The Vanagon has become a symbol of freedom, wanderlust, and the great open road. It is therefore no surprise that this classic has swiftly become a desirable social media icon.

Overland Classifieds :: 2000 Land Rover Discovery
The Discovery was designed to carry forward Land Rover’s legendary utilitarian credentials while introducing a new level of driver refinement. In many ways, this model set the tone for all future Land Rovers, which are now almost indistinguishable from their Range Rover counterparts. Consequently, these older Discoveries offer a sweet spot between the rugged workhorse…
Overland Classifieds :: 2014 Toyota 4Runner Trail
If you’re looking for a rig that can do it all, the 4Runner is a fantastic option.

Overland Classifieds :: 1990 Unimog 1300L
Sometimes, to possess the unicorn your heart is longing for, you must turn to the vehicle importation process. Purchasing a vehicle sight unseen and passing your judgment solely based on photographs can require a leap of faith. But, the reward can also be great. Imported vehicles have the potential to be in better condition with…
Overland Classifieds :: 2021 Toyota Tundra SR5 Double Cab with AT Overland Atlas Topper
If you’re looking for a daily driver that can also be outfitted for overlanding, I’d recommend a Tacoma.

However, if you were to ask me which I’d…

Overland Classifieds :: 1992 Land Rover Defender 110
The Land Rover Defender is arguably the most iconic overland vehicle ever made (trust me, I’m British and thus completely impartial), and over the years, it has been the hero of many world-first expeditions.
