The Tacoma can seemingly do it all, whether you’re in the market for a commercial workhorse, daily driver, weekender, or overland rig. Sure, it doesn’t provide the best payload within the segment, but it was never intended for hauling large loads. This is a pickup that encourages you to travel light and puts emphasis on experiences and not gear. Publisher Scott Brady describes it as a Tool of the Trade, and states: “There are significant reasons why the Tacoma is such a popular option, primarily the legendary reputation of the drivetrain and chassis. Tacomas are well-documented to last 300,000+ miles of hard driving, the indestructible legacy only being usurped by the Land Cruiser. The vehicle proves to be very livable, providing daily driving and commuting duties in addition to long forays afield.” Cue today’s 2011 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport (156,5xx miles), which showcases tasteful modifications and is topped with an AT Overland Habitat. If you’d like a better idea of how the second-gen Tacoma can be outfitted for exploration, check out rigs from Pacific Roamer, Alpine Tactics, and Total Chaos Fabrication.

From the Seller:
“This has been a great adventure truck for us. I’m the second owner, it’s 100 percent reliable and has no issues. It’s always been driven respectfully and never 4WD banged. Oil changed every 5,000 miles since we’ve owned it from 100,000 miles, and the original owner did the same at the dealer (receipts available). Selling because we got another adventure rig and can’t keep both. I look forward to meeting the new owners of this fine adventure machine. Will consider separating truck or camper if you want one or the other.”
