2007 Mercedes G55 AMG :: Featured Classified
There’s no shortage of 4WDs suitable for backcountry travel, but far fewer are considered pinnacle overland platforms (e.g., Toyota Land Cruiser and Land Rover Defender).

2022 Toyota 4Runner TRD Off Road Premium :: Featured Classified
I’ve long admired the 5th-generation Toyota 4Runner, which has aged like fine wine and is unquestionably a pinnacle platform for overland travel. It’s unapologetically honest, emphasizing build quality, rugged dependability, and practicality above all else, and does not preoccupy itself with being the most powerful or luxurious in the segment. Under the surface, this unassuming…

2013 Toyota Land Cruiser :: Classifieds
This year, I’ve focused on experiences above all else, and I can honestly say I’m happier for it.

However, what the…

It also offers generous interior space for a full camper conversion while…
Overland Explorer Vehicles – 2024 Hudson Bay :: Featured Classified
At the beginning of this year, I abandoned my rolling home (a Vanagon Syncro) as engine failure struck for the third time. It was especially painful on this occasion as I’d just spent five months restoring the bodywork and overhauling the interior. It’s times like these that I wish I’d instead invested in a transferable…

I recently completed a 2,000 mile trip from the UK to the North of Norway in my 1992 Mitsubishi L300 Delica and it didn’t miss a beat. This vehicle was a recent acquisition but has quickly proven to be a dependable workhorse (despite being unloved for many years prior) and is now my rolling home…
