Marty, thank you for creating this great camper, but you are wrong about one thing.(around 3'50") Not all overlanders are macho guys who are into cars and love manual transmission. I have been searching for an off-road camper vehicle that is absolutely reliable and provides great maneuverability and security with decent amenities. Because I don't know much about cars (I'm not apologetic about not being a "driver who knows the car"), and the last thing I wish to happen in the middle of nowhere is my car getting stalled due to a mechanical breakdown or the vehicle being incapable of handling the road condition. Being a female photographer/solo camper, having access to the hard-walled cabin without getting out of the vehicle is one of the must-haves for me. The kitchen, toilet, and shower are also must-have items. I was looking for a sprinter type of van, but I realized these vans can't get me where I want to be. TacoZilla's concept actually fits better for non-"driver" people like me. Many photographers traveling solo to the wilderness would feel the same. The naming made me think of Taco food truck, and the outdated color may need to be changed as the younger generation doesn't know about CHINOOK and has no nostalgic thoughts about it. As I can't afford 325K TruckHouse's BCT, I hope TOYOTA will manufacture automatic "TacoZilla" (under a new name and stylish color) with a solar option.

Looks cool, but I'd want a powerful solar system on it. I'd also like it to have a microwave and a chest freezer. I assume that the Tacoma is a smaller platform compared to an F-150 or F-350? I think I've seen some interesting builds that had the items I wanted. I'd also like it to have a Separett Toilet. It's a similar situation to a compost toilet w/o the compost. It just has to be vented out and have a fan and a vent w/ a grill to prevent critters climbing in. It's a nice build for sure. I'm trying to save money to buy something like that. I plan on being a nomad so being able to go for up to 6 days into the wilderness and do one day in civilization is my plan. I can grin and bear one shower a week so I'd probably use the shower in an emergency only, but I like having it. An outside shower would also be cool so that one can clean things off before getting in. Hope these items give you guys some ideas. Will this have an Onan generator for power from the gas tank? It's cool to have multiple sources of power just in case. Thanks!

Probably been said before in the comments, but adding my 2 cents cause I just found this vid: a) Can't argue with Tacoma pro's on the off road cred showing in this build. Tacoma's are what they are because of Baja and other races and the research that has gone into the basics of these trucks. (That said, is the boxed frame truly gone?) b) Manual transmission all the way. Learn it, you'll love it. Have someone teach you and you will absolutely believe it is the way to go. c) Make a pop top version for streamlining and possibly lowering the cost. d) I'd pay $70K for the base plus $10K for options
