the toyota TRD-sport trailer packs just about everything you’ll ever need

in the past years, the overlanding trend — a fusion of camping and off-roading — has delighted us with different alternatives to travelling creatively and in style. add the COVID-19 pandemic to this, which has many of us rethinking the way we travel, and you will get one of the most complete basecamp solutions ever: the toyota TRD-sport trailer.

‘overlanding has been picking up steam for quite some time, but 2020 just put it over the top,’ said ed laukes, group vice president – toyota division marketing. ‘given toyota’s solid off-road credentials and reputation, we thought it would be really cool to create the ultimate overlanding companion to our pickup and SUV lineup.’

the toyota TRD-sport trailer references the toyota tacoma bed as the perfect overlanding platform, offering lots of space while maintaining a low center of gravity and a good approach angle. it features a scissor-lift that raises an innovative rigid platform several feet out of the bed. a yakima four-person tent complete with an awning and fly fishing-pole holders, a custom-built toilet and trash can, a refrigerator, a hot water heater, shower curtain, a generator, a battery, a 16-gallon fresh water reservoir tank, a 15-gallon gray water holding tank, and a slide-out sink and stove ensure you will have everything you need while off the road.

when fully deployed, the TRD-sport trailer creates a campsite with ample room, and to illuminate the surroundings the team added multiple RIGID A-series accessory LED lights that pack a powerful punch while drawing an extremely low amount of power. when lower light is needed, say for star gazing, explorers can switch to lower-level lighting thanks to multiple yakima sunbelt light strips.
