Full-size trucks have never been so popular, and the legendary Tundra is one of the very best. This monster Toyota is not the most capable, luxurious, powerful, or economical truck on the market, but when it comes to workhorse credentials, reliability, and build quality, it’s class-leading. As my grandad used to say, “A second-class ride is better than a first-class walk,” and the Tundra is a vehicle that you can trust to get you out there and get you back. It’s no surprise that this platform is a popular choice on our forum. with recent examples including this 2022 CrewMax Limited TRD Off-Road, a 2012 Rock Warrior, and a 2017 TRD Pro. I’m a big fan of the Tacoma, Toyota’s mid-size truck, but when it comes to building an overland rig, it is arguably better to accept the additional running costs of a full-size truck than live with the limitations of the former (learn more in Scott Brady’s article, Full-Size Revolution). If you’d like to better understand the pros and cons of this platform as a long-term rolling home, then listen to The Toyota Tundra for Overlanding or the Bound for Nowhere episodes on the Overland Journal Podcast. Alternatively, you can join Mak and Owen (Bound for Nowhere) for a full tour of their rig on the Tiny Home Tours Youtube Channel. Today’s low-mileage (15,000 miles) 2021 offering showcases the SR5 trim and TSS Off-Road package, premium modifications, and is topped with a Freespirit Recreation rooftop tent.

2021 Toyota Tundra
The Tundra is fitted with a V8 that produces 381 horsepower, 401 pound-feet of torque, and returns a combined 14 mpg. This exceptionally long-lived but not especially efficient engine does yield some pretty impressive capability, including a 1,560- to 1,730-pound max payload and a 9,800- to 10,200-pound towing capacity. Today’s example showcases both the SR5 and TTS Off-Road packages (the TTS package is just styling focused and is not to be mistaken with the TRD Off-Road package) which include the following driver comforts:
- Rear under-seat storage compartment
- Infotainment system with navigation
- Remote keyless entry
- Backup camera and lane departure warning
- Auto-dimming rearview mirror with compass
Distinguishing Features
- Method Race wheels with Nitto Ridge Grappler tires
- Baja Designs lighting
- Icon Stage 9 suspension
- Full CBI armor
- Prinsu rack
- Freespirit Recreation rooftop tent
- UpTop Overland bed rack
