The Tacoma is a hugely popular choice for overland builds, with recent offerings including this 2016 TRD Off-Road w/Four Wheel Camper and a 2018 Tacoma w/ AT Overland Atlas. Strong engines and drivetrains, excellent all-terrain performance, class-leading Toyota build quality, and a huge array of aftermarket parts and services are just some of the reasons the Tacoma is sought after. This 2002 example has been extensively modified with quality parts and accessories, incorporates a unique canopy, and is priced at a bargain of $15,000. This rig is of amazing value considering the specifications and is the perfect all-rounder for the upcoming summer season.
From the Seller:
“I love this truck because it has served me as a daily driver and weekend adventure/trail rig from 2013-2020 (has not been daily driven since 2020) without any major issues. It never left me stranded and starts right up [on] the first try, every time. It’s such a solid truck, and if I could, I wouldn’t hesitate [to] keep it. I chose the first-generation Tacoma for its size, reliability, and its off-road capability while being very drivable on-road. I feel this is the perfect truck for a single person, or even a couple, especially for someone just getting into their first 4×4.”
