I’ve been on a mission to feature budget overland rigs with recent examples including this $8,000 1994 Ram 2500 with an Alaskan camper, a $6,000 1997 Isuzu Trooper, and a $3,500 2001 Mercedes ML430. However, today’s 1995 Land Rover Discovery I is the best-value rig to date at just $2,900. This bargain 4WD may not…
Overland Classifieds :: 2019 Ram 1500 w/ 2020 Outfitter Caribou Lite Camper
The 1500 is one of Ram’s best-selling trucks, and for good reason. Highlights include a 2,302-pound max payload, 7,520-pound towing capacity, well-equipped interior, impressive capability, three available motors, and excellent aftermarket support. Subsequently, it’s popular on our forum with recent adventure-ready builds, including this 2022 TRX with an Ovrlnd camper, a 2019 Rebel, and a…
Overland Classifieds :: 1999 Toyota Tacoma TRD w/ 1978 Chinook Camper
Times are tough right now, with many economies around the world reeling. Consequently, the idea of buying an overland vehicle seems somewhat far-fetched or even irresponsible for those of us on a strict budget. However, this could also be the perfect time to ditch the rent and bills and instead invest in a rolling home….
Overland Classifieds :: 2018 Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro w/ Custom Camper
The Tacoma is the mid-size truck by which all others are measured and the TRD Pro model is the company’s most desirable model. The Pro package uprates the standard truck with Fox internal bypass shocks, locking rear differential, Desert Air intake, skid plates, 1.5-inch lift, and more. Subsequently, this vehicle from the factory has everything…
Overland Classifieds :: 2014 Toyota 4Runner SR5 Overland Build
The 4Runner, much like the Land Cruiser, is a vehicle that can simply do it all. It’s a go-anywhere rig that’s just as comfortable and refined on the school run or commute as it is navigating backcountry trails. I often make the point that owning one vehicle that’s both a daily driver and a competent…
Overland Classifieds :: 2009 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road w/ Vagabond Outdoors Drifter – SOLD
The Tacoma is, without a shadow of a doubt, the most popular overland platform on our forum, and for good reason. They offer well-equipped interiors and class-leading build quality, reliability, and capability, but in short, they just work. This is a vehicle that you can trust to get you out there and get you home,…
Overland Classifieds :: 2003 Toyota 4Runner SR5 – SOLD
During the pandemic, the cost of used 4WDs skyrocketed as people replaced international trips for adventures closer to home. In 2022 the market began to level out and we began to see some good value rigs (a trend that has continued into 2023). I’ve featured a number of great deals recently including this $8,500 2000…
Overland Classifieds :: 2020 Ram 1500 Rebel w/ 2022 Go Fast Camper
The Rebel has been causing quite a stir since its release, with Expedition Portal’s Emme Hall suggesting it could be better than a Power Wagon for certain applications. A powerful and relatively economical line-up of engines, exhilarating on-road performance, impressive capability, well-equipped interiors, and a 1,710-pound max payload are just some of the benefits. Subsequently,…
Overland Classifieds :: 2017 Nissan Frontier Pro-4X
Let’s face it, if a vehicle has a Toyota, Isuzu, Mazda, Honda, Subaru, or, indeed, a Nissan badge, there’s a good chance it’s just going to work. Japanese car manufacturing has become a byword for class-leading build quality and reliability. That’s not to say the vehicles produced by these companies are void of issues, but…
Overland Classified :: 2006 Ford Ranger 4×4 w/ Go Fast Camper
The Ford Ranger, like its rival, the Toyota Tacoma, is one of the mid-size trucks to beat. In fact, it’s the best-selling truck in the UK (and Australia), and Auto Express awarded the Ranger Pick-Up of the Year in 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022. Highlights include bulletproof motors (with the latest EcoBoost lineup providing both…
Overland Classifieds :: 2017 Chevrolet Express Quigley 4×4
The Chevy Express, much like Ford’s E-350, provides a perfect balance between driveability and interior comfort. In addition, it offers long-lived engines and drivetrains, well-equipped interiors, and access to a wide array of aftermarket parts, accessories, and services. Crucially the Express can be transformed into a truly go-anywhere vehicle thanks to on-demand 4WD conversions from…
Overland Classifieds :: 2021 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road w/ RSI Smartcap EVO
It seemed fitting to feature a Tacoma as I embark on another 8-month international trip in my decrepit 1986 Volkswagen T3 Syncro. I’ve often made the point that the best overland vehicles are those that you can count on to provide the maximum experience. In other words, a rig like mine is charismatic but costs…
Overland Classifieds :: 2019 Toyota Tundra TRD Off-Road with A/T Overland Atlas
If gas prices weren’t $2.29 per liter here in Europe then the 5.7-liter V8 Tundra would be my full-size truck of choice. At the end of the day, it’s a Toyota, which means it’ll just work, and while it might not be the most frugal, well-equipped, or powerful option it makes up for this with…
Overland Classifieds :: 2010 Lexus LX570
The Lexus LX570 provides fabled reliability and build quality, class-leading capability, and sumptuous interior luxury. This is a truly do-it-all 4WD that excels in all scenarios, whether you require a practical family wagon, refined daily commuter, or indeed a round-the-world overland platform. At the end of the day, having a second vehicle just for travel…

Additional modifications include a suspension lift, NATO steel wheels,…
Overland Classifieds :: 2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon
I’ve been somewhat obsessed with the Jeep Wrangler ever since I discovered the adventures of Dan Grec. If you’re not familiar with his travels, I highly recommend checking out his website and picking up a copy of his book The Road Chose Me II, which documents the three years he spent driving 54,000 miles around…
Overland Classifieds :: 2001 Mercedes ML430
I’ve been on a mission to feature bargain rigs listed on our forum.

Overland Classifieds :: 2011 Ford E-350 Quigley 4×4

We’ve recently featured several trail-ready rigs, including this 2000 Sportsmobile, a 2003 Quadvan, and a 2006 with a Stahl service body. These vans offer long-lived motors and drivetrains, a generous payload and towing capacity, access to…
Overland Classifieds :: 2009 Ford F-350 Provan Tiger CX Camper
Vehicles designed and built from the ground up by a professional overlanding company are rare and oftentimes exorbitantly expensive. A few recent examples include this $299,000 2010 EarthRoamer, a $584,000 Global Expedition Vehicles Patagonia, and a $350,000 2012 Adrenalin Industries Truck. In fact, it’s unusual to come across any professionally built live-in overland rig for…
