For Sale: 2016 Toyota Tacoma Limited, double cab, short bed.
The time has finally come to sell my Tacoma and move on to a new project. I bought the truck brand new and have gone through a number of camping configurations but ultimately settled on the Alu-Cab canopy camper and absolutely love it. In terms of efficiency and ease of use I don’t think there is a better setup. I can pull into camp and have the tent popped, awning open, and beer open in under five minutes. The double sided canvas of the tent makes it pitch black inside and keeps out the wind. I’ve built out the camper to include a standing height counter with a sink and Dometic fridge as well as plenty of storage. There is also a bench on the driver and front side of the camper‘s interior that make it comfortable for hanging out in bad weather or pulling on your socks and shoes in the morning. Under the front bench is a 17.5 gallon water tank that’s situated over the rear axle and sits low to the floor as well as additional storage. Under the driver side bench is more storage that can be accessed from inside or outside the camper. The video linked below gives the best explanation and goes into much more detail. Overall this has been a nearly perfect camping setup that is built on a very capable truck.
A walk-around video of the camper can be seen here. Please note this is before the ARB front bumper was added and the camper interior was 100% finished. Completed photos of the interior (namely the structure seen when opening the passenger side access panel of the camper) can be seen in the included photos below.
Details:
- Magnetic metallic grey exterior
- Brown leather interior
- Heated seats
- QI wireless charger
- Dual climate control
- Sunroof
Miles: 50,139
Price: $57,000
Location: Roanoke, Virginia, USA
Features:
Known issues:
Willing to work out shipping or local pickup logistics. Local airport is 20 minutes away.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions regarding the truck and camper even if you’re only looking for ideas or inspiration for your own build.
