Sorry I meant more off-road capable than a van particularly a 2wd van. While it would be nice to have a vehicle more capable than the tundra we had,I’m going to have to make compromises. More off-road capable also means less space. I had thought of buying a 4Runner and pulling a trailer for gear...

Yea I’m well aware of the condensation/moisture issues. I figured I would be spending evenings and days off drying out clothes at the laundry or sleeping with gear to try and dry it out as if camping. Anyone have any experience with the knockoff espar heaters? Don’t think any of my options are...

Originally before I got our tundra we were looking at vans. But after we had the tundra I realized I wanted a more off-road capable vehicle. Vans can be bought in 4wd but are usually more expensive. Vans in general are more expensive since vanlife has happened. I’m aware that ground clearance...

Yea that was my biggest problem with the ‘99 blazer I had was the 4wd stopped working or would go into 4wd sometimes and not others. Also we got stuck in snow in our driveway once when the 4wd wouldn’t work and in my opinion we shouldn’t have been stuck. I’m pretty sure my Toyota Corolla got out...

Yea I’m really not interested in a RTT. While foggy windows aren’t exactly stealthy roof top tents would limit where we could sleep without drawing attention. Also I plan on skiing both backcountry and resort out of whatever I buy I think a RTT would be pretty cold especially if I ever make it...

I’m confused are you saying a 4Runner has more space than a Tacoma? An SUV could definitely be a better buy because it is more secure and waterproof. But mostly because I wouldn’t have to budget for a topper or find a truck that already has one. Some SUVs come with roof racks installed already too.

I’m seeing some domestics going for just as much as Toyota’s with similar mileage on Denver CL. I’ve definitely seen a few that look like a deal but idk. Before I had the tundra I had a ‘99 Chevy blazer and it was easily the worst vehicle I’ve ever owned (not that I’ve owned many and it may have...

Anyone have an opinion on a T100? I’ve seen some 8ft bed vehicles with somewhat decent mileage in my area.

Our cat isn’t big(11lbs) it’s our dog (65lbs) that needs Some space. If I go the pickup rout we had planned on getting a topper and some sort of cargo box/roof storage and maybe a hitch rack for bikes. We had bought an ARE DCU topper with double doors the was a foot higher than the tundras cab...

No it doesn’t necessarily need to be a pickup and I’ve considered getting and xterra but was concerned about storage space. I’ve also considered getting a Toyota pickup like the one above. I wouldn’t mind going slow but don’t they not get that great of gas mileage for the power and payload they...

Yea there aren’t really any mid size pickups with a crew cab and 6’ or longer bed. I think I’ve seen a few older frontiers that do but I’m mainly looking at access cabs for that reason. How do 1st gen sequoias compare in terms of space vs a mid size access cab pickup? Also how well do they...

This is my first post so sorry if there’s a better place to post this. I’m looking for advice on a budget overlanding rig that I will be living/traveling out of for extended periods with my partner our dog and cat. My budget is $4k-8,000ish. I plan on having repair money on top of that. I...
