Tread Magazine Tread-YOTA 2026 Special Issue

The Summer 2026 issue of YOTA is packed with the builds, upgrades, and real world capability that make Toyota trucks and SUVs so hard to beat. Leading the issue is the Icon Tundra, a build that truly checks every box with a perfect balance of performance, style, and usability. From there, the lineup dives straight into serious off road machines, including the 22 Pro Taco built for backroad punishment and the Meso Taco pushing limits with a no compromise approach.
This issue brings a strong mix of modern innovation and classic Toyota heritage. You will find a 70 Series Maltexplorer built for overland travel with a carbon fiber camper, a clean and capable 4Runner from Ryno Built, and Chalupa, a legendary prerunner brought back to life. There is also a deeper look at craftsmanship and connection with a 1992 Land Cruiser FJ80 build that focuses on reliability, longevity, and the bond that comes with building something that lasts.
On the tech side, you get practical upgrades like Tacoma cargo solutions and a heavy duty bumper install, along with a look at the next generation of performance with a portal equipped 2025 4Runner setting a new standard. Whether you are into trail builds, overland setups, or simply getting the most out of your Toyota, this issue delivers the kind of inspiration and information that makes you want to get out and use it.
