THE ULTIMATE OVERLANDVEHICLE Builds

2023 GMC Canyon AT4X
The GMC Canyon AT4X is a phenomenal off-road platform in stock form, so we wanted to focus on taking that great foundation to the next level in terms of capability, ease of use, and overall functionality as a dual-purpose, overland vehicle. Every modification was carefully thought out by the Overland Expo team and our build partner, Peak Suspension, so as not to detract from the premium ride quality, comfort, and drivability that GMC trucks are known for.
2022 LX 600
Based upon the all-new 2022 LX600, the Ultimate Overland Vehicle 2023 build debuts first-ever components for the LX600, including those from CBI Offroad, Goose Gear, MagnaFlow, Prinsu, Radflo, and Total Chaos, which were developed in partnership with Overland Expo for this build. The Ultimate Overland Vehicle vision was brought to life over hundreds of hours by the Official Build Partner, MULE Expedition Outfitters.


2022 gmc SIERRA 1500 AT4X
Starting with the venerable 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 AT4X, we’ve outfitted it with the best overlanding gear on the market today. Stay tuned here as Overland Expo’s staff of seasoned overlanders take the rig on their own adventures throughout the year capturing stories and demonstrating just how good the AT4X and our ultimate gear is on the trail.
TOYOTA 4RUNNER
TRD OFF-ROAD
Thanks to the rise of overlanding, 4×4 trucks and SUVs are more popular than ever before. The handful of factory overland-ready rigs on the market are supported by hundreds of aftermarket parts makers that can transform a capable stock rig into a trail-conquering overland machine.
