The Recap & ExcitementOverland Expo Mountain West 2026

Day 1: Momentum From the First Gate

The weekend opened strong and never let up.

• The 2026 Ultimate Overland Vehicle Build made its public debut at Overland Expo West. A highly capable 2026 Nissan Frontier paired with a Tune Outdoor M1L camper and loaded with premium partner products. The build came together with AllDogs Offroad Coop.
• Winnebago pulled a crowd with the launch of the ARKA Adventure Truck and their Ride and Drive. Built on a Ram 5500 expedition platform, it's made for going far off the grid and staying there. Attendees had the opportunity to drive the ARKA, EKKO, and Revel on an off-road course.
• The RAM Ride and Drive brought Ram trucks and Jeeps to a real off-road course, and the line said it all. Attendees climbed in, gripped the wheel and put these rigs to work on steep angles, tight turns and uneven terrain. Nothing beats getting behind the wheel, and this was the community's chance to do exactly that.
• As the sun dropped, the community gathered for Friday's Happy Hour, sponsored by Bowen Customs. Cold drinks, good energy and the perfect lead-in to the evening.
• Toyota Game Night kept things lively. Attendees circled up around campfires for a music-fueled twist on bingo and street tacos in hand.
• The Moto Party and Dinner, sponsored by Rider Justice, brought the noise. Live music, hot meals, and a fan-favorite raffle made it a can't-skip night for the moto crowd.

Day 2: Community, Camp and Connection

Saturday leaned all the way into what makes this event feel like home.

• Subaru's pet adoption event, in partnership with Woof & Willow Puppy Rescue, gave attendees a chance to adopt some of the most adorable dogs.
• The Women Who Wander Networking Event Sponsored by VanCraft, drew a lively crowd. Featured female leaders shared trail stories and swapped their wisdom, sparking new connections across the community.
• Camp Subaru LIVE! stayed packed and kicked off Saturday's evening events. Live music, food, cold drinks, and good conversations wrapped up Saturday's final show hours.
• At 5 p.m., Saturday Happy Hour Sponsored by WanderFox Overland kept the momentum rolling. Rig talk, new connections, and a round of drinks set the stage for the night ahead.
• The Oasis Bar and Food Court buzzed with anticipation as attendees walked away with gift cards, gear and plenty more from the Overland Expo Foundation Raffle. Ticket sales and donations raised more than $13,000 for the Foundation, the second highest total in Overland Expo Mountain West history!

Day 3: Education, Exhibitors, and Rigs

Sunday brought the trail-ready knowledge home.

• Education sessions ran nonstop, covering everything from recovery skills to route planning. The kind of hands-on know-how you can put to use the second you pull into your driveway
• Dogs and Donuts brought the community together one more time with pet first-aid tips, overlanding best practices and tail-wagging treats hosted by Far Fetched Adventures.
• The exhibitor midway buzzed with last-day deals, show-only specials and gear upgrades worth planning around. Attendees cashed in on pricing you won't find anywhere else.
• From first-timers to seasoned rigs, this weekend in Loveland, CO, proved the same thing it always does: the community is what makes the journey unforgettable.
