The Toyota Tacoma is, without doubt, the most popular overland platform on our forum. Recent examples including a 1995 w/ Custom Aluminum Flatbed FlipPac Camper, 2016 TRD Off Road w/ 2018 FWC Fleet, and a 2014 T/X Baja Series. So, why is the Tacoma such a desirable option? The engine and drivetrain are bulletproof, all-terrain capability is excellent (especially with the TRD Off-Road Package), build quality is class-leading, the economy is acceptable, and there’s a huge array of OEM and aftermarket parts and services readily available. Downsides? The interior is a little sparse, with many driver comforts being optional extras, and if I were planning a long-term trip, or living on the road, then the Tundra would be a better choice for a full camper setup. However, the Tacoma is a daily workhorse that excels in recreational, commercial, and overlanding scenarios, and thanks to so many aftermarket options, no two are the same. Today’s offering is one of the nicest to date, showcasing 164,000 miles, extensive premium modifications, a Go Faster Campers V2, and is priced competitively at $43,000 OBO.
From the Seller:
“Testing the waters on selling outright or trading for something else. I work from home, so it sits in the driveway for days on end. Overkill for my ‘weekend warrior’ vibe, and by this, I mean three weekends a year. It’s a great rig that I wouldn’t hesitate to drive to Maine and back (heck, I already took it to Montana without issues). Open to selling as-is or trades. Let me know what you got!”
