The popularity of full-size trucks has grown exponentially in recent years. Publisher Scott Brady explores this trend in Full-Size Revolution and states, “When we first started Overland Journal, the compact pickup was by far the most popular choice for overlanding, but the gap is quickly narrowing with full-size variants. The reason is simple—big trucks are more capable than ever before, and they have the payload to haul more than a few passengers and a basket of groceries.” The Tundra may not have the biggest payload in the segment, but it makes up for this with class-leading build quality and reliability. It’s one of the most popular full-size pickups on our forum, with recent offerings including this 2001 with a Four Wheel Campers, 2011 with a Hiatus camper, and 2022 1794 Edition with an Alu-Cabin. Cue today’s 2020 Toyota Tundra Platinum CrewMax with tasteful modifications and under 60,000 miles. If you’d like to better understand the many benefits of this vehicle for backcountry exploration, then listen to Principles of Overlanding :: The Toyota Tundra for Overlanding. Alternatively, follow Desk to Glory as they travel Europe and beyond in their second-generation Tundra.
From the Seller:
“I regretfully have to sell my Tundra after just two years of ownership. I bought it as a Certified Used Toyota from Earl Stewart Toyota in Lake Park, Florida. It was leased new from this dealer, and all services were completed there until I purchased it. I’ve done one oil change myself and had the other service done by a reputable garage in Punta Gorda, Florida. I bought an extended powertrain warranty for up to 100,000 miles from Earl Stewart, which is not limited to their dealership alone. The truck is in very good condition with just a few small paint chips and one small dent above the rear window from the previous owner.”
