It's here, and you can see it first. 🔥 The 2027 @toyotausa Tundra Trailhunter is debuting at Overland Expo Mountain West this weekend in Loveland, Colorado Aug. 21-23, and it's one of the first chances for our community to get up close with Toyota's newest overland-ready truck. Here's what makes it trail-ready straight from the factory: - Old Man Emu suspension for added lift and articulation - Michelin LTX Trail 265/70R18 tires on bronze wheels - Factory recovery hooks and skid plates - Multi-Terrain Select, Crawl Control and a locking rear differential - Optional 2.4kW inverter to power your backcountry setup This one was built for the kind of travel, terrain and adventure we all live for. Don't just read about it, come walk around it in person this weekend. Read more on The Compass, linked in our bio! Buy tickets online and save. 🎟️ #OverlandExpo #MountainWest #ToyotaTundra #Overlanding #OffRoad
