The Tundra is a firm favorite on the forum with recent adventure-equipped examples including this 2001 TRD 4×4 w/ Four Wheel Campers Hawk, 2016 TRD Pro, and 2022 1794 Edition with an Alu-Cab Alu-Cabin. It’s a vehicle synonymous with reliability and build quality, with all iterations capable of returning half-a-million-mile service lives if maintained. The third-gen carried forward the legendary credentials of its predecessor but with key changes such as sharing the same chassis and engine as the 300 Series Land Cruiser. Publisher Scott Brady explains, “The frame is fully boxed and precision reinforced to improve strength by 20 percent, while also reducing weight by 10 percent,” continuing, “The frame change also allowed converting from a leaf suspension to a five-link coil-sprung system.” These key updates, among others, ensured the latest Tundra was a huge hit with the overlanding community with no shortage of inspiring rigs online, including builds from Revere Overland, Enjoy the Ride and OCN Rigs. If you’d like to better understand the merits of this platform for backcountry travel, listen to The Toyota Tundra for Overlanding on the Overland Journal podcast. Cue today’s 2023 Toyota Tundra SR5, which showcases the TRD Off Road package, premium modifications, a transferable 120,000-mile, bumper-to-bumper warranty, and is topped with a Super Pacific camper.
From the Seller:
“You may recognize me [Eli.Santos] from my 200 Series Land Cruiser that’s currently featured in the Expo Classifieds. I’m making some life changes, so I’m putting my Tundra up for sale as well. The only negative that I can think of with this truck is that there are two scratches on the tailgate. Luckily, it’s aluminum, so no potential for rust. Otherwise, the truck is in phenomenal shape. I would consider selling the Super Pacific separately for the right price, but would really rather not. I hate to see this truck go, but l know it will be a great adventure rig for someone!”
