Overland Classifieds :: 2013 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road w/ Custom Camper

I know. It’s another Tacoma. Don’t shoot the messenger! The phrase, “If you can’t beat them, join them,” comes to mind. Love or hate this truck, I can honestly say that despite featuring numerous expedition-equipped examples and reading countless online owner reviews, I’ve yet to come across a single horror story. I’m not suggesting the…

Overland Classifieds :: 1994 Toyota Hiace Diesel 4×4 Campervan

Overland Classifieds :: 2022 Toyota Tundra TRD Crew Max Limited

 You really can’t go wrong with Toyota’s current 4WD line-up, whether that’s a Land Cruiser, Hilux, Tacoma, 4Runner, Sequoia, or a Tundra. With excellent reliability, capability, and comfort across the range, the main consideration is which model works best for you. The Land Cruiser is generally regarded as the ultimate overlander (check out Expedition Overland’s…

Overland Classifieds :: 2007 Dodge Sprinter 4×4 Expedition Vehicle

The best overland rigs establish a sweet spot between size, capability, and comfort.  A rig too large is expensive to run, cumbersome when the tarmac ends, and can  prevent access to some locations. Get a rig too small and payload is quickly exceeded, comfort is compromised, and amenities are limited. The most impressive builds are…

Overland Classifieds :: 1999 Mitsubishi Montero Overland Ready

Undoubtedly, Japanese car manufacturers have produced some of the most reliable vehicles ever made, and today’s Montero is no exception. This sought-after Mitsubishi offers many of the same attributes as the Land Cruiser: everyday dependability, excellent build quality, and impressive all-terrain capability—yet it can be purchased for a fraction of the price.  We’ve featured a…

Overland Classifieds :: 2018 Mercedes Sprinter 4×4 170WB Sportsmobile with Alu-Cab Rooftop Tent

The Mercedes Sprinter has become synonymous with vanlife, and while some people have rallied against its popularity with the “One Less Sprinter” movement, there is no denying its appeal.

Overland Classifieds :: 1983 Pinzgauer 712K 6×6 Overlander

I know what you’re thinking: Do I really need a 6WD vehicle? The answer is, of course, a resounding yes. Why? Bragging rights for a start, and while I’m sure there are plenty more reasons, I think I’ve made my point.  The Pinzgauer, much like the Land Rover Forward Control and Volvo C306, is a…

Overland Classifieds :: 2021 Jeep Gladiator Mojave

Perfect overland rigs simply don’t exist, but if they did, they’d look like the Defender 130, the Toyota Troopy, or the Jeep Gladiator, all of which provide excellent 4WD capabilities and just enough payload and space to accommodate a lightweight camper setup. And with enough power and amenities for extended periods off-grid, they come pretty…

The Ford Ranger, much like the Toyota Tacoma, has a reputation for reliability, capability, and build quality and is subsequently a popular daily workhorse. Here in the UK, it’s the best-selling truck on the market, with Auto Express awarding the Ranger “Pick-up of the Year” in 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022. I’d still opt for…
