Toyota Overland-Ready Tacoma Combines Rugged Looks With A Supercharged V6

The SEMA Show is underway and Toyota has used the digital event to unveil the Overland-Ready Tacoma.

Created by 4WD Toyota Owner Magazine, the one-off truck is described as the “ultimate outdoor lifestyle rig featuring a slew of off-road performance upgrades that align with the Tacoma’s ‘go anywhere now’ personality.”

Based on the Tacoma TRD Pro, the model features an aluminum front bumper, a winch and LED auxiliary lights. The truck also sports roof and bed racks as well as a steel rear bumper with dual swingouts. You can also see 16-inch matte black wheels wrapped in meaty BFGoodrich mud-terrain tires.

The upgrades don’t end there as the Tacoma features a Yakima SkyRise cargo bed tent, a Hi-Lift jack and a PowerTank PT10 air compressor. There are also fuel and water storage containers from Rotopax.

The modifications are more than just skin deep as the Overland-Ready Tacoma has an upgraded suspension that includes an add-a-leaf package from ToyTec as well as BOSS Aluma 2.5 Series shocks and coilovers. Other highlights include new upper and lower control arms, a locking rear differential, skid plates and rock sliders.

Under the hood, the Tacoma’s 3.5-liter V6 engine has been equipped with a Magnuson TVS1900 supercharger. It enables the mill to produce 370 hp (276 kW / 375 PS) and 330 lb-ft (447 Nm) of torque, which is a sizable increase of 92 hp (69 kW / 93 PS) and 65 lb-ft (88 Nm).
