2021 Jeep Gladiator Sport S w/ Alu-Cab Canopy Camper
There’s no shortage of suitable mid-size pickups for travel, and a growing number of OEMs offer rugged out-of-the-box packages to uprate their trucks for adventure.

2017 Chevrolet Express 3500 :: Featured Classified – SOLD
I’ve lived on the road for almost 15 years, and most of this time was spent living in vans.

1995 Land Rover Defender 110 Project Meridian :: Featured Classified
In the world of overlanding, there’s arguably nothing more evocative than a classic Land Rover.

A few years back, I spent a year living and traveling in a 1992 Mitsubishi Delica L300 with little more than a bed platform and a battery system, which was a stark adjustment to my fully equipped Vanagon Syncro.

2024 INEOS Grenadier Trialmaster w/ Alu-Cab Silenus Roof Conversion :: Featured Classified
There’s no shortage of 4WDs on the market offered with optional backcountry-focused packages.
