Gear Up for Adventure: How to Stay Equipped for Exploration of All Kinds

You don’t have to be an adventure purist to tackle a trail in a new Toyota Truck. Whether you’re the type that likes to crack climb in the Yosemite Valley or motor down to Baja for a sweet surf break, there’s a truck ready to get you — and your gear — there in style.

That’s why we’re introducing an epic adventure menu of sand, summits, surf, and sunshine, designed to get you geared up and on the road this season with all the right accessories. Think of it like an excursion index that’ll help you select the top-tier gear (and Toyota) for your chosen expedition.

Ready to roll? Read on for five ways to gear up for your next awe-inspiring outing.

Watersports

Whether you’re boogie boarding with the kiddos or up for a stand-up paddle on your Kokopelli Chasm-Lite, there’s no wrong way to enjoy the ocean. Conquer rough, sandy terrain with the ARB TRED Pro Recovery Boards, which help you explore the outermost beaches and surfing hot spots with confidence.

Kick back after your morning excursion with frosty beverages and fresh fruit, stored in a Pelican 20-quart Elite Cooler. You and your beachy crew can snack and lounge all day around the Dometic GO Compact Camp Table and Camp Chairs, which make setting up and taking down your oceanside living room a breeze.

Toyota 4Runner

This highly capable vehicle is built with up to 326 net combined horsepower beneath the hood, so backcountry beaches are no problem. An available Stabilizer Disconnect Mechanism (SDM) offers extra suspension articulation for rough, sandy roads, but the 4Runner’s available on-board air compressor makes it a breeze to inflate a paddle board, a Sportz Air Full size Mattress, or a wacky pool float.

Mountain Running and Hiking

We get it; building a comfortable base camp for long days of peak bagging or creekside strolling can make the difference between restless nights and write-home-worthy afternoons. After lacing up your favorite HOKA trail runners or Oboz hiking boots and cruising around under the dappled light of ancient pines, kick back and unwind in the ample shade of an ARB 4’ Awning.

A Dometic GO Hydration Water Jug 11L and Hydration Water Faucet let you dispense as much water as you need, whether it’s for washing post-chili mac dishes or filling up your CamelBak for a sunset saunter. Just don’t forget the Dometic GO Compact Camping Chairs for stargazing after dark.

Toyota Land Cruiser

Combining Standard Crawl Control (CRAWL) and available Multi-Terrain Select (MTS) with an impressive 326 net combined horsepower, the Land Cruiser can ascend rugged mountain roads with ease. It comes standard with Full-Time 4-Wheel Drive and available Rigid Industries Color-Selectable LED Fog Lights for when the weather outside gets frightful. Plus, with its towing capacity of up to 6,000 pounds, you’ll be able to tackle your favorite trails with your favorite accessories tagging along.

Desert Cycling and Mountain Biking

Speeding down a steep red rock singletrack in Moab or road riding through spiky Joshua Trees can take a lot out of even the most seasoned adventurer. Make your cycling setup more friction-free with a Genuine BedStep or a Thule ProRide XT upright bike carrier, so you can nab (and put away) your trusty Specialized Stumpjumper 15 Alloy with ease.

Then, get your bike adjusted in the shade, utilizing the Dometic HUB 2.0 Inflatable Shelter to stay comfy until you’re ready to roll. We know that rough riding on gravel roads and slickrock mesas can give cyclists a pretty gnarly dirt tan, and having a mounted Yakima RoadShower Portable Pressurized Water Storage makes it a cinch to clean up and cool off at camp.

Toyota Tacoma

With up to 326 horsepower and 465 lb.-ft. of Torque, the Toyota Tacoma is built for wild, wonderful desert days. The available Stabilizer Disconnect Mechanism (SDM) and Crawl Control help ensure great traction and stability on rugged trails, and an available high-tech 3D Multi-Terrain Monitor (MTM) allows the driver to toggle easily between front-, rear-, and side-camera views to check for obstacles, like errant boulders and lumpy washes. Plus, with the option of a roomy 6-foot truck bed, you’ll be able to stash your entire crew’s bikes and gear, no problem.

Family Camping and Cookouts

From tailgating to trout searing and everything in between, getting gourmet in the wild doesn’t have to be a struggle. Keep your mountain of gear secure in a Thule Force 3 L, which provides a whopping 18 cubic feet of storage space when affixed to your favorite Thule roof rack.

Stash your favorite craft brews and a bag of frigid ice for days on end in the Pelican 45QT Elite Wheeled Cooler, and keep kitchen essentials (like butter, grass-fed steaks, and fresh veggies) separate and chilled in a Dometic CFX Series Fridge. Keep your kitchen gadgets, camp lights, and personal electronics charged on the go with the Dometic PLB40 Portable Lithium Battery and a Dometic OBSIDIAN Series Portable Solar Kit.

Toyota Sequoia

The Toyota Sequoia’s i-FORCE MAX Twin Turbo V6 Hybrid engine pairs with a hefty 437 horsepower and up to 22 mpg to get your whole family out of the city and into your chosen adventure in comfort. Powered third-row seats help ensure that the little ones (and Fido) have plenty of space to sprawl, or you can fold them down for more than ample storage space for your camp chef essentials. The Sequoia’s max towing capability up to 9,500 pounds isn’t too shabby, either.

Hunting and Fishing

Whether you’re casting a line for king salmon on the Kenai Peninsula or heading out before the annual elk rut, having a way to safely stash your hunting and angling essentials is of utmost importance. A burly ARB Elements Fridge is designed to keep your chow chilly and fresh, even in the most brutal weather, and the ARB Elements Fridge Tie Down Kit keeps it secure on the roughest roads.

Worried about tough mud or shoulder season snow? The ARB TRED Pro Recovery Boards help you regain traction when you’re stuck down a remote dirt road. Keep critical tools and dry food secure and away from bears with the BX255 Pelican Cargo box, and if you’re bringing your favorite trail dog, don’t skimp on pup favorites, like the Kurgo Zippy Bowl and the uber-durable Kurgo Kibble Carrier.
