When you go camping, you need an efficient, reliable vehicle that can support all your camping gear and access the best off-road campsites. Without the right car, you won’t be able to take the supplies you need, and you probably won’t be able to drive into forests and woods without getting stuck or experiencing some problems.
Toyota offers a number of trucks and sport utility vehicles that are more than capable of getting you and your passengers to your camping destination. Here are four of the best Toyota vehicles to take camping:
1. Toyota FJ Cruiser
With a look and style that mirrors that of the Toyota FJ40, which was released in the 1960s, the Toyota FJ Cruiser has a sturdy frame and plenty of clearance so you can drive through streams and climb roads most other utility vehicles are unable to reach. The storage capacity in the FJ Cruiser offers a maximum of 66.8 cu. ft., which is more than enough room for five passengers and camping gear. This Toyota model is also powered by a 4.0-liter V6 engine with the option for four-wheel drive and can tow up to 4,700 pounds.
2. Toyota 4Runner
The Toyota 4Runner has been around for over 30 years and features durable, aggressive all-terrain tires that can drive through rocks, dirt, and mud so you can reach your campsite with ease. The vehicle’s body-on-frame construction makes the 4Runner ideal for harsh trails and other treacherous road conditions — a fact Toyota has backed up by stating that 90 percent of all 4Runners sold within the last 10 years are still on the road today. The back seats in the 4Runner even fold down so you can accommodate up to 88 cu. ft. of camping gear and cargo.
3. Toyota Land Cruiser
The Toyota Land Cruiser is powered by a 5.7-liter V8 engine that allows the vehicle to conquer the most weather-beaten of trails and boasts solid axle rear suspension that allows for seamless movement in rougher off-road conditions. The Land Cruiser comes with Crawl Control, which allows the vehicle to make easier turns on narrow trails. Newer models of the Toyota Land Cruiser come equipped with second- and third-row seats that can be folded down to accommodate 81.7 cu. ft. of cargo room.
4. Toyota Sequoia
The Toyota Sequoia is the ultimate camping vehicle if you’re driving lots of passengers and pets, as the vehicle offers comfortable seating for up to eight people. After folding down all rear seats, the Sequoia features a whopping 120.1 cu.ft. of cargo capacity so you can take a friend or partner on a week-long outdoor adventure. The Sequoia is powered by a 5.7-liter V8 engine, and can tow up to 7,400 pounds so you can take boats and other vehicles with you on your trip.
Your vehicle can make all the difference on a camping trip, so why not choose a vehicle that can support your adventures? Toyota can provide you with everything you need and more when camping and going off-road.
