I recently listened to Clay Croft’s interview with international explorer and pro photographer Chris Burkard on the XOverland Podcast. During their conversation, Chris discloses that his vehicle of choice for family adventures, commercial work, and overlanding is a Toyota Tundra. He states: “The thing’s a beast. They’re hogs on gas, but there’s nothing I’ve found that’s more comfortable for hauling around four people. The biggest thing for me is having something I know can easily get up into the mountains and have no issues.” The take-home was that this was the perfect choice for someone who absolutely depends on their vehicle for rugged backcountry exploration. This is not a unique perspective and is the reason why the Tundra remains one of the most popular vehicles on our forum, with recent offerings including this 2007 with a Topo Toppers Mesa, a 2022 SR5 with a Four Wheel Camper’s Hawk, and a 2004 SR5. If you’d like to deep dive into the many benefits of this platform then check out The Toyota Tundra for Overlanding on the Overland Journal Podcast. Today’s low-mileage (90,313 miles) 2014 Toyota Tundra TRD features premium modifications and is the perfect base for a full camper build-out.
From the Seller:
“I used this truck for camping and road trips with a camper shell that was put onto my new truck. I’ve done a lot of work on the Tundra since purchasing it in 2020. The truck is great—I wouldn’t hesitate to drive it to Baja tomorrow. The only reason I’m selling is because I’ve wanted a diesel for a few years and found one I couldn’t pass up.”
