The Nissan Frontier is not commonplace on the forum, but when listed, they sell quickly. The Pro4x variant was featured in our Midsize Truck of the Year, with Scott Brady commenting: “Nissan is one of those brands that is so honest and reliable that you rarely hear a cross word said about their vehicles. They…
2021 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 w/ Alu-Cab Canopy Camper :: Classifieds
It’s no secret that I’m a fan of the Colorado; it’s not just one of the best-looking trucks in the segment but also one of the most capable. It’s a favorite with the Expedition Portal team and was awarded Mid-size Truck of the Year by Scott Brady, who stated, “Just a list of its features…
2017 Mercedes Sprinter 4×4 170 :: Featured Classified
I love owning classic overland vehicles, but they are a big commitment, both financially and emotionally. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t often consider selling up and investing in a modern Sprinter 4×4. In the same way the Land Cruiser continues to be the 4WD by which all others are measured, the Sprinter…
2016 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off Road XOverland X3 Meridian :: Featured Classified
The Toyota Tacoma remains the best-selling mid-size truck in North America and is undoubtedly the most popular truck on our forum. It’s not unusual to see listings for heavily modified examples built by enthusiasts, but far less common to find offerings from professional outfitters. This is not to discredit the former, but there is a…
2005 Porsche Cayenne V8 Twin-Turbo :: Classifieds
The Porsche Cayenne has always had something of a cult following within the overlanding community but in more recent years the popularity of these budget-friendly rigs has increased significantly. It’s no secret that most luxury 4WDs depreciate rapidly so picking up a vehicle that originally cost $90,000 for under $20,000 is nothing new. There are…
2000 Ford F-250 w/ Four Wheel Camper Hawk :: Classifieds
Full-size trucks are all the rage as overlanders embrace the additional running costs for a wide array of benefits. During our Full-Size Truck of the Year considerations, Scott Brady commented: “When we first started Overland Journal, the compact pickup was by far the most popular choice for overlanding, but that gap is quickly narrowing with…
1999 Stewart & Stevenson M1079 LMTV Expedition Truck :: Classifieds
In the past, I didn’t understand the appeal of expedition trucks, which seemed overkill for most applications. However, after a decade of living on the road and meeting others travelling in these monster rigs, I’ve come to appreciate their benefits. First and foremost, it’s all about shifting your perspective and recognizing these are not simply…
1998 Land Rover Discovery I :: Classifieds
The Land Rover Discovery I may not have the same following as the Defender but it shares many of the benefits and even some advantages. First and foremost, this oftentimes overlooked platform is a budget friendly option with today’s example listed at $14,500 OBO, which is a fraction of the cost of this comparable $43,000…
2020 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon :: Classifieds
The Jeep Gladiator is a favourite amongst the overlanding community and for good reason. It was featured in Expedition Portal’s Mid-Size Truck of the Year with Scott Brady commenting: “In my experience, the Gladiator is all I love about the Wrangler, plus nearly all I love about a Power Wagon.” High praise indeed. In many…
2002 Ford E-350 4×4 :: Classifieds
House prices and rent are increasing at an unfathomable rate and it can be disheartening. Fortunately, there are still workarounds to get ahead and a live-in vehicle is one of them. As a full-timer for a decade, I found that living in a van spared me from excessive rent and allowed me to save more…
2019 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road Double Cab w/ Alu-Cab Canopy Camper :: Featured Classified
The Toyota Tacoma is by far the most popular mid-size truck on our forum, so it’s not uncommon to see heavily modified examples advertised with exorbitant price tags. However, what you don’t see every day is an overland-ready Tacoma built professionally and advertised for a fraction of the cost. Cue today’s low-mileage (47,000 miles) 2019…
1999 Toyota 4Runner SR5 4×4 :: Classifieds
Over the past few years, the cost of used 4WDs, especially Toyotas, and even more so Tacomas and 4Runners, has skyrocketed. In the past these models were affordable workhorses but with the advent of the overlanding boom these rigs became increasingly coveted for their dependable backcountry credentials. The inflated costs are rough but there’s simply…
2021 Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro w/ Super Pacific X1 :: Featured Classified
Overlanding is about experience above all else, but with so many amazing rigs and desirable accessories on offer, it can be easy to lose sight of the big picture. GAS, or gear acquisition syndrome, is something many people, including myself, suffer from. You can end up making impulsive purchases that ultimately detract from getting out…
2018 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 :: Classifieds
I recently listened to an episode of the Budget Overland podcast, and during their “voicemail” segment, a listener discussed their modified rig’s abysmal gas mileage and how it limited their travels in the hope it would educate others. As a European, I’ve grown up with fuel prices that would shock most Americans, and right now,…
2007 Lexus GX 470 :: Featured Classified
Generally speaking, overland vehicles are not synonymous with luxury. Instead, overlanders seek out platforms with a reputation for rugged dependability and capability that are serviceable in the field (the iconic 70 Series being a coveted choice). However, there are a select few vehicles that provide all of the above while also offering interior luxury and…
2023 GMC Sierra 3500 4×4 :: Classifieds
GMC clearly has its sights on overlanding and has released a series of uprated models designed for adventure travel.

In fact, we chose the Sierra 1500 AT4 as an Overland Journal…
2003 Nissan Xterra :: Classifieds
The cost of overlanding vehicles has gotten a bit silly in recent years with prices becoming prohibitively expensive. It’s important to remember that this pursuit had humble beginnings and prioritized experiences with loved ones in the great outdoors above all else. Throw a sleeping bag, food, water, and good tunes into whatever vehicle you have,…
2023 Ford F-150 FX4 Off Road w/AT Overland Equipment Summit :: Featured Classified
Ford’s F-Series trucks remain the best-selling full-size lineup in the US by a considerable margin despite fierce competition in the segment.

2015 Chevrolet Tahoe PPV “The White Rhino” :: Featured Classified
This is the first Tahoe we’ve featured in our classifieds section, and it has to be one of the most impressive overland builds we’ve ever showcased. There’s a fundamental difference between a rig with big tires and a lift and a vehicle where every nut and bolt from the ground up has been carefully selected…
2022 Ram 2500 Power Wagon :: Classifieds
Occasionally, a rig is posted to our forum that has my jaw agape, palms sweaty, and in today’s instance, I may have even let out an audible “ooooooo.” Sure, overland rigs should first and foremost be practical, but there’s something to be said for a build that you never get tired of staring at. I’d…
