The Transit AWD is hot on the heels of the Mercedes Sprinter 4×4 and it’s clear with the release of the Trail Edition that Ford have adventurous travellers firmly in their sights. The standard AWD model is surprisingly capable on rough trails as demonstrated on the Expedition Portal YouTube. However, this system has its limitations…

Overland Classifieds :: 1997 Toyota Land Cruiser FZJ80
Matt Scott, Overland Journal podcast host and a leading expert in automotive adventure, wrote an article titled: Why The Land Cruiser 80 Series Is The Next Classic 4WD. In short, he explains that “the 80 Series has plenty of character compared to a modern car, but it doesn’t have vintage car inconveniences.” In other words,…

Overland Classifieds :: 2020 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off Road
I was recently listening to an interview with Publisher Scott Brady of the Overland Journal, during which he discussed the Toyota Tacoma TRD Off Road: “If built light, the Tacoma offers the perfect balance of capability, reliability, and durability for overlanding.” This perspective is not unique, which is why this mid-size Toyota is the most…
Overland Classifieds :: 2016 Ram 2500 Power Wagon AEV Prospector
The Ram Power Wagon and the AEV (American Expedition Vehicles) Prospector are two very popular full-size vehicles on our forum and extremely capable in their own right. However, today’s rig is a unique 2016 Ram Power Wagon that has been upfitted with the AEV Prospector package. This means you get the Power Wagon’s standard backcountry…
Overland Classifieds :: 2014 Mercedes G550
The G-wagon, or Geländewagon, is considered by many as overlanding royalty. Originally developed in Austria by Steyr-Daimler-Puch, it was then sold by Mercedes as a military off-roader. It was function over form and, in every respect, designed to be the ultimate go-anywhere, utilitarian vehicle. However, over the years, the G-Wagon has been increasingly adapted for…
Overland Classifieds :: 2013 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport w/ Super Pacific Camper
It’s interesting that despite fierce competition, the Toyota Tacoma remains top of the mid-size category. We recently showcased the new GMC Canyon AT4x, which is overland-ready from the factory, and the first comment was, “I’ll stick with the Tacoma.” I’d argue that the Tacoma’s unwavering popularity demonstrates that the overlanding community value build quality and…

Overland Classifieds :: 2010 Nissan Armada Platinum
There is a relatively small selection of vehicles that dominate our forum, so it’s always refreshing when something a little unusual is listed. This is the first Nissan Armada I’ve featured, and what a beauty. This rugged 4WD provides up to a 1,742-pound payload and a 9,100-pound max towing capacity and is powered by a…
Overland Classifieds :: 1995 Land Rover Discovery I
I’ve always loved the Defender, but more recently, I’ve developed a deep affinity for the Discovery, especially the I and II variants. These vehicles provide much of the same charm, practicality, and all-terrain capability as the Defender but were altogether more refined. This oftentimes overlooked model is also a favorite with the Expedition Portal team…

Today’s 2007 offering has covered 165,000 miles and…
Overland Classifieds :: 1991 Mitsubishi Montero
The cost of Land Cruisers has skyrocketed in recent years, with the point of entry becoming increasingly out of reach for many of us. However, fear not because there are 4WDs on the market offering many of the same benefits as the Land Cruiser but at a fraction of the price. One such example is…
Overland Classifieds :: 2005 Toyota Sequoia SR5
The Toyota Sequoia is often overlooked for overlanding, with the vast majority opting for either a 4Runner or Land Cruiser. However, while these alternatives do have their advantages, they’re significantly more expensive. Hence, the Sequoia represents excellent value despite featuring many of the same desirable features. If you’d like a better idea of this vehicle’s…
Overland Classifieds :: 1993 Toyota Land Cruiser HZJ75 Dual Cab
The Land Cruiser is considered by many as the overland platform by which all others are measured, and the 70 Series is arguably one of the very best.
