2015 Toyota Tacoma SR5 Access cab long bed 4X4, 4cylinder Manual five speed (SOLD)

One owner – purchase with the idea of being the last vehicle I’d need but life has a way of changing priorities.

Low miles (65,000), exclusively used for vacation travels and mountain biking – not a commuter truck.

Almost entirely stock (except for airbags in rear), never abused, service all handled by Toyota except the last two oil changes (done myself) always using Mobil full synthetic, I’ll also include the rest of the case of OEM Toyota oil filters (8).

Modifications:

·         Toyota FJ wheels – have stock wheels and additional set of FJ wheels

·         Firestone airbags

·         Tow package – wiring for trailer as normal and separate wiring for third brakelight and backup camera on PoD (all connections utilize OEM waterproof connectors – nothing is spliced anywhere on the truck).

·         Custom stealth lockable firearm storage in cab.

The “Escape PoD”

Purchased as a super secure, slide in/out, self contained, off grid camping solution that blends effortlessly into urban as well as remote settings.

PoD details:

Maranda slide in capsule -  https://www.marandacap.com/copie-de-m-90-1

Modifications:

Fully insulated with radiant barrier

Sleeping platform (insulated), foam mattress with additional padding over the “shoulders” of the truck bed.

Integrated storage underneath the sleeping platform for three storage bins and misc room to spare.

Port-a-potty

Two nautical solar vent fans

Carbon Monoxide monitor and smoke detector

USB charging

Voltage monitor

LED lighting

CB and antennae

Deep cycle Interstate battery

Back door security camera with monitor mounted inside the PoD

Third brake light integrated into truck brake lights

Backup camera integrated into standard truck dash display unit – works the same stock camera in tailgate

Fire extinguisher

120vac to 12vdc power supply for shore power when available

Industrial base to slide/roll the PoD onto for storage off the truck




Heating PoD details:

Thule roof box

Diesel heater - entirely self contained in the roof box, heater/diesel tank/exhaust/intake – only requires one connection to the battery in the PoD for power and one connection for the remote/thermostat.

Heating PoD mounts to custom rack using the lift points on the lower sides of PoD and the heat is piped through the rear vent (rear vent spins out).

 


Vestibule details:

8’x8’ popup frame that collapses down for easy storage – comes with rolling bag.

Fabric cover is made from water proof RV storage cover material

The connection to the PoD allows for the doors to remain open but seals off the lower part of truck to minimize dust/wind/insects.

During the winter camping we keep all the sides down to retain heat – in the summer, the two sides roll up and there are screen sides that zip into place and allow for airflow.  There are also pockets at the bottom of each wall to slip in pvc pipes for added stability in windy conditions as needed.

There is enough space in the vestibule for a small kitchen setup/two bikes, seating, and the toilet.  We’ve also used it as an additional sleeping area with the bikes/toilet/cot with plenty of room to spare.

Custom stuff sack to protect the fabric cover and screen sides.
