Today’s 2022 Ram 3500 (51,000 miles) expedition truck has to be one of the coolest rigs we’ve showcased. It features extensive premium modifications, a Bowen custom bed, and is topped with a fully outfitted Scout Kenai camper. This is a true live-in vehicle and has been thoroughly tested over the past year by the previous…
2014 Subaru Forester :: Classifieds
We’ve featured several affordable rigs recently, and today’s well-maintained (148,000) 2014 Subaru Forester is no exception. Despite showcasing premium aftermarket upgrades and a well-equipped interior, this rugged AWD is priced at just $8,500. Sure, the Forester does have its limitations when leaving the tarmac but it will comfortably handle most maintained backcountry roads and can…
2008 Lexus LX570 :: Classified
It’s remarkable that pre-owned Lexus 4WDs remain such a value in comparison to their Toyota counterparts. Today’s 2008 Lexus LX570 (192,550 miles) is no exception. It is underpinned by the LC200, yet is almost half the price of many same-year Land Cruisers (reference this $40,000, 201,000-mile, 2008 Land Cruiser 200 Series). The LX570 carries forward…
2014 Toyota 4Runner Trail :: Featured Classified – SOLD
In a recent article Expedition Portal and Overland Journal Publisher and Chairman Scott Brady celebrated 40 Years of the Toyota 4Runner. He states: “The 4Runner is both honest and capable at the same time, yet somehow achieves a youthful and exciting image with buyers. I believe that most of this comes from the genuine capability…
1998 Stewart and Stevenson Expedition Truck :: Featured Classified
I’m currently driving 2,000 miles through Europe during the first heatwave of the year. Temperatures are already close to 90 Fahrenheit, which means life inside my dinky 1992 Mitsubishi Delica L300 with non-functioning air-con is character-building, to say the least. As I slow cook on Northern Europe’s vast highways, I’ve had plenty of time to…
2008 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited w/ Ursa Minor Camper :: Classifieds
The Jeep Wrangler is considered overlanding royalty and one of the most popular 4WDs on our forum, with recent examples including this 2017 Rubicon, 2021 Unlimited Willys, and 2018 Recon with an Ursa Minor camper. In a world where “4WD” has become code for “luxury mall crawler,” the Wrangler remains something of an outlier harking…
2020 OEV Camp-X :: Featured Classified
As I write this, I’m dealing with my third engine failure in three years. As a full-timer, I depend on my rolling home, so it has been a major setback. I’ve had to build an entirely new vehicle at considerable expense and stress just to get me through the coming months. This scenario is just…
1998 Toyota Hiace 4WD :: Classifieds
I’m fortunate to see new overlanding builds every single day ranging from budget 4WDs to million-pound expedition trucks. However, occasionally a vehicle is listed that I want for myself and today’s Toyota is one of them. The Hiace is perhaps not the first option that comes to mind when we think about overlanding but it…
2017 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off Road w/ Alu-Cab Canopy Camper :: Featured Classified
First introduced to the US market in 1995 as a replacement for the Hilux, the Tacoma faced the seemingly impossible task of living up to its predecessor. Yet, against all odds, it not only lived up to the Hilux’s legendary reputation but in many ways surpassed it. The Tacoma carried forward its forebear’s bulletproof build…
2000 Ford F-250 w/ 2022 Scout Kenai Camper :: Featured Classified
I have a lot of respect for off-the-shelf overland rigs and campers and they certainly have their benefits. However, it’s the self-builds, one-of-ones, that really get me excited. These vehicles are as unique as their owners and are oftentimes the culmination of years of blood, sweat, tears, and an obscene amount of money. Cue today’s…
1994 Mitsubishi Montero :: Classifieds
Despite fabled Japanese capability and reliability, and impressive backcountry credentials, the Montero remains an impressive value in an otherwise over-inflated marketplace. Today’s 1994 Mitsubishi Montero (135,000 miles) may incorporate many of the same desirable attributes as its Land Cruiser contemporary but is advertised at a fraction of the price. This hasn’t gone unnoticed with an…
2006 Ford E-350 4×4 High Top Camper :: Classifieds
The E-350 4×4 is a favorite on our forum with recent examples including this 2002, 2010, and 2006 with a Stahl Service body and pop top. There are many reasons why I love this platform for travel but above all else, it provides generous interior living space within a modest external footprint. Cue today’s 2006…
2020 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon w/ Go Fast Camper :: Classified
The Jeep Gladiator is one of the few midsize trucks that was engineered from the ground up for backcountry applications. In addition, it showcases a best-in-class payload and towing capacity, front and rear lockers, and is the aftermarket darling. Since its inception, it has been a huge hit with overlanders in North America, but in…
2005 Lexus LX470 :: Classifieds
The LX470 seamlessly blends interior luxury with legendary Toyota build quality and durability. This platform carries forward the favorable backcountry attributes of the 100-Series Land Cruiser while introducing Lexus’ fabled refinement. It’s a winning formula that removes a great deal of driver fatigue from the challenging conditions faced by overlanders and allows travelers to focus…
Ford F-350 4WD XL w/ Total Composites Camper :: Classifieds
The F-350 is a popular full-size truck on our forum and is the platform of choice for many expedition builds, such as this stunning 2021 Nimbl Evolution. Key highlights include a dependable Power Stroke diesel motor, generous payload and towing capacity, a well-equipped interior, and excellent aftermarket support. Today’s 2022 Ford F-350 4WD XL has…
2019 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off Road w/ AT Overland Summit Camper :: Featured Classified
Despite fierce competition in the segment, the Tacoma remains the midsize truck by which all others are measured. Expedition Portal and Overland Journal Publisher Scott Brady states: “The Tacoma has been the benchmark of compact overland trucks since its introduction, and the model represents 62 percent of all trucks reported in our reader surveys ……
2017 Subaru Outback :: Classifieds
It’s easy to become fixated on heavily modified 4WDs and convince yourself that to overland, you need a lifted rig rolling on 35s with front and rear lockers. However, the reality is that most of us will be traversing vast stretches of paved roads and well-documented and accessible backcountry routes. Hence, these “rocklanders” are often…
1991 Iveco Daily 4×4 :: Classifieds
The Iveco Daily is hands down one of my favorite overland vehicles, and for good reason. It finds a sweet spot between a 4WD van and a much larger expedition platform. Subsequently, it provides generous interior living space (akin to a Sprinter AWD or Total Composites box) while still being relatively affordable to run and…
2021 EarthCruiser FX :: Featured Classified
EarthCruiser creates no-expense-spared expedition trucks and over almost two decades has forged a reputation for excellence. Founded in Australia in 2009 and based out of Bend, Oregon, since 2013, the company explains that its ability to produce “world-class” vehicles is the result of “hard-earned extreme field experience traversing some of the world’s most intimidating terrain.”…
1998 Land Rover Defender 90 :: Featured Classified
The Land Rover Defender is an overlanding icon and seamlessly blends exemplary backcountry credentials with charismatic styling. Growing up in rural England, I saw Defenders being used daily by the military, emergency services, forestry commission, power companies, farmers, dockyards, and more. Needless to say, It’s first and foremost a built-for-purpose 4WD and that makes it…
