The Tacoma remains the mid-size truck to beat, with recent adventure-equipped offerings including this 2011 TRD Sport w/ AT Overland Habitat, 2017 TRD Off Road, and 2021 TRD Off Road w/ Alu-Cab ModCap camper. At Overland International, we believe that overlanding is about experiences above all else, and to this end, the Tacoma is a pinnacle choice. Publisher Scott Brady states, “Throughout the history of our publication, the Toyota Tacoma has remained the most popular vehicle among our readers, a reflection of the model’s reliability and accessibility. As travelers, we ask a lot from our 4WDs, expecting durability, capability, comfort, and capacity, all while hoping for a great value and even some rugged good looks thrown in. The Tacoma is all of that and so much more, and has become an icon for North American overlanders.” Whether you buy a high mileage first gen or the latest fourth gen you can bet that it’ll be a dependable work horse, daily driver, or overland companion. It’s also the aftermarket darling, which means whatever your goals or ambitions you can rest assured there’s a part, accessory, or service available to uprate the platform for your objectives. Cue today’s 2006 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off Road (185,xxx miles), which boasts a plethora of desirable modifications and is priced at $17,750. If you’d like a better understanding of how the second generation Tacoma can be outfitted for travel, then check out builds from Graham Cain, Pacific Roamer, and Alpine Tactics.
From the Seller:
“This has been an amazing truck, but family growth forces the sale. I am the second owner. Carfax available on request. I have a long list of maintenance items, many receipts, the original owner paperwork, etc. I also have the rear passenger seat and just need to reinstall it. This truck has been well cared for mechanically and is ready to take someone on their next adventure.”
