The Tacoma continues to dominate the midsize sector and is widely considered a pinnacle overland platform. It’s a vehicle with a reputation for bulletproof reliability, class-leading build quality, and impressive capability from the factory (especially when optioned with the TRD Offroad Package). In short, it’s a pickup that will get you deep into the backcountry but crucially get you home again. Further still, it’s adored by the aftermarket and enjoys access to an extensive catalog of parts, accessories, and services to further uprate the platform for exploration. It’s a favorite with the Expedition Portal team with features on builds from Tactical Application Vehicles, ARB, Expedition Overland, John Burtt, and Lou Ortego. Publisher Scott Brady refers to the Tacoma as a Tool of the Trade, stating, “Throughout the history of our publication, 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 the 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.” (It was for these reasons and more that it was the vehicle of choice for his Arctic Ocean Expedition.) Cue today’s low-mileage 2021 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off Road (47,000 miles) showcasing a wealth of premium parts and accessories and is topped with a Super Pacific camper.
From the Seller:
“Adventure-ready and meticulously maintained and outfitted for serious overlanding! This build is rugged, capable, and well-loved, featuring high-quality components from trusted brands to handle any terrain and overlanding adventure. This overland Tacoma isn’t just a truck—it’s a passport to adventure. I took it on an unforgettable trip to Portland, Oregon, to pick up my Super Pacific camper, transforming it into a true travel companion. From there, I spent weeks journeying through the stunning national forests of Washington State, Oregon, Utah, and Montana. Along the way, I explored remote wilderness areas, even reaching Theodore Roosevelt National Park. This truck has conquered more than scenic trails. It’s tackled the famous Canaan Loop Road in West Virginia, proving its capability by towing a buddy’s Bronco over challenging obstacles! Whether it’s taking you to work or on your next off-road adventure, this Tacoma is equipped and ready for wherever the road (or lack thereof) takes you.”
