American trucks and SUVs are known worldwide for being outrageously big and sturdy. Ford even modeled its slogan for its pickup series after the idea of toughness. Its F-Series is "built Ford tough" after all. While Ford's trucks and SUVs are among the greatest in the world, Toyota has been taking customers away from full-sized truck market.
Toyota is one of the Japanese brands that completely reshaped the market. Though classic Broncos have a terrific reputation, Tacomas are some of Japan's most powerful pickups. On top of being respectably-powered, they are durable and have a great resell value. The Tacoma's cousin, the Hilux, is equally terrific. Will the latest Bronco be the Tacoma's nemesis? Only time will tell. For now, modified Tacomas are still dominating the field.
10Spicy Taco
To anyone living in Southern California, modified Tacomas are a dime a dozen. Given the landscape found near San Diego and Los Angeles counties, it is quite understandable that off-road aficionados have chosen the Tacoma to evolve in these rugged and challenging environments.
This off-road beast is the type of Japanese truck gearheads would take over American trucks any day. Though it is easy to see that it is a '95 Tacoma, the truck was built to navigate Utah's challenging outdoors. This build should give classic Tacoma owners some inspiration if their goal is to own a rock crawling monster.
9Survival Mode
Over the years, pickup trucks slowly but surely replaced SUVs. As SUVs became increasingly road-oriented, people looking for a more versatile vehicle decided to opt for pickup trucks. In fact, SUVs like the Range Rover Velar or the Jeep Trackhawk would crumble off-road. The Tacoma? Sturdy as a rock.
This is definitely the sort of truck one would expect Jocko Willink to drive when taking his family on a holiday. The former Navy SEAL is known for his toughness and motivational talks. This insanely equipped Tacoma fits him perfectly. In fact, this Tacoma would be the best thing to own if things were to go south.
8Attention Grabber
It is often wrongly believed that lifted and murdered-out trucks are a California thing. Though they can be found in about every single state, they do remain a western thing. From Arizona to Washington, insanely modded trucks are everywhere. Not so surprisingly, Tacomas are dominating the scene.
It is fair to say that this Tacoma is modified in a very conventional manner. However, there are times when simplicity is better than an overload of modifications. That being said, the owner of this Tacoma made sure the truck was going to receive the right amount of modifications needed to go off-road and have a swell time.
7Baja Style
The Tacoma is America's favorite medium-size truck for several reasons. First of all, it is a very stylish truck that needs very little in order to look amazing. Second, it was so beautifully engineered that it can last a lifetime. Lastly, it is by far more agile and maneuverable than a Ford Ranger or Chevy Colorado.
As insane as it may seem, this means Tacoma was not built by a professional tuner. Its owner, Sam Webster, completely transformed this 2016 Tacoma. The truck is now far more aggressive and ready to take on the most challenging trails of the Salt Lake City area.
6Double Taco
It is safe to say that some Tacoma owners out there just cannot be satisfied with traditional modifications. A lift kit, a snorkel, and aftermarket front and back bumpers simply are not enough. It is quite rare to see Tacomas being transformed into trailer queens. However, this particular Tacoma should not be used and abused.
This dually Tacoma is the sort of pickup gearheads cannot decide whether to love or hate. Duallies are usually found on large American trucks. Not this time. It is unclear whether the original powerplant produces more torque, however, it is safe to assume that the additional set of wheels was added to serve a particular purpose.
5One Man Army
Being a Tacoma owner and not appreciating the great outdoors is absolutely nonsensical. Tacomas are made to explore the wilderness of a given area. They are the perfect truck to spend time away from the concrete jungle.
The Overland build is simply awesome. It includes about everything one may need to go on a cross-country road trip. This Tacoma is the perfect example that it is possible to discover some of the most remote and untouched spots without shelling hundreds of dollars just to be stuck with a group of obnoxious tourists.
4Rock Crawler
A man and his truck. There should be a book or a TV show with this exact title. There are times when the daily grind takes a toll on someone's psyche. Dealing with hypocritical and useless coworkers, being stuck in traffic, or paying an outrageous amount of money for a cockroach-infested shoebox can become overwhelming. Thank god for nature and Toyota's Tacoma.
It has been said that the Tacoma is overrated. Though the truck is not invincible, it is far from being overrated. Looking at this Tacoma, it is safe to say that is made to obliterate the Rubicon Trail. The very first picture perfectly shows what this Tacoma is capable of achieving.
3Luxurious Tacoma
The Tacoma has undergone about each and every transformation. From the insanely lifted Tacomas to the 900 hp NASCAR Powered V8 Toyota Tacoma Performance truck, the Tacoma has been turned into anything. This particular Tacoma is one of a kind for several reasons.
This is allegedly the world's most expensive Tacoma. With a price tag of $400,000, it is fair to say something special must have been done to this Tacoma. The truck was actually made to reach the South Pole by crossing Antarctica. Under the hood sits a TRD supercharged 4.0L V6 that cranks out 380 hp. The interior is equally aggressive as the exterior.
2Wild Beast
The Tacoma is a very versatile vehicle that is comfortable both on the tarmac and off-road. A Tacoma that exclusively stays on a paved road is quite a sad thing to witness. In countries where rugged terrains are plentiful, the Tacoma is in its favorite element.
Based in Iceland, where things seem to have been made to challenge the most adventurous people, this Tacoma evolves through rocky and muddy trails without any issues. Its humongous wheels paired with a sport suspension system and higher ground clearance give this Tacoma all the equipment needed to breeze through these trails.
1Off-Road Madness
The issue with some Tacoma owners is the fact that they turn it into something plainly despicable. The truck goes from being sporty to becoming utterly useless. However, looks can be deceiving. There are times when Tacomas turned trailer queens are actually off-road beasts.
This Tacoma is wild and is definitely capable of executing some perilous stunts. These stunts would probably destroy a Ford Raptor. However, when a Tacoma is modified to become a genuine off-road beast, it usually makes most American-made off-road vehicles look tame in comparison.
