Expedition Portal Classifieds: 2017 Tacoma and Four-Wheel Camper

If you’ve been wanting a new Tacoma built for overlanding, then I have good news, your hunt is over. Up for sale today is a practically new Toyota Tacoma with what might be the ultimate combination of parts, and a build list that is almost staggering. Although the price tag might be a bit out of reach for most of us, the final product will certainly make any buyer happy. Instead of telling you all about it ourselves though, we will let the owner’s advertisement do the talking. Check it out below.

2017 (New in 2018) Toyota Tacoma TRD Off Road AT. 13,000 miles and ready to head out on adventure! Has the tech package, heated seats, sunroof, JBL Audio package etc. Fully built out, I used high end components in the build and I’m very meticulous in my work.

Camper build

2018 Four Wheel Camper Swift Model. This is shell model with options, this keeps the camper light weight and makes an excellent combo with the Tacoma. To order this camper currently from FWC it would be a $22,000 camper with these options.

* Propane forced air furnace. Keeps the camper toasty warm on the coldest of nights.
* Rear Steps
* Lift Struts (60lb) for solar panel weight compensation
* 180 Watt Solar Panel on custom mounting tabs – Attaches directly to the Yakima Tracks.
* BlueSky 30Amp MPPT solar charge controller with custom mounting.
* IOTA 15A onboard charger with shore power plug

* Fantastic powered roof Fan
* Extra roof vent over the bed
* Wired for ARB Fridge using a Powerlet connection (Far superior to a standard automotive electrical connection)
* Shadow Awning on custom stainless steel mounts. This awning is not available from Four Wheel Camper and is far superior to the Batwing 270deg awning that they provide. The Shadow awning is very robust and will stand up to high winds while offering better coverage. $1700 awning!
* Camper Jacks
* Internal Bed Mount Bars (Hidden Mounting)
* Camper has the better passenger side window with the crank out vents. This window allows you to crack open the vents even when it’s raining, FWC just changed windows on their campers and now they come with a one piece sliding window that is limiting for venting options.

Camper – $17,500
