This is the Most Rare Toyota Tundra Model to Exist

I'm in love. What do you think, is this the unicorn of the Toyota world?

I own a black 2013 5.7L RCSB TRD Off Road 4X4 with the center console and shifter. I'm the original owner with 24K mi right now. Every time I consider getting something newer I think about how reliable and versatile it is. All that space behind the seats means you can carry your important stuff securely and out of the elements. It's a rare beast with the power and capacity to haul and tow just about anything yet park in regular parking spaces because it only has the footprint of a Tacoma. My only mods are supersprings, Line-X spray in bedliner, headache rack and aftermarket LCD radio. Not only is it rare but it's a jewel of a vehicle.

[@nationalparksinsider]

I've actually owned 2 Tundra RCSB TRD Off Roads: A 2010 and a 2013. I got so excited when I saw this video pop up on my recommendations! A guy who works at the factory was on TundraTalk and said he estimated they made less than 500 RCSB Tundras a year during the entire Gen 2 production run. Mine were both 2 seaters with the center console. Most of these got exported. They are very popular in Saudi Arabia apparently. I'd be happy to talk about my experience with these trucks if you ever want to do a followup or a collab video.

You’re not kidding about a unicorn that truck with the condition,low mileage is almost unbelievable. Lots of luck. I love regular cab trucks but nowadays most manufacturers only produce these in work truck trim . Great find .

[@scoobiedoo2517]

Sweet truck. Mine is an 07 black reg cab short box 2 wheel drive. Just turned over 280000 miles. Still runs great. I get people wanting to buy it from me all the time, but it's a keeper. I bought it brand new and have loved it ever since.

[@Pantelifts10]

Had a 2010 Tundra 4x4 TRD regular cab black with the 4.6L in it. Didnt realize how rare it was when i bought it. It also had 1600lbs payload. Very decent truck all around and very rare too. Used it for my business but needed something much bigger eventually so i sold it this spring.

[@CJDiecast]

Man, that Tundra is super clean. I wouldn't even touch it at all. Keeping it in its truest form makes it look its best. IMHO, I hate lifted or heavily modified trucks. Most are very tasteless and are only used as status symbols or for looks. To me, the best looking truck is one that's bone stock with very light or tasteful OEM modifications such as running boards, tonneau covers, mud flaps, etc. Nothing too crazy. And to see a 2010 single cab with only 27,000 miles on it in a rare color, you definitely have a unicorn. Definitely keep it simple like you said. Don't go too crazy and make it ugly. Who knows, it might even be a collector's item one day.

[@socalexpeditions]

I know just what the truck needs to make it a better version of itself!

[@jonnyutah.308]

I’d hold on to this one for a while. Like, a long while. These 5.7L single cab short beds are only gonna get more rare and far more expensive to find in the coming years. Unicorn is a understatement! Keep this one or sell it to me please👏🏻🤙🏻

[@johnm4579]

What a great looking truck, I'm big Toyota fan and had two original T-100 full size pickup. I had a DX and then upgraded to SR5, these trucks run forever.

You may have mentioned this, but did you disclose how you found this awesome truck? I'm looking for one now just via normal search engines, and just wondering what worked for you.

[@socalexpeditions]

I'd shop 2010-2013. I searched every single hour for months. Passed up anything that had the slightest sign of rust, or didn't have the cam tower already fixed in the CarFax. This one was actually from a tip and I had a deposit set before anyone could see it.

Nice truck. I have a 2013 TSS Tundra. I love using E85. Its cheaper, burns cleaner and gives you a little more HP. Care to share why you wouldn't want to use it?

[@socalexpeditions]

Ethanol is pretty corrosive. You'll have to change your oil half as often, decreased MPG, and it will wear down things like fuel lines, injectors, fuel pump, etc. at an increased rate. I've ran that stuff in my Subaru's for high boost applications but that's about the only time I'd run it.

On the other hand I have a 2006 Tundra double cab with 212,000 on it. I don’t think I could part with either truck.

Well I encourage you to try and find a low mileage 5.7L 4x4 RCSB Tundra with 0 rust. Let me know when you find it and how much, the last one I saw was $34,000 on bring a trailer. They made a tick over 5,000 RCSB 5.7L 4x4s in the span of 6 years.

Back in the day toyota dealerships would put on a supercharger for tacos and warantee it. So exhaust aint much. Sad to see the cummins gone though. Didnt know there was a tundra single short bed. Great find at 26k miles though! Ive always wanted a 1500 cummins, thats why i bought the ecodiesel. Def check out what you do with it. And fyi i didnt ever want a red truck till i got one and then it grew on me after i slapped on some black rims/tires couple extra black bits and it looked really good. Nice score though 26k miles, those type of finds are extremely rare, and a singlecab short bed... dang.

@socalexpeditions Cool. Thanks for the reply. I've been looking at swapping out my 05 sequoia for something a little newer with a few less miles for a camping/mountain/overlanding rig. I've mainly been focused on tacomas and 4runners. And then I saw one of these single cab 2nd gen tundras for sale in my area and thought, huh, that would make a perfect overland rig if I added a topper. My dad has an 09 tundra 4 door 4x4 sr5 with the 79 inch bed, and I've always liked that truck. The issue with that truck is that it's a bit long for an off roader/overlander. But that 2 door is 19 inches shorter, but with same length bed. Plus that 5.7 on a smaller lighter truck seems like it would be awesome. Tons of options for toppers and high end aftermarket suspension. Suddenly I'm considering it as a great option. From your experience with your truck off road, do you think it would make a good overlander? What do you think of the ride on and off road?

Fair enough. From 2007-2013 were the only years these Regular Cab Short Beds were made. A total of 5,063 of them during those 6 years. In 2010, there were only 916 of them made. Most of these 4x4 trucks were exported to Saudi Arabia and other countries. Finding one in the states, not rusted out, in an optioned color (not the standard white, grey, red, black), with low miles, and that is 4x4 with the 5.7L is very difficult. I hope the helps.
