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.

Subsequently,…

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 :: 2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon
I’ve been somewhat obsessed with the Jeep Wrangler ever since I discovered the adventures of Dan Grec.

Overland Classifieds :: 2005 Toyota 4Runner Limited
If you’re in the market for a budget-friendly 4WD that’s comfortable and practical for daily life but also excels when the tarmac ends, the 4Runner is a great option.

Full-size trucks are all the rage, with many overlanders gravitating towards the plethora of benefits afforded by these bigger vehicles.

Key advantages include generous payload and towing capacity,…

During the pandemic, the price of used vehicles skyrocketed, with many rigs selling for considerably more than market value. It was a sad state of affairs as vehicle travel and adventures close to home boomed, but more people than ever were priced out of affording a suitable vehicle. Fortunately, I have some positive news: the…
