The Tacoma of any iteration is a pinnacle overland platform and remains the mid-size champ despite fierce competition in the segment. Sure, there are better equipped and more powerful options on the market, but when it comes to build quality, durability, and longevity, this venerable Toyota pickup is in a league of its own. The third generation is the most proven and best-selling version to date and has been the platform of choice for innumerable domestic and international adventures (reference the adventures of Drew Simms, Expedition Overland, and Rogue Wanderers). The top of the line TRD Pro variant takes this already capable vehicle and further uprates it for the backcountry with Fox 2.5-inch internal bypass shocks, tuned font springs with a 1-inch lift, armor, a rear locking differential, Multi-Terrain Select, and more. It’s a favorite with the Overland Collective team and was rigorously tested by Executive Publisher Scott Brady on an Exclusive Test to Prudhoe Bay, Alaska. He states, “Without question, the Tacoma TRD Pro is the most capable compact truck Toyota has ever produced, eclipsing even the venerated HiLux for technical terrain and high-speed dirt performance. I do not make these accolades lightly, having owned both earlier Tacomas and even solid axle HiLux models.” It’s also beloved by the aftermarket, which means should you desire to further enhance your Tacoma, the only limitation is your imagination. To this end, cue today’s low mileage 2020 Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro (45,000 miles), which boasts premium upgrades and is topped with a well appointed Vagabond Drifter camper. Significant time, thought, and money have been invested meticulously building out this Tacoma while respecting the payload and size of the mid-size platform. So if you’re in the market for a do-it-all turnkey rig for adventures at home and abroad look no further.
From the Seller:
“I’m the second owner of this truck and purchased it with the knowledge that I would only be in the office two days per week. It turns out we were ordered back to the office full time, so my dreams of working from remote wildlands were dashed. I only took one trip to the California deserts this spring, so I don’t have a lot of wilderness photos. The Tacoma is well maintained and in very good condition.”
