The Full-size Revolution is upon us, with an increasing number of travelers transitioning from mid- to full-size trucks. As more people commit to longer trips, remote working, or even full-time travel, they require the additional power, comfort, and payload these larger vehicles provide. Expedition Portal Publisher Scott Brady explains, “What was smaller is now bigger, and the lines blur within every automotive category. Travelers are finding the benefits of a slightly larger vehicle that is designed to carry heavy loads day in and day out.” In addition, as technology evolves, the running costs between mid- and full-size trucks have become negligible (and in some cases, a heavily loaded and modified Tacoma will return worse mpg than a Tundra). The Tundra is considered by many to be the ultimate full-size truck for travel. It may not be the most economical or luxurious, but the build quality and reliability are class-leading. It’s unsurprisingly popular on our forum, with recent examples including this 2022 SR5 with a Four Wheel Camper’s Hawk, a 2023 Crewmax with the TRD Off Road package, and a 2014 TRD. Today’s 2007 model (141,768 miles) showcases premium modifications and is topped with a Four Wheel Camper Hawk. In addition, it includes an overland-built utility trailer, which makes this an ideal fit for family adventures. This is a proven rig that has spent the past year “traversing the iconic Pacific Crest Trail from Mexico to Canada. Along the way, we made it a point to stop at every national and state park, immersing ourselves in the breathtaking scenery and rich biodiversity that define the western United States.” If you’re looking for a turnkey rig for that dream trip you’ve always talked about, look no further.
From the Seller:
“As a family of adventurers, my wife, Carrie, our two kids, Kyler (12) and Drew (9), and I have always sought out the thrill of exploration. When it came time to plan our most ambitious journey yet—a year-long overland adventure across the Western states and down into Baja California—we knew we needed a reliable vehicle that could handle the rugged terrain and carry all our gear, including our beloved toys like kayaks, mountain bikes, and dirt bikes. Enter my trusty 2007 Toyota Tundra. Before embarking on this epic odyssey, I spent countless hours meticulously outfitting the Tundra and an overland trailer to meet our needs. I equipped the Tundra with enhancements tailored to taming the great outdoors—Bilstein 6112s, onboard air, a locking rear differential, BFG all-terrain tires, and custom rear suspension to ensure it could handle whatever obstacles lay ahead. Additionally, I customized storage solutions in both the truck and trailer, maximizing space to accommodate all our gear without sacrificing comfort or convenience.”
