The Tacoma continues to rule supreme on our forum with recent adventure-ready examples, including this 2020 TRD Pro, a 2016 with a Vagabond Outdoors Drifter, and a 1999 with a 1978 Chinook camper. This mid-size Toyota was first introduced to the US market in 1995 as a replacement for the venerable Hilux and has since become one of the most popular trucks on the market. This platform carried forward many of its predecessor’s rugged workhorse credentials but introduced a more refined driving experience. Subsequently, while the Tacoma remained a fantastic work vehicle, it also became a favorite for recreational purposes. Today it’s revered for its bulletproof reliability, class-leading build quality, excellent capability (especially when equipped with either the TRD Off-Road or Pro package), and availability of parts internationally. If you’re wondering whether the SR5 variant offers adequate all-terrain performance, check out the demonstrations from RallyWrex 915, Driving Sports TV, and TFL Offroad. Today’s 2017 offering has covered just 56,500 miles and features premium aftermarket modifications (including ARB rear locker), and is topped with a Four Wheel Campers Project M.
From the Seller:

It also will include all sensors for parking assist, lane assist, etc, that were removed to accommodate vehicle lift. A four-season camper that can handle anything from Mexico to Alaska.”
