The Toyota Tacoma continues to dominate the mid-size segment and is undoubtedly a pinnacle overland platform. It’s beloved by the community and Overland Collective team alike with Executive Publisher Scott Brady stating, “The Toyota Tacoma has remained the most popular vehicle among our readers, a reflection of the model’s reliability and accessibility. As travelers, we ask a lot from our 4WDs, expecting durability, capability, comfort, and capacity, all while hoping for a great value and even some rugged good looks thrown in. The Tacoma is all of that and so much more, and has become an icon for North American overlanders.” From the factory, this coveted pickup can be specified with various backcountry focused options, including the TRD Off Road package, which uprates the model with rugged hardware and intelligent assists that enhance all terrain capability. I recently spent time in the TRD Off Road model on the XOverland Ranch 4WD test track and was totally blown away. It’s remarkable that from the dealership we have access to vehicles that out of the box can handle even the toughest terrains without breaking a sweat. To this end, cue today’s one owner 2016 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off Road (145,000 miles), which showcases a plethora of premium modifications and is topped with an UpTop bed rack and a Tuff Stuff Alpha hard shell rooftop tent. This is not simply a proof of concept, but rather an extensively proven expedition build that was meticulously curated by today’s seller to facilitate numerous overland trips. At $32,500 it represents impressive value and is turnkey ready to travel.

From the Seller:

“Like a lot of people, I got into overlanding at the end of Covid in 2021. Prior to turning the truck into an overland rig, the first 95,000 miles were strictly highway for a sales job. I started small with a Retrax tonneau cover, an Uptop Overland Rack, and a Tuff Stuff Overland roof top tent. Those early stages were the typical game of Tetris fitting totes with gear into the 6 foot bed of the truck. I soon realized I needed to make changes and began building the full bed slide constructed out of 80/20 aluminum and poly panels utilizing every possible inch of bed space. Now everything has a place and is easy to access and put away. Having a camp kitchen that sets up in minutes is a game changer. The truck was extensively upgraded during this period with the Iron Man Pro Cell suspension, Nitro 5,29 gears, a Yotawerx tune, winch bumper, light bar, winch, and so much more. Camp lighting comes from mounted fixtures and are color changing and dimmable from a remote. I’ll be including recovery equipment/traction boards and a bunch of camping equipment since it fits the build out perfectly. I’m the original owner, and it has never been in an accident. I’m a non-smoker with no pets and meticulous about maintenance. My wife and I love this truck and its ability to get into remote locations. We are selling to fund a full size as we’re building something with interior living space.”
