Which camper
for a Tacoma?
Tune M1, Scout Tuktut or Scout Yoho: we compare weight, sleeping space, fit and budget to help you choose the right camper for your Tacoma.
Before you choose
The Tacoma, a great starting point.
The Toyota Tacoma is one of the most popular overland trucks: reliable, nimble on the trail and compact enough for the city. But it’s a mid-size truck, and its payload is limited. So before looking at options and colours, the first thing to check is the camper’s weight.
In this guide, we compare the three campers we recommend most often for a Tacoma: the Tune M1, the Scout Tuktut and the Scout Yoho. Each has a very different personality, from the lightest to the best equipped.
2026 Tacoma i-FORCE MAX (hybrid), Double Cab 4x4: the highest payload available in Canada.
Gas versions offer 1,411 to 1,521 lb (source: Downtown Toyota). Your exact payload is on the label in the driver’s door jamb.3 questions to ask yourself
What’s my payload?
It has to cover the camper, passengers, water, propane and your gear. Keep a safety margin.
5 ft or 6 ft bed?
The Tacoma comes with a short (5 ft) or long (6 ft) bed. Not every camper fits both.
How do I camp?
Solo or as a couple, as a family, on weekends or for weeks off-grid: the right camper depends on how you travel.
The contenders
Three campers, three philosophies.
Tune M1 / M1L
An ultralight pop-up camper that keeps your Tacoma nimble. The M1 has “WingWall” sides for east-west sleeping; the M1L is even lighter and more affordable.
- About 400 lb (M1) or 350 lb (M1L)
- Low profile on the road
- Generous interior height once open
- Base to outfit as you need
- Soft walls: less insulated than a hardside
Scout Tuktut
A minimalist hardside camper designed for compact and mid-size trucks. A “blank canvas” to outfit, lighten or reconfigure as your adventures evolve.
- Hardside, lighter than the Yoho
- Modular and customizable
- Compact, easy to handle
- Sleeps 2
- 5 ft bed only
Scout Yoho
The complete hardside camper for mid-size trucks: lithium battery, propane, water and sleeping space for the whole family. Available as a Hardwall or Pop Up.
- Sleeps up to 4
- 132 Ah lithium, propane, water
- Ready for off-grid
- The heaviest: ~904 to 937 lb
- Plan suspension upgrades on a Tacoma

The comparison at a glance.

| Sleeps | 2 | 2 | Up to 4 |
| Power | Optional solar | Optional modules | 132 Ah lithium standard |
| Tacoma bed | 5 ft (6 ft to confirm) | 5 ft | 5 ft and 6 ft |
| Seasons | 3-season | 4-season | 4-season |
| Starting at | $12,830 | $37,956 | $42,187 |
Do the payload math
Example with the highest-payload Tacoma in Canada (1,610 lb, i-FORCE MAX hybrid) and two adults (about 340 lb). What’s left covers water, propane, food and gear.
All three campers fit, but the margin varies a lot. With the Tuktut and the Yoho, water, propane and gear add up quickly: weigh your load and consider a suspension upgrade. On a gas Tacoma (1,411 to 1,521 lb), the margin is even thinner. We can advise you based on your truck at our Plessisville shop.
Our verdict
Which one is right for you?
Tune M1 / M1L
You want to keep your Tacoma nimble, use less fuel and head out solo or as a couple on weekends. It’s also the smallest budget to get started.
Scout Tuktut
You want the strength and insulation of a hardside camper, for two, in a more compact and lighter package than the Yoho. Ideal on a 5 ft bed.
Scout Yoho
You travel as a family or for long stretches off-grid, in every season, and want a complete camper from day one. Plan for a suitable suspension.
