It’s rare to hear a bad word about the second-gen Tundra with its reputation for bulletproof dependability, class-leading build quality, and impressive backcountry capability. It’s a pickup that from the factory is well suited to navigating the toughest terrain and conditions and has subsequently become a favorite with the overlanding community. It’s coveted by the aftermarket and can be overhauled from the ground up for remote exploration, as demonstrated by inspiring builds from Advanced Fiberglass Concepts, Tactical Application Vehicles, and Bound for Nowhere. It’s also a favorite with the Expedition Portal team and featured in our Full-size Truck of the Year with Publisher Scott Brady stating: “Toyota trucks are legendary for their quality, durability, and reliability, with Tundras of any variant achieving million-mile service lives.” The second generation is no exception thanks to its 5.7-liter 3UR-FE V8, which is a proven motor also used in the Land Cruiser, Sequoia, and LX 570 (reference Tim Esterdahl’s 1,000,000-mile 2007 Tundra). Cue today’s 2011 Toyota Tundra (120,000 miles) showcasing a wealth of premium upgrades and topped with a tastefully appointed Hiatus camper. This turnkey rig recently underwent Toyota dealership maintenance and subsequently enjoys a full bill of health (see original listing for details).

From the Seller:
“I purchased this truck in early 2024 in stock condition. The intent was to build a rig that could go anywhere at any time of the year. The unique choice of a HIATUS camper helped me achieve my goal with its hard-sided, four-season rating. An unexpected military move has brought us to California from Montana. For this reason, my needs have shifted. The truck has had its factory maintenance performed at the Toyota dealership in Helena, Montana. Every fluid has been changed, and the truck needs nothing. This rig is ready for your next Baja or winter hunting trip.”
