With rear suspension mods to handle the extra weight, the current Tacoma and new Chevy Colorado would probably work (except they don't have regular cabs available) but I don't think the market is really there in the US. Like Australia, off roading is very popular but I think in the states we have a lot more pavement out into the "boonies". So, folks camp in motorhomes or truck campers and tow their Jeeps or other off road rigs and take them on the off road trips.
Those engines they have are a bit gutless for Off Road work. Also the frames they are built on are very light duty, they would need to be built as 1tonners, or in the US case on a 1 ton or 2 ton frame, then get beefed up for a "house" to be added.
Yes you have a lot of pavement, so do we in the Outback, BUT we have vastly more wilderness areas than the U.S. Roughly more than half of Australia is desert
