I’m selling my 2016 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road Long Bed with Go Fast Campers (GFC) V1 Camper and awning. I’ve been happy with both the truck and the camper; but an unusual opportunity arose to upgrade to another platform I’ve been wanting to try and so the truck has to go (for now).
Price: $41,000.
Location: Fort Collins, Colorado.

The Tacoma includes the technology package (better stereo, sun roof), winter package (heated seats, heated mirrors), and towing package (transmission cooler, engine oil cooler, power steering cooler, a heavy-duty 130-amp alternator, a 4- and 7-pin connector). It is at about 108,9xx miles now. More details below.
The GFC is an early build (#297). It has a side door on the driver’s side of the tent and front and back windows in the GFC (rear-view mirror remains functional). The original hinges, which were a failure point in the V1s, have been replaced with the upgraded embassy hinges by GFC. The GFC has been great – offering quick setup and takedown of the tent and excellent access to all 3 sides of the truck bed. An Alu-Cab telescoping ladder, with angled steps for comfy climbing up to the tent side door, is included.
A 23Zero Peregrine 270-degree awning is also included.

More details on the truck and camper:
- We’re the second owner of the truck and have had it since about 64,000 miles. It has been stored in a carport.
- It has two incidents in its vehicle history. The first is minor hail damage to the hood; which is barely visible. And during our ownership it had a cosmetic dent to the passenger side on an off-road trail that was professionally repaired.
- It has a very small dent and some chipped paint around the passenger door handle.
- There are some small pits in the windshield which are covered with tape. They have been there since I purchased the vehicle in 2018 without changing.
- The truck has been maintained regularly and all the records are available. The tires are COOPER DISCOVERER AT3 4S with 25k miles on them.
- Bilstein 5100 suspension and Icon Add-a-Leaf. It maintains stock ride height with the GFC (and even a decent load of camping gear) and handles a lot better than the stock suspension did prior to replacement at 90k miles.
- It came with a Bed Rug which makes the truck bed more comfortable as a camper and significantly reduces dust ingress.
- Stock tailgate cover was replaced with a metal tailgate cover (made by a friend, unbranded). This is covered by the bed rug and a lot more comfortable to climb up on than the stock corrugated one.
- I wired a cigarette lighter 12v port to the bed to charge a battery pack. It operates on a relay and is only on when the truck is running. I’ve been charging at 10amps. The bed also has stock AC power - 100W when driving and 400W when parked.
- Upgraded headlights to a 65W H9 that produces better light output than the original bulb.
- Upgraded the backup lights with a slightly higher wattage bulb that again improves light output.
- Technical Service Bulletin 77 software upgrade which has resolved, in my opinion, the “gear hunting” issue in the 3rd gen Tacoma.
