Overland, Not Overdone: 2017 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road
When it comes to trends in the off-road world, one that continues to carry momentum is overlanding. The camping/outdoor-centric genera has garnered tremendous aftermarket support, making it easier than ever to build your truck or SUV into a vehicle ready to venture off the grid. Starting with a capable platform with proper aftermarket support can make transforming your 4x4 much easier. Daniel Kruthanooch's 2017 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road is an excellent example of just how easily you can transform your rig without completely zapping its everyday practicality.
Parked at the Rhino Rack booth at the 2017 SEMA Show, the Tacoma hosted not only an assortment of Rhino roof and bed racks, but other premium aftermarket upgrades. We were stoked to see such as well executed build at the show, and put together the video above to highlight some of the standout features.
