2022 HUMMER EV Electric Super Truck :: First Off-Road Drive
The GMC HUMMER EV is designed to be an off-road beast, with all-new features developed to conquer virtually any obstacle or terrain.

Overland Classifieds :: 1997 Stewart and Stevenson Class A RV
Are you in constant fear of the apocalypse and the subsequent collapse of civilization? Fear not because you can spectate the zombie hordes from your rolling armoured villa whilst dunking a biscotti in your cappuccino and listening to the silky-smooth jazz of Coltrane. Sure, the living dead just ate your neighbour, but thanks to the…
Eye-Catching Vehicle Builds of Overland Expo West 2021
Photography by Richard Giordano After a hiatus in 2020, Overland Expo West was back in the saddle this past weekend with a busy event at Flagstaff’s Fort Tuthill County Park. Offering their usual jam-packed schedule of roundtables, educational sessions, trail rides, presentations, and vehicle walk-arounds, the Expo fairgrounds were also filled to the brim with…
Overland Classifieds :: 2001 Mitsubishi Fuso FG 4×4 Camper
The Mitsubishi Fuso 4×4 has become a popular choice for overlanders, and for good reason. They offer generous load capacity and living space and are less cumbersome and costly compared to larger 7.5-tonne vehicles. It’s a platform that benefits from Japanese reliability, an impressive 4WD system, and access to parts worldwide. Prices for Fuso builds…
The Fering Pioneer :: An Ultra-Long Range Utility Electric Vehicle from the F1 World
In 2019, former Ferrari and McLaren F1 engineer Ben Scott-Geddes put pen to paper, hoping to design an expedition vehicle capable of a 56,000-kilometer Pole to Pole overland circumnavigation through some of the harshest and remote terrains on the planet. One leg of the journey, from Canada to Russia, was particularly challenging and required a…
Ineos Grenadier Updates
The Ineos Grenadier is the most exciting SUV in decades, providing a 100% fit for purpose design for overland travel. Solid axles, differential locks, long travel, high payload, and a space efficient box design makes it an object of desire for many of us. I had the opportunity to talk with Greg Clark (GM of…
Overland Classifieds :: EARTHCRUISER #64 “Better Than New”
There’s no right or wrong way to travel, and what works for one person might not suit you. Some folks enjoy occasional weekend adventures, others allot weeks or months each year for extended trips, and a minority travel full-time. Similarly, some people want to pack light and embrace a more simplistic way of life, whilst…

Overland Classifieds :: 1992 Range Rover Classic SWB
There aren’t many vehicles quite as timeless and iconic as the Range Rover Classic, and this 1992 SWB variant is a lovely example. I fell in love with the Classic’s styling, V8 burble, and impressive all-terrain performance when it featured on the Top Gear’s “Bolivia Special.” I’ve had a soft spot for it ever since….
Overland Classifieds :: 1994 HZJ75 Land Cruiser + Alu-Cab Hercules
This listing is as much about the vehicle for sale as the team that made it. If you’re unfamiliar with The Fit Garage, then it’s best described as The Fast and the Furious meets Mad Max. It’s a garage where they’ve seemingly struck the perfect balance between creating exquisite, bespoke, one-off vehicles while simultaneously sodding…
The New 2022 Tundra is North America’s New Land Cruiser

BFGoodrich Tires launches Trail-Terrain T/A Tire
I love the versatility, durability, and all-round functionality of BFGoodrich All-terrains, and over the past four years, I’ve put almost 100,000 miles on them (two sets). However, they’re not without drawbacks, and I’ve often wondered why manufacturers don’t produce more tires that strike a middle-ground between road and all-terrain performance. A tire that’s quiet and…

Legacy Overland :: 1961 Land Rover Series IIA 88
One of my close friends owns a Series II Land Rover, and I’m not sure I’ve witnessed anyone simultaneously love and hate something so passionately. The breakdowns are endless, the ride agricultural, safety non-existent, fuel economy abysmal, and brakes—well, who needs them!? Nevertheless, the Series II was the workhorse of its time, easy to fix,…

Send It Foundation Partners with Backcountry for Second Annual SENDtember Campaign
One of the many joys of vehicle-based travel is the ability to spend time in the great outdoors, partaking in activities ranging from riding trails to fishing, camping, hiking, and mountain biking. Adventuring outside has become second nature to many of us, and if our health is sound, we often take this ability for granted….
