I feature a lot of modern Tacomas, but first-generation models are less common and highly sought after. Hence, when this tastefully modified 2002 TRD Off-Road double cab was posted to our forum, I just had to showcase it. If you peruse the various drool-worthy rigs on our forum, you’ll notice that the vast majority are low-mileage. The reality is that lots of vehicles look the business, but very few are actually traveling internationally and racking up big mileage. Any rig can look cool with a lift, all-terrain tires, and a bunch of bolt-on accessories, but the vehicles that impress me most are actually out in the wild being used. Classic Toyotas often fit into this category, with today’s Tacoma showcasing an impressive 320,000 miles. This is no anomaly with previous high-mileage examples, including this 275,000-mile 2005 Tacoma TRD Sport, a 230,395-mile 2002 TRD Off-Road, and a 250,000-mile 1995 Tacoma with a custom flatbed. Long-lived motors and drivetrains are just the tip of the iceberg with the Tacoma, which also boasts class-leading build quality and capability. Subsequently, it’s one of the most popular 4WD platforms for adventure builds with no shortage of inspiring and unique projects. If you’d like to see how this truck can be outfitted for overland adventures, then check out the Tacomas from Dillon Mangum and F Boi Productions. Today’s 2022 offering showcases premium modifications and is topped with a SofTopper and custom rack.
From the Seller:
“This truck spent its life in Phoenix until it relocated to Oregon about 6 years ago. There’s no rust, and I have been slowly rebuilding and replacing everything on this truck during my ownership. Going to be sad to see it go.”
