ICON suspension, 5.29 gears, ARB locker, and a fully integrated overland setup define this 2016 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport Crew Cab, offered by
Auto City in Alhambra, California for $41,990. Showing 75,500 miles, this third-gen Tacoma has been extensively upgraded with a focus on capability, durability, and long-range usability, while remaining a clean, well-maintained driver with a warranty included.
- Tacoma Platform: The third-generation Tacoma debuted for 2016 with updated styling, improved interior refinement, and continued body-on-frame construction. Known for long-term reliability and strong resale value, it remains one of the most supported midsize 4×4 platforms for both daily use and modification.
- 3.5L V6 Performance: Power comes from Toyota’s 3.5L V6 paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. This example benefits from an OV Tune and updated intake manifold, improving throttle response and drivability. Nitro 5.29 gears have been added to properly match the larger tire setup, restoring usable torque and performance.
- Built Drivetrain: This Tacoma is equipped with an ARB Air Locker, upgraded differential components, and a breather kit, giving it a significant advantage in low-traction environments. These are proven, widely used components in serious off-road and overland builds.
- ICON Suspension System: Suspension upgrades include ICON 2.5 coilovers with remote reservoirs, billet upper control arms, hydro bump stops, and a Deaver Stage 3 leaf pack. This setup is designed to improve ride quality, load handling, and off-road control, especially under sustained use.
- Armor and Recovery: The truck is outfitted with RCI Off-Road skid plates and rock sliders, along with Brute Force Fab front and rear bumpers. A Warn ZEON 10-S winch provides reliable recovery capability, rounding out a properly equipped off-road package.
- Overland Integration: This build is configured for extended travel with a dual battery system, onboard ARB air compressor, Front Runner rack, and extensive Baja Designs lighting. Interior systems include an sPOD switch panel, HAM radio, and signal booster, supporting communication and power management in remote environments.
Why This Tacoma? This build reflects a cohesive, system-level approach rather than a collection of parts. Key components like ICON suspension, ARB drivetrain hardware, Warn recovery gear, and Baja Designs lighting are widely recognized for durability and performance. The addition of 5.29 gearing and dual battery management indicates the truck was set up with real-world use in mind. Replicating this combination today would require significant cost and time, making this a strong option for buyers looking for a
turnkey overland-ready Tacoma.
