Tackle Almost Any Overlanding Adventure With the Tacoma Trailhunter
The Toyota Tacoma Trailhunter helps you explore untouched wilderness, set up camp in remote areas, and disconnect from the daily grind. The Trailhunter’s Old Man Emu suspension and 33-inch rugged-terrain tires handle dense forests and rocky trails effortlessly, while the onboard air compressor allows for quick tire adjustments to suit conditions as they evolve.
Setting up camp is quick and easy. Available add-on bed and roof racks maximize cargo capacity, and the 2,400W power supply in the bed packs more than enough electricity for lights, a portable fridge, or whatever else you may need (thatโs pretty rad!). The Trailhunter’s Integrated Scene Lighting perfectly illuminates camp, creating a safe and welcoming environment that feels like a wilderness home away from home.
When things get rough, the Tacoma Trailhunter’s features, like the ARB steel rear bumper with recovery hooks, prove invaluable for muddy predicaments. The 14-inch audio multimedia display and 10-speaker JBL premium audio system entertains during long drives, and the portable speaker can be removed from the dash, allowing you to enjoy music around the campfire.

What Makes the Tacoma Trailhunter the Ultimate Overlanding Truck?
Whether thereโs a road or not, the Toyota Tacoma Trailhunter earns its keep as an essential companion for serious overlanders. But letโs get our hands dirty and dive into the specific features that make it the ultimate overlanding rig.
Old Man Emu Suspension: Unmatched Ride Quality
The Tacoma Trailhunter features Old Man Emu 2.5-inch forged monotube shocks with external remote reservoirs that provide a smooth and controlled ride when driving on the roughest trails. It ensures maximum traction and stability, even with all of your gear in the back, allowing you to confidently tackle uneven surfaces and steep inclines.
Onboard Air Compressor: Ready for Anything
With the onboard air compressor, you can inflate your tires after airing down for a technical trail section. Likewise, you can easily deflate your tires for quick adjustments. This utility streamlines your setup and adds an extra layer of convenience, eliminating the need for bulky, external air compressors.

Available Bed Rack and Roof Rack: Expand Your Gear Capacity
The Trailhunter comes standard with a modular sport bar that was co-engineered with ARB and provides a sturdy anchor point for securing cargo and gear. But for those who need a little extra utility, available bed and roof racks can be added to carry everything from camping equipment to recovery gear.
Power Outlets in Bed: Ultimate Convenience
The bed of the Tacoma Trailhunter includes power outlets, featuring a robust 2,400W AC power supply. You can charge devices, run small appliances, or power lights at your campsite. Having readily accessible power at the back of your truck adds immense convenience.
Steel Underbody Protection: Tough as Nails
The Tacoma Trailhunter’s steel underbody protection safeguards critical components from damage caused by rocks, debris, and rough terrain. This feature gives you the confidence to tackle the most challenging trails and far-flung roads without worry.

Color-Switching Rigid Industries LED Fog Lights: Illuminate the Trail
Visibility is crucial when you’re off-roading. That said, the Trailhunter is built to illuminate the road with an Integrated Lightbar, but the color-switching Rigid Industries LED fog lights also ensure that you have a clear view of the path ahead. These lights switch between different colors to suit various driving conditions, providing optimal illumination whether you’re driving through fog, dust, or darkness.
