The Toyota Tacoma is a great fit for overlanding; recent offerings include this 2007, 2013 TRD Off Road with an Alu-Cab Canopy camper, and a 2021 TRD Off Road with a 2020 OVRLND camper. This venerable mid-size pickup is a great, affordable choice for those looking to travel light and maximize their experiences in the great outdoors. Since its inception, the Tacoma has forged a reputation for excellence and continues to set the benchmark for build quality and reliability within the segment. Cue today’s unique one-owner 2014 Toyota Tacoma SR5 (107,000 miles) showcasing premium modifications, an Aluma flatbed, and a custom Ovrlnd camper. This has to be one of the most interesting and functional examples we’ve featured. It could be enjoyed in its current configuration or updated with some additional comforts for full-time living.

From the Seller:
“My Tacoma has evolved over the last 10 years of ownership. But I ultimately built a platform to prioritize daily utility and spacious weekend warrior living. The truck has desirable but simple off-road upgrades for added peace of mind when accessing remote camping locations. I love having the storage boxes to keep the living area clear of gear and clutter – it’s something I’ll always have on future builds. The living area is massive and feels open/accessible with the large barn doors and a king-size sleeping platform. The Tacoma is nimble, simple, and super reliable. It’s the perfect canvas for a go-anywhere base camp.”
