GXV Mercedes Unimog U500 :: Featured Classified
Working for Overland International, I see rigs ranging from a few thousand dollars to over a million, but in terms of expedition trucks, today’s GXV Mercedes Unimog U500 might be my favorite.

2017 Chevrolet Express 3500 :: Featured Classified – SOLD
I’ve lived on the road for almost 15 years, and most of this time was spent living in vans. Sure, there are more powerful, luxurious, and capable options available, but for travel and living on the road, they’re hard to beat. General Motors (GM) vans, such as the Chevy Express, are a great option, since…

2018 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon JKU w/ “Dan Grec Edition” Ursa Minor Pop Top :: Featured Classified
A few years back, I spent a year living and traveling in a 1992 Mitsubishi Delica L300 with little more than a bed platform and a battery system, which was a stark adjustment to my fully equipped Vanagon Syncro. I assumed the basic setup would be a frustration, but I quickly realized that a lighter,…

2024 INEOS Grenadier Trialmaster w/ Alu-Cab Silenus Roof Conversion :: Featured Classified
There’s no shortage of 4WDs on the market offered with optional backcountry-focused packages. However, in many cases, these rugged variants leave a lot to be desired, since the majority of these platforms were never primarily intended for adventure but rather pandered to the requirements of urbanite families. Conversely, the INEOS Grenadier was engineered from the…
