It’s no secret that I’m a fan of the Colorado; it’s not just one of the best-looking trucks in the segment but also one of the most capable. It’s a favorite with the Expedition Portal team and was awarded Mid-size Truck of the Year by Scott Brady, who stated, “Just a list of its features…
2016 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off Road XOverland X3 Meridian :: Featured Classified
The Toyota Tacoma remains the best-selling mid-size truck in North America and is undoubtedly the most popular truck on our forum. It’s not unusual to see listings for heavily modified examples built by enthusiasts, but far less common to find offerings from professional outfitters. This is not to discredit the former, but there is a…
2005 Porsche Cayenne V8 Twin-Turbo :: Classifieds
The Porsche Cayenne has always had something of a cult following within the overlanding community but in more recent years the popularity of these budget-friendly rigs has increased significantly. It’s no secret that most luxury 4WDs depreciate rapidly so picking up a vehicle that originally cost $90,000 for under $20,000 is nothing new. There are…
1999 Stewart & Stevenson M1079 LMTV Expedition Truck :: Classifieds
In the past, I didn’t understand the appeal of expedition trucks, which seemed overkill for most applications. However, after a decade of living on the road and meeting others travelling in these monster rigs, I’ve come to appreciate their benefits. First and foremost, it’s all about shifting your perspective and recognizing these are not simply…
2019 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road Double Cab w/ Alu-Cab Canopy Camper :: Featured Classified
The Toyota Tacoma is by far the most popular mid-size truck on our forum, so it’s not uncommon to see heavily modified examples advertised with exorbitant price tags. However, what you don’t see every day is an overland-ready Tacoma built professionally and advertised for a fraction of the cost. Cue today’s low-mileage (47,000 miles) 2019…
Black Bear Pass in a Mitsubishi Delica L300 :: Video
Well, it’s official I bought another Mitsubishi Delica L300 and have subsequently been on a YouTube binge checking out where these vehicles take their owners and gleaming inspiration for my upcoming build.

2018 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 :: Classifieds
I recently listened to an episode of the Budget Overland podcast, and during their “voicemail” segment, a listener discussed their modified rig’s abysmal gas mileage and how it limited their travels in the hope it would educate others. As a European, I’ve grown up with fuel prices that would shock most Americans, and right now,…
2007 Lexus GX 470 :: Featured Classified
Generally speaking, overland vehicles are not synonymous with luxury. Instead, overlanders seek out platforms with a reputation for rugged dependability and capability that are serviceable in the field (the iconic 70 Series being a coveted choice). However, there are a select few vehicles that provide all of the above while also offering interior luxury and…
2023 Ford F-150 FX4 Off Road w/AT Overland Equipment Summit :: Featured Classified

2015 Chevrolet Tahoe PPV “The White Rhino” :: Featured Classified
This is the first Tahoe we’ve featured in our classifieds section, and it has to be one of the most impressive overland builds we’ve ever showcased.

2022 Ram 2500 Power Wagon :: Classifieds
Occasionally, a rig is posted to our forum that has my jaw agape, palms sweaty, and in today’s instance, I may have even let out an audible “ooooooo.” Sure, overland rigs should first and foremost be practical, but there’s something to be said for a build that you never get tired of staring at. I’d…
1987 Vanagon Syncro :: Classifieds
I recently returned from a 7,000 mile road trip that saw me travel from the UK to Slovenia and then across Europe to the north of Norway in my 1986 Vanagon Syncro. Despite living full-time in this iconic vehicle for a decade, I never tire of its charm. And while it has its faults, I…

On October 27th, 2023, history was made at the Rebelle Rally as Rivian engineers Lilly Macaruso and Alex Anderson, part of team #187 Limestone Legends, crossed the finish line in a Rivian R1T.

2004 Ford E-350 Timberline 4×4 Conversion :: Classifieds
Ford’s E-Series is a commercial icon with more than 8 million being sold since 1961, which makes it the third-best-selling van range in history (only outsold by the Ford Transit and Volkswagen Transporter).

2014 Toyota Tundra TRD :: Classifieds
I recently listened to Clay Croft’s interview with international explorer and pro photographer Chris Burkard on the XOverland Podcast. During their conversation, Chris discloses that his vehicle of choice for family adventures, commercial work, and overlanding is a Toyota Tundra. He states: “The thing’s a beast. They’re hogs on gas, but there’s nothing I’ve found…

This week we join 4×4 writer, commentator, and adventure-travel filmmaker Andrew St. Pierre White, a.k.a 4xoverland, on a solo expedition in Australia.

2024 Honda XL750 Transalp
Honda’s XL750 Transalp has made it to America. The new-for-2024 model packs plenty of performance into a bike that lists for a buck less than $10,000.

The Story Till Now – Hardest Overland Trail to Alaska
Despite living in a digital age, word of mouth remains influential and is perhaps more relevant today than ever before courtesy of the podcasting boom.
