Australia-based REDARC has long produced a fleet of Toyota Hilux vehicles that it managed and custom-outfitted to make capable of exploring the harsh and unforgiving climate of the Australian Outback.
Now, the company has brought that engineering to the first addition to its North American fleet – an Overland-ready, REDARC-equipped 2021 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road.
The new REDARC Tacoma has been custom-outfitted for North American adventure. The off-road machine comes with a camping platform, electrical powerhouse outfitted with two dual battery systems and a custom Mits Alloy canopy. The build has off-road and overland abilities, but specifically showcases the cutting-edge technology and 12-volt capabilities made possible with REDARC products, the company said.
“The onboard power system in this Tacoma features all of the things REDARC are famous for – rugged, innovative and reliable off-grid gear” said Craig Herriot, general manager for International Sales at REDARC. “And this system is something our customers and outfitters can easily replicate. REDARC offers power solutions for any build and all the components being modular and compatible means you can start small and build up your vehicle as you need. The products are easy to install and easy to upgrade, and we offer a solution for any kind of rig for any kind of travel and overlanding lifestyle.”
The REDARC products installed in this Tacoma allow the user to:
- Unify accessories for centralized monitoring and control (RedVision Manager30 Kit)
- Jump start the starter battery from auxiliary battery (SBI)
- Charge from DC, AC and Solar inputs (Manager30)
And much more. To be able to reach extreme off-grid destinations, additional modifications were made using only the best gear available, the company said. Each component was hand selected for quality, durability and reliability, REDARC said.
