Since its introduction to the US market in 1995 the Tacoma has continued to forge a reputation for excellence and remains the mid-size benchmark. The third-gen is the best selling to date with 234,768 units sold in 2023 alone (despite the announcement of the much-anticipated fourth-gen) and is without question the mid size darling of the overlanding community. It’s a pinnacle platform for both domestic and international travel with inspiring trips shared by Xoverland, Rogue Wanderers, and Drew Simms. It’s also a favorite with the Overland International team with publisher Scott Brady stating, “Throughout the history of our publication, 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.” Cue today’s one owner 2021 Toyota Tacoma DCSB TRD Off Road (78,600 miles), which showcases a huge list of premium upgrades and is topped with an Alu-Cab ModCap camper. The time and money invested in this rig is extraordinary and the result is one of the most dialed Tacomas we’ve showcased. At $65,000 it’s an impressive value when you consider the specifications and the cost to replicate. In addition, for total peace of mind the seller has spent the last six months replacing consumables and worn items. If you’re looking for a do-it-all turnkey rig that’s adventure proven then look no further.
From the Seller:
“Selling my 2021 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road in Cement Grey (currently vinyl wrapped red) with 78,600 well-maintained miles. This truck has been purpose-built for overland travel, with top-tier components and professional installs throughout. I wasn’t planning to sell this truck — I was simply making sure it was solid. What changed was the blessing of our twin babies on the way, and because of that, we want more space. Within a month of purchasing the truck I had it wrapped and fitted seat covers. Because of this, the interior and exterior are well maintained. The only noticeable wear marks are on the metal bumpers and sliders. This truck has been used for adventure but cared for with longevity in mind. We have taken the truck to many beautiful places. Most recently we spent 16 days on the road, going to Canada to explore Banff National Park, then dropped down to Montana to spend a week on the riverbed.”
