The Toyota Tacoma is one of the most popular vehicles on our forum. Originally introduced to the US market in 1995 as a replacement for the Hilux, it promised a more refined driving experience while still being a dependable workhorse. The balance between everyday comfort and all-terrain capability has made the Tacoma a sought-after overlanding platform, with a number of stunning examples being recently featured in our Classifieds section (these included a Tacoma with AT Overland Habitat Truck Camper, Tacoma Ultimate “Australian” Overland Rig, and a 2021 Tacoma TRD Off-Road Double Cab). Today’s 2013 TRD Offroad model is one of my favourites to date.
From the Seller:
“I bought this truck off Expedition Portal about four years ago and have substantially changed the vehicle since then: true mid-travel suspension, three-way adjustable coilovers, Alu-Cab camper shell, hardshell RTT, and more. This truck can support you off-grid for as long as your food and water can sustain you, or it can be driven as a daily driver because of the considerable amount of planning and execution of parts.”
