It's here, and you can see it first. 🔥 The 2027 @toyotausa Tundra Trailhunter is debuting at Overland Expo Mountain West this weekend in Loveland, Colorado Aug. 21-23, and it's one of the first chances for our community to get up close with Toyota's newest overland-ready truck. Here's what makes it trail-ready straight from the factory: - Old Man Emu suspension for added lift and articulation - Michelin LTX Trail 265/70R18 tires on bronze wheels - Factory recovery hooks and skid plates - Multi-Terrain Select, Crawl Control and a locking rear differential - Optional 2.4kW inverter to power your backcountry setup This one was built for the kind of travel, terrain and adventure we all live for. Don't just read about it, come walk around it in person this weekend. Read more on The Compass, linked in our bio! Buy tickets online and save. 🎟️ #OverlandExpo #MountainWest #ToyotaTundra #Overlanding #OffRoad

Join them every week as they explore backroads and byways looking for adventure and unique experiences around the globe. In 2026 they visit Iceland to drive 4x4’s, the Virgin Islands and Hawaii to drive UTV’s, then they rode adventure bikes to the Arctic Circle and much more before they capped off the season with a trip to Bali to drive UTV’s in this jungle paradise. They also tested and evaluated dozens of products throughout the year from off-road trailers to the latest in overland gear and accessories. Off-Road Travel TV airs every Sunday at 9:30am on the Racer network with re-airs throughout the week.

Meet Bryon Dorr, our new Senior Content and Brand Strategist! Bryon brings more than 20 years across overlanding, outdoor recreation, automotive, media and events. Most recently, he served as Motors Editor at GearJunkie, so he knows this world and the community who make it what it is. In his new role, he'll help shape what's next for Overland Expo: our events, our content, our partnerships and the community initiatives that keep us connected on and off the trail. Because overlanding was never just about the rigs. It's about exploration. Self-reliance. New places. New people. And the stories we carry home. We're glad to have Bryon helping us tell those stories and build what comes next. Welcome to the team, Bryon! @explorelements 🤝
