Overland Classifieds :: 2017 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 4×4 2500

The perfect overlanding vehicle doesn’t exist, but the Mercedes Sprinter 4×4 comes pretty close. I know that statement will agitate many of you, but let me explain. I’m not suggesting the Sprinter stands out in any one particular area, but it does seem to offer an acceptable compromise in almost all scenarios. In other words,…

Overland Classifieds :: Ford E-350 LB Quigley 4×4

E-Series vans benefit from powerful engines, strong drivetrains, and readily available 4×4 conversions, modifications, and accessories. Furthermore, they’re comfortable for full-time living, yet compact enough to drive daily. This stunning low-mileage (55,000 miles) example showcases a Quigley 4×4 conversion, premium modifications, tasteful camper interior, and is priced at just $59,000 OBO. That’s no small sum…

Overland Classifieds :: 2008 Toyota Sequoia Limited

I recently shared a $12,500 2005 Toyota Sequoia that has since sold and was surprised to see another listed this week. The Sequoia is not the first name that comes to mind when we think about overlanding, but with a long-lived 5.7-liter V8, Toyota’s impressive All-Trac 4WD system, and a center locking differential, it’s a…

Overland Classifieds :: 2003 Toyota Land Cruiser

The Toyota Land Cruiser needs no introduction and remains the 4WD by which all others are measured. Bombproof reliability, whatever the weather or terrain, global parts availability, class-leading build quality, excellent all-terrain capabilities, and a generous suite of driver comforts are just a few of the Land Cruiser’s offerings. I recently featured this 2005 Toyota…

Overland Classifieds :: 2005 Toyota 4Runner

It’s all too easy to get starry-eyed and lose sight of what you really need while perusing the beautiful rigs listed on our forum. It’s not unusual to see huge 4WD expedition trucks change hands within months, owners realizing the running costs and upkeep are simply unsustainable or overkill for their goals. The best overland…

Shackleton’s Lost Ship, the Endurance, Has Been Found

“Men wanted for hazardous journey, small wages, bitter cold, long months of complete darkness, constant danger, safe return doubtful, honor and recognition in case of success.” – unverified recruitment ad written by Ernest Shackleton for his Trans-Antarctic Expedition (1914-1917). The objective was to complete the first land crossing of the Antarctic continent, but en route,…

Overland Classifieds :: 2021 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road

The dominance of the Tacoma on our forum was briefly interrupted by several monster Ram builds, including this 2020 3500 and 2013 2500. Well, with diesel prices hitting a record £1.80 per liter here in the UK, I’m struggling to justify my Webasto heater, let alone a 6.7-liter Cummins. Forgive me, Tacoma, I was misguided…

Overland Classifieds :: 2020 Ram 3500 Norweld Touring Setup

Here in the UK and wider Europe, it’s unusual to see Ram trucks, and I assume that’s due to their big motors and subsequent running costs. At £1.49 ($2) per liter for diesel, a 6.7-liter Cummins is simply not a viable option. Running costs aside, I think Ram makes some of the best-looking, well-equipped, and capable…

Overland Classifieds :: Overland-ready 2005 Toyota Sequoia

During the pandemic, overlanding has exploded in popularity, and subsequently, used vehicles are selling at a premium. Traditionally, vehicle travel has been a cost-effective way to see the world, so it can be frustrating as a prospective buyer watching rigs sell for hugely inflated prices. However, there are still deals to be had, and this…

Destination: Isle of Skye

I’ve been fortunate enough to visit many beautiful destinations around the world, but something always draws me back to Scotland, and more specifically, the magical Isle of Skye. At 639 square miles, this rugged island is the largest in the Inner Hebrides and showcases some of the country’s most dramatic landscapes. Moreover, it is of…

Overland Classifieds :: 2012 Adrenalin Industries Expedition Truck

There are a few key companies producing ultra-expensive overland rigs; those that come to mind include EarthCruiser, Global Expedition Vehicles, and EarthRoamer. However, premium trucks from lesser-known companies are occasionally listed on our forum— examples include this $468,000 1997 Stewart and Stevenson Class A RV and a $290,000 Mercedes-Benz Vario 814D 4×4. It’s always refreshing…

Overland Classifieds :: 2008 Ford F-450 Camper

I’m not sure what’s more impressive, this beautifully designed overland-ready F-450 or the stunning photography accompanying the listing. This 2008 Super Duty has covered just 110,000 miles, incorporates several premium overlanding modifications, and features an insulated aluminum framed camper that weighs under 1,000 pounds. However, perhaps the most notable inclusion is the beautiful wooden rear…

Overland Classifieds :: 2015 Nissan Xterra Pro 4X

The Nissan Xterra isn’t the first vehicle that comes to mind when we think about overlanding rigs, but that’s part of the charm. I’ve always liked the Xterra’s rugged looks, but I have to say that the premium Pro 4X package looks absolutely fantastic. With the optional off-road lights, roof rack, 16-inch uprated alloy wheels,…

Overland Classifieds :: 1997 Ford E-350 Quigley 4×4 Ambulance

Ex-ambulances are a popular choice for camper conversions as they offer more living space than a standard van while being more cost-effective than buying an actual motorhome or investing in a custom habitation box. E-350 ambulances are regularly listed on the forum (see this recent 2000 model), but it’s more unusual to find one that…

Overland Classifieds :: 2005 Toyota Land Cruiser

This stunning 2005 Cruiser has covered just 93,000 miles and was professionally outfitted for overland travel by industry experts Slee Offroad. The current owner went to the company in 2011 for a “no-expense-spared” build-out, which included many specialist parts and accessories designed to enhance the vehicle’s already impressive go-anywhere credentials. Furthermore, this Land Cruiser has…
