There is no denying that wedge-style pop-up campers are currently on trend in the overland space. This makes sense from a consumer standpoint as the pop-top provides indoor living space, ease of setup and can be more weight-efficient and cost-effective than a canopy, roof rack, and rooftop tent combo. This 2017 Tacoma TRD Off-Road build reaps the benefit of an Access Cab and long box, allowing more space and payload for the Alu-Cab camper.
With the addition of the Alu-Cab canopy camper, an ARB Summit front bumper, Warn Zeon Platinum 10-S winch, ARB Summit Step and Slide rail kit, skid plates, the truck clocks in at 6,200 pounds. A set of AEV Crestone DualSport wheels wrapped with BFGoodrich KO2 All-Terrain tires rounds out the build.
From the Seller:
“This Tacoma has taken us to countless campsites throughout the years, but the time is here to let a new owner enjoy the truck and everything it is capable of. The Tacoma was first built in 2018 for the Alu-Cab Khaya camper project and has been used for company marketing projects for the last four years. The Tacoma has been built and maintained by our ASA Certified Technicians since new and only shows 54,700 miles on the odometer. The Tacoma can be seen featured in videos over the years, including Chris Shontz from Venture4WD, trips with Mountain State Overland, and our Trans-New Jersey Trail video. Vinyl wrap will be removed prior to purchase.”
2017 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road with Alu-Cab Canopy Camper
The 2017 Toyota Tacoma received the benefits of the 2016 Tacoma overhaul, including new styling and improved noise insulation. However, the redesigned V6 engine and transmission left something to be desired. Despite this, the Tacoma’s reliability and popularity prevails, making it 2021’s top-selling midsize truck in the US.
