Expedition Portal Classifieds: GXV Safari Extreme

Colossal, enormous, gargantuan, titanic, gigantic, these are just a few words that could be used to describe this truck. Of course, you could also call it luxurious, comfortable, capable, and overland ready. That’s because it’s a 2012 Global Expedition Vehicle, designed and manufactured for exploring the far reaches of the globe in complete serenity. It will allow you to take a hot shower while parked on the coast of the Arctic Ocean, drink cool margaritas in the air-conditioned cab in the middle of the Sahara, or simply cruise into the remote regions of the U.S. on enormous tires with 140 gallons of fuel in the tank. I don’t know about you, but I’d be up for any of that. So lets take a closer look at this private yacht on wheels.

Reason for Selling

Well, here goes…after much thought, we have decided to part with our rig. (I can’t even believe I’m saying that!) I’m sure the first question will be “Why?” Well, it turns out when you own your own business, as I do, there can be times when you have to be more personally involved. We have been in that season for a while now and recently haven’t been able to utilize our rig like we had hoped. It is time for someone else to “continue the journey.”

I have postponed posting this as I have been traveling lately in areas where there is no connectivity. I will be available to reply to inquiries, etc. up until Friday morning June 29, 2018. Then I will be out of connectivity until Sunday afternoon, July 8, 2018. – Current owner

Born and raised in Dallas, Texas, Chris didn’t receive a real taste of the outdoors until moving to Prescott, Arizona, in 2009. While working on his business degree, he learned to fly and spent his weekends exploring the Arizona desert and high country. It was there that he fell in love with backcountry travel and four-wheel drive vehicles, eventually leading him to Overland Journal and Expedition Portal. After several years of honing his skills in writing, photography, and off-road driving, Chris now works for the company full time as Expedition Portal's Senior Editor while living full-time on the road.
