The Tacoma continues to dominate the mid-size segment with recent adventure-equipped offerings, including this 2002, 2008 w/ Go Fast Campers V1, and 2021 w/ AT Overland Summit. Sure, there are more powerful and luxurious alternatives on the market, but when it comes to build quality and reliability, the venerable Taco is in a league of its own. As overlanders, it’s the latter that really matters, which is why this platform is so popular with serious travelers (reference the around-the-world adventures of Rogue Wanderers). It’s also beloved by the aftermarket, which means that each build is as unique as its owner, as demonstrated by rigs from Drew Simms, Total Chaos Fabrication, and Dillon Mangum. Cue today’s 2014 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off Road (142,055 miles), which boasts premium modifications and is topped with a custom aluminum flatbed camper. 
From the Seller:
“I’ve been hunting and researching for years for the dream overland rig and gone through a few different evolutions of trucks and campers. This truck and camper combo was finally it—the perfect setup for a light and versatile adventure vehicle. Then, a month after bringing the Tacoma home, my wife and I found out we were having a baby, and it’s just too small for a family. It’s 90 percent there: perfectly usable, incredibly capable, and just waiting for someone to take it to the next level.”
