller:
“I have a lot of money invested in this truck; I only used the best products in every aspect of the build. The truck stayed parked at my house and was used only as a primary overlanding rig. I have since built another rig, so I removed the camping unit on this one to make it more affordable. You will not find a more capable truck at this price with these add-ons.”
