If you’ve lived in the Willamette Valley long enough, you know the drill. One minute you’re grabbing coffee in downtown Corvallis, and the next, you’re navigating the switchbacks of Highway 20 heading toward the Coast Range.

But for those who want to reach the very top—where the clouds break at Marys Peak—a standard truck isn’t always enough. That’s why we built the Corvallis Custom: a one-of-a-kind 2026 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport designed specifically for the rugged terrain of the Pacific Northwest.

The Build: Engineered for the Siuslaw National Forest

Our latest custom project didn’t just happen by accident. It was built for a local adventurer who needed a truck capable of handling the unmaintained forest roads and unpredictable winter weather of the Siuslaw National Forest.

1. The Lift: More Than Just an Aesthetic We’ve outfitted this Tacoma with a professional suspension lift. While it looks aggressive, the real benefit is ground clearance. Whether you’re clearing snow berms on the way to a winter trailhead or navigating the deep ruts of the Marys Peak-to-Harlan route, that extra height is the difference between a great day out and getting stuck.

2. The Grip: Falken Wildpeak A/T Tires In Oregon, rain is a given, but snow is the challenge. We chose Falken Wildpeak A/T tires for this build because of their legendary “Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake” rating. These aren’t just “off-road” tires; they are engineered to provide maximum traction on icy pavement and slushy grades—exactly what you encounter as you climb the 4,000+ feet to the Marys Peak summit.

3. The Power: i-FORCE Turbocharged Performance Under the hood, the 2026 Tacoma’s i-FORCE engine provides the torque needed for steep inclines. Paired with the lifted stance, this TRD Sport offers a “planted” feel that gives you total confidence behind the wheel.

Dream It, Build It: Your “Exclusive” Toyota

This specific Tacoma was an exclusive build for a customer who dreamt it up, but it serves as the perfect blueprint for what we can do for you. At Toyota of Corvallis, we believe your vehicle should be as unique as your favorite hiking trail.
