GoFastCampers (GFC) is a platform camper company that was founded in Montana in 2017, and its first campers were built around the Toyota Tacoma mid-size pickup truck. With a new 2024 Tacoma on the way, you’d better believe that GFC is ready for it.
Available in versions to fit both five- and six-foot bed lengths, GFC’s new platform camper will fit all versions of the new Tacoma, including the burly TRD Pro and new Trailhunter versions. The opening wedge tent creates a huge eight-foot vaulted ceiling, easily allowing occupants to stand up in the bed, there’s a 50-by-90-inch sleeping area with a three-inch-thick foam mattress inside.
Closed, the tent only adds 6.8 inches to the Tacoma’s overall height, and it clocks in at a feathery 266 pounds in five-foot length or 278 pounds in six-foot length. That is, of course, before you add gear—the roof load capacity is 500 pounds. GFC uses its own aluminum space frame and a honeycomb composite roof to keep weight down, part of why these campers are so popular in the Tacoma community.
In the Tacoma community, GFC already has a solid reputation for building tough, durable, serviceable platform campers and providing white-glove customer service. If you’re a real fan, the move is making the drive out to Bozeman to personally take delivery of your new GFC camper, then go adventuring around Montana.
If you’ve got a 2024 Tacoma on order, GFC is now taking preorders for the new camper. With a 10–12 week lead time, that’ll get you a place in the queue until your Tacoma build spec is confirmed, and then GFC will build your camper to order. The starting price is $7700, which seems reasonable for a camper that is built to last just as long as your outdoor exploration rig—even if that rig is a Tacoma.
