The Tacoma remains the most popular truck on our forum with recent adventure-equipped examples, including this 2006 TRD Off Road, 2016 w/ Harker Outdoors Camper, and 2025 Trailhunter. This mid-size hero continues to dominate the category with class-leading build quality, reliability, and capability. It’s not the most powerful or luxurious in the segment, but it’s a vehicle you can trust to get you deep into the backcountry and home again. Whether you’re looking for a daily driver, commercial workhorse, weekend adventurer, or around-the-world travel companion, the Tacoma is a pinnacle choice. After living on the road for nearly 15 years in a charismatic but problematic Vanagon Syncro, I often wish I’d started with a Tacoma, as I’m confident I’d have spent significantly less money yet traveled further and had more experiences. There’s no shortage of inspiration online with epic expedition-ready builds from the likes of Drew Simms, Connor Scalborn, and Alpine Tactics. Cue today’s 2011 Toyota Tacoma (154,900 miles), which boasts a plethora of premium aftermarket modifications and is topped with a Roamin Chariot camper. At $25,500 OBO, this is an impressive value for a turnkey overland package and could be enjoyed as is or further uprated into a full-time rolling home.
From the Seller:
“I have owned this truck since 2015 (and 50,000 miles), and done the majority of the modifications to create what it is now. I used the truck for long trips all over the West, from Alaska to Baja, and it never missed a beat. Maintenance has always been performed by me, independent Toyota mechanics, and the local dealer. I love this platform and have spent most of my adult life with it; however, I need a full-size truck for hauling. I’m open to selling separately, but inquiries for the truck/camper as a package will be prioritized.”
