Toyota just gave us a glimpse of what’s possible when you take a proven truck and go further down the electrification rabbit hole. Enter the Toyota Tacoma H2-Overlander Concept debuting at the 2025 SEMA Show in Las Vegas. This takes the current-generation Tacoma and injects it with serious electrification tech from Toyota’s hydrogen fuel cell and battery-electric portfolio. Engineers also relied heavily on advanced CAD modeling and 3D printing to develop this epic overlanding truck.
As a result, the Toyota Tacoma H2-Overlander Concept works as a true base camp on wheels. It features a 15-kW takeoff capable of power-intensive tasks. The truck can also charge two EVs simultaneously, thanks to its dual NEMA 14-50 outlets. Developed by Toyota Racing Development (TRD) engineering teams based in California and North Carolina, the H2-Overlander Concept showcases the potential of hydrogen fuel cell technology in applications beyond commercial vehicles. It features two electric motors that make a combined 547 horsepower backed by a 24.9-kWh battery. The truck also utilizes the Mirai’s second-generation fuel cell stack and three hydrogen tanks, which are mounted within its frame rails.
Toyota Tacoma H2-Overlander Concept: Redefining “Go Anywhere”
To help put the power down effectively, the Tacoma H2-Overlander Concept includes a front limited-slip differential and a rear electronic locking differential. It also includes a TRD billet long-travel kit, heavy-duty FOX Performance Elite Series shocks, and upgraded front brakes. The truck includes 17-inch wheels shod in 35×12.5R17 off-road tires for extra traction. To help keep it cool, it features upgraded cooling system components from the Tacoma TRD Pro and Lexus RZ. These ensure thermal stability under load for the hydrogen and electric components. Additionally, the truck also has a TRD exhaust water recovery system that captures and filters the water produced by the fuel cell stack, making it suitable for washing and showering.
As for its exterior styling, the Tacoma H2-Overlander Concept featured recycled carbon-fiber aero panels, heavy-duty off-road front and rear bumpers, integrated recovery points, a winch, and dual swingouts. The development team also added tie-downs and a storage area for the recovery boards.
