The Ram 2500 owes much of its popularity to powerful and long-lived engines, excellent 4WD performance, generous payload and towing capacity, and luxurious trim packages. We’ve recently shared several overland-ready examples, such as this 2021 6.4-liter Hemi w/ FWC and a 2020 w/ OEV Flatbed Camper. Today’s offering is a more unusual 6-speed manual, which…
Overland Classifieds :: 2003 Ford E-350 4×4 7.3 Diesel
We’ve recently featured several overland-ready E-350 4×4 vans, including this 2006 4×4 6.0-liter Diesel and a 2012 RB Baja Rig. Ford E-Series vans are a popular choice for vehicle travel due to their dependable engines and drivetrains, readily available 4×4 conversions (from Quigley 4×4 and Quadvan), and accessibility of OEM and aftermarket parts. If you’re…
Overland Classifieds :: 2017 Ram Power Wagon w/ EarthCruiser GZL 400
The Power Wagon is one of the few trucks purposefully designed for all-terrain travel and is consequently very capable when the tarmac ends. It is, therefore, no surprise that the Ram is a popular choice for expedition builds, with recent examples including this heavily modified 2019 Power Wagon and a 2012 Laramie w/ FWC Hawk…
Overland Classifieds :: 2006 Ford E-350 4×4 6.0-liter Diesel
We’ve recently shared a number of E-350 builds to our classifieds, including this $119,000 E-350 Quad Van and a $145,000 V10 Sportsmobile. Today’s 2006 E-350 shares many of the same desirable features but is considerably cheaper at $75,000 and is more economical thanks to its 6.0-liter Power Stroke diesel. From the Seller: “Owned and loved…
Overland Classifieds :: 1997 Toyota Tacoma 4×4 with Four Wheel Camper
The popularity of the Tacoma amongst overlanders is truly astonishing and a testament to the build quality, reliability, and capability of these trucks. This model may not be the most luxurious, but it’s a dependable daily workhorse, excellent when the tarmac ends, and parts are available worldwide. Over the past few months, we’ve featured some…
Overland Classifieds :: 2020 Man World Overland Expedition 4WD Camper
I recently shared this $675,000 SLRV Expedition Vehicle and made the irrefutable point that it was a small price to pay for “wine storage for 20 bottles.” However, I appreciate that not everyone can afford a luxurious 6WD rolling palace and that our classifieds need to be balanced with something more affordable. Today’s budget-friendly offering is…
Overland Classifieds :: Land Rover Discovery I 300tdi Pop-Top Camper
We’ve featured several impressive Discoverys recently, including a 2000 V8 Overland Rig and a 2001 Discovery II. As a Defender fan, I’d previously overlooked older Discoverys, but after seeing these builds, I became completely obsessed, and now find myself perusing classifieds in search of one. The Discovery effectively carries forward many of the benefits of…
Destination :: Capileira, Spain
Nestled in the Sierra Nevada mountain range, at an altitude of 4,711 feet (1,436m), is the quaint village of Capileira. The first time I set eyes on this idyllic settlement I was descending from 7,355 feet (2,242m) after spending a chilly night camped outside of the Refugio Del Punto (one of a series of mountain…
Overland Classifieds :: 2021 SLRV Expedition Vehicle on Acela 6×6 Chassis
I’ve recently shared several affordable overland rigs, including this $15,500 Tacoma TRD 4×4 and a $20,000 Lexus LX450, but amazingly neither rig offered “wine storage for 20 bottles,” which simply will not do. Obviously, extra features will come at a cost, but can you really put a price on safely transporting your Barolo? Well, it…
Overland Classifieds :: 1982 Volkswagen Vanagon Westfalia
The Vanagon has become a symbol of freedom, wanderlust, and the great open road. It is therefore no surprise that this classic has swiftly become a desirable social media icon. The Vanagon is often viewed through rose-tinted spectacles, which can serve up some harsh realities for those expecting an adventure-ready turnkey rig. As an owner…
Overland Classifieds :: 2000 Land Rover Discovery
The Discovery was designed to carry forward Land Rover’s legendary utilitarian credentials while introducing a new level of driver refinement. In many ways, this model set the tone for all future Land Rovers, which are now almost indistinguishable from their Range Rover counterparts. Consequently, these older Discoveries offer a sweet spot between the rugged workhorse…
Overland Classifieds :: 2014 Toyota 4Runner Trail
If you’re looking for a rig that can do it all, the 4Runner is a fantastic option. I spent a significant amount of time in one exploring Minnesota this past winter, and despite extreme sub-zero temperatures, it ran flawlessly and was very comfortable. While they may not be the most well-equipped from the factory (the…
Overland Classifieds :: 2021 Toyota Tundra SR5 Double Cab with AT Overland Atlas Topper
If you’re looking for a daily driver that can also be outfitted for overlanding, I’d recommend a Tacoma. They’re not the most lavish, but they are well-built, reliable, and with the TRD package, they’re excellent off-road. Crucially, they’re also significantly more fuel efficient than the Tundra. However, if you were to ask me which I’d…
Overland Classifieds :: 2004 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab TRD 4×4
If you’re looking to purchase a used vehicle but want real-world data on prospective ownership, one of the best ways to get unfiltered feedback is to search internet forums. I’ve found that even the most devoted owners are quick to point out their model’s shortcomings, and it’s very unusual that a vehicle escapes criticism. However,…
Overland Classifieds :: 1992 Land Rover Defender 110
The Land Rover Defender is arguably the most iconic overland vehicle ever made (trust me, I’m British and thus completely impartial), and over the years, it has been the hero of many world-first expeditions. The Camel Trophy was undoubtedly fundamental to the Defender’s rise to fame. Ever since, it has continued to be one of…

Moreover, our resident senior editor Matt Swartz is building the ultimate Ram 2500 and is documenting the entire process; check out his recent build video on…

This quaint Norwegian village has been awarded the best travel destination in Scandinavia by Lonely Planet and attracts over 500,000 tourists every year.

Overland Classifieds :: 2002 Toyota Tacoma Extra Cab 4×4 TRD Off-Road
The Tacoma is a hugely popular choice for overland builds, with recent offerings including this 2016 TRD Off-Road w/Four Wheel Camper and a 2018 Tacoma w/ AT Overland Atlas. Strong engines and drivetrains, excellent all-terrain performance, class-leading Toyota build quality, and a huge array of aftermarket parts and services are just some of the reasons…
Video of the Week :: 1968 Volvo Valp in Lapland
We recently featured Rick Schamper’s truly extraordinary 1968 Volvo Valp, and today we’re taking a look at his two-part film Overlanding Trip to Lapland. Rick is an offshore engineer and mechanic based in Norway, but when he’s not working, he’s traveling in his expedition-ready Laplander. Over the years, he’s taken this rig to Iceland, Spain,…
Overland Classifieds :: 2010 Lexus LX 570
Lexus may not be the first company that comes to mind when we think of overlanding, but over the past few months, we’ve featured some amazing builds, such as this 2009 LX 570 and an incredible 2018 GX 460. The company carries forward Toyota’s reliability, go-anywhere capability, and build quality while introducing a new level…
