The new Toyota Tacoma is more overland-friendly than ever thanks to the new Trailhunter trim, but for those looking to go the aftermarket route, there’s a company that has released a pop-up camper for the 2024 Tacoma before the truck’s even gone on sale. That company, GoFastCampers (GFC), got their start making Tacoma campers, so it only seems fitting that they’d be the first to make one for the first all-new Tacoma in nearly a decade. This new camper is designed to fit both the five- and six-foot versions of the Tacoma, with the two options weighing in at 121 and 126 kg respectively.
GFC is able to keep weight down due to the
camper’s efficient construction, which incorporates a honeycomb roof and
aluminum space frame to create a lightweight design that doesn’t compromise on
strength. And on the topic of that weight, the roof of the camper is able to
support as much as 227 kg of dynamic loading with the optional roof
bars. The camper only adds 17.3 cm to the Toyota‘s height when
closed, but with the pop-up tent fully opened, occupants are treated to up to 8
feet of headroom. The sleeping area measures 1.27 by 2.29
meters, and it comes complete with a 7.6 cm dual-density memory
foam mattress.
Underneath the camper, the truck’s bed
remains fully usable, and the T-track mounting surfaces allow any peripherals
to be mounted with ease. Fold-out side panels also ensure that all your gear is
secure when you want it to be, while still allowing the option of an open-air
experience when parked.
Pricing starts at US$ 7,700, and if you
really want, you can order one now for any Tacoma trim. At the moment, the lead
time for pre-orders is about 10-12 weeks before GFC confirms your custom build
and makes it to order, but that might not be a problem if your 2024 Tacoma has
yet to be delivered in the first place. Regardless, the company stated that the
earliest delivery for any of these campers will happen no sooner than January
4th, 2024.
