The Tacoma is the most popular vehicle on our forum for overland builds, and for good reason. In short, the Tacoma is hard to beat if you’re looking for class-leading build quality, reliability, capability, and a rig that can quite simply do-it-all without breaking the bank. The vast success of this platform has established a wide array of aftermarket parts, accessories, and services that can further uprate it for the road less traveled. We’ve featured numerous adventure-ready examples, including this 2015 TRD Off-Road with a Go Fast Campers V1, a 2016 with a Four Wheel Campers Swift, and a 2019 TRD Pro Supercharged. The Tacoma is well-mannered on the road, but when the tarmac ends, this truck comes to life, as demonstrated on the Expedition Portal YouTube channel. Suppose you’d like a better idea of how this platform can be outfitted for travel. In that case, I highly recommend heading over to roguewanderers.com and checking out their round-the-world trip that should see them cover 150,000 miles and 100 countries in their stunning expedition spec Tacoma. Today’s low-mileage (20,000 miles) example showcases the desirable TRD Off-Road package and premium modifications and is topped with an RSI Smart Cap.
From the Seller:
“We love this setup, and we are sorry to part with it, but we need to go bigger. I’ve owned it for about 2.5 years and have never had a recall (unlike some of my other cars or trucks). I just trust that the truck is going to get me where I want to go with no issues. Also, I appreciate the driveability on and off road. The footprint and turning radius make life easier in tight spots in the city and in the boonies (keeping pinstriping to a minimum). The truck is super functional. There are no overcomplicated electronics and add-ons that you just know are going to break or malfunction.”
