Half-ton trucks have grown in popularity in recent years, with many overlanders recognizing that their considerable payload and towing capacities are well-suited to expedition builds. Sure, there are advantages to smaller trucks like the Tacoma and Hilux, but if you want to incorporate a camper, accessories, and load up with supplies, you’ll quickly discover their limitations.
As someone living in a compact vehicle, I can only pack the bare essentials if I want to remain within my vehicle’s payload, which can be limiting and thus frustrating. Hence, half-ton trucks ultimately afford you more luxury with the capacity for a larger camper with amenities such as a toilet/shower (and the water capacity to support them). Whereas the equivalent Tacoma is fitted with a 278 horsepower V6, the Tundra is equipped with a powerful 381 horsepower V8, which is more comfortable hauling a heavy rig up mountain passes or navigating technical terrain.
Over the past few months, we’ve featured several adventure-ready builds, including this $42,000 2018 SR5 Dual Cab and a $62,000 2021 SR5 w/ AT Overland Atlas Topper. Today’s super low-mileage (11,490 miles) offering was built by the team at Adventure Motors as a display vehicle for various Expos and features extensive premium modifications.
From the Seller:
“Check out this last production year 2nd generation Tundra Limited TRD Off Road 4×4. This single-owner meticulously maintained truck is also very nicely built. I acquired this rig early this year and designed it to be a display vehicle for a few Expos, and now we must sell it to build an incoming platform.”
