1990 Leyland DAF T244 Expedition Truck :: Featured Classified
There are important distinctions to be made between an overland vehicle and an expedition truck. The former, as the name suggests, is a “vehicle” that can provide live-in comfort but is generally limited by size and payload.

The Citrëon 2CV is an automotive icon and a working-class hero.
