In this video I walk your around the Overland Expo West in Flagstaff Arizona to take a look at just some of the standout overland built vehicles. We will take a look at some of the expedition style rigs, full sized overland trucks, mid sized trucks, conversion vans, Toyotas, Land Rover Defenders, Jeep Wrangler, Ram Trucks and Jeep Gladiators. Be sure to stay until the end where I will choose my favorite vehicle of the event.

“They are a little out of financial reach for most of us”. Yeeaahh, just a little LOL.

Good video, keep the videos coming ✌

@rd4660 5 лет назад

The Rivian isn’t a “truck”. It’s a trucky looking thing for city slickers.

@TrailRecon 5 лет назад

Perhaps now it is more car than truck, but the evolution is coming.

@wardperozuk2782 5 лет назад

While electric will eventually be popular, still not my cup of tea for now. Gladiator is nice, maybe one day. Thanks for the video.

An extra 100 miles on a charge versus a tank of gas. It takes five minutes to fill your tank, get munchies and be back on the trail. How long does it take to recharge the battery? And can you charge that battery in Elk City Idaho?

@toddhoffmaster6057 5 лет назад

Exactly, that is why there should be a 200 watt solar panel on the roof top or turn the tonneau cover into a solar panel to help charge up the batteries while driving.

@bosse641 5 лет назад

So much interesting stuff. ....the only one I'm not interest in is the E truck. Would love to own that Toyota Troopy. ...and that RAM flatbed from AEV is so cool.

@Crashryding 5 лет назад

John Grytbakk the Troopies and 78/79 series single and double cab Landcruisers are absolute weapons off road. Towing 4.5t as well. That Ram 3500 flat deck is something that would sell massively to outback Australian farmers and the mining crews. Hell, I want one!!

@ArizonaAdv 5 лет назад

No thanks on the electric.Not going to be any time soon those little towns in the middle of no where get chargers they have one gas pump and a post office. in my opinion 400 miles is good but how far to the charger . Thanks for the video I am planning to ride there next year I didn't realize it was that big . "RIDE ON

@hbdoffroad2037 5 лет назад

I know it’s not optimal but I’m sure solar would be the logical choice. But I’m sure that would take forever to get charged up. Or carry a generator which negates the choice of using gas. But there are propane generators out there 🤷‍♂️

@Mike.A.Hernandez 5 лет назад

Rad vid!! It was cool to see my Jeep make the cut! Can’t wait to see your Gladiator when you get it!!

@amanster724 5 лет назад

Good video. The reason you don't see to much from Nissan is because of Carlos Goshen who was head of Nissan since the late 90's. He now resides in Japanese prison for income fraud. You will see a huge come back from Nissan over the next few years here in the states because the doors are finally wide open again and Nissan is spending money again.

@kuuphone3193 5 лет назад

A 2 door extended cab Jeep is probably the only thing that could really pull me away from the full sized 4 door Jeep. The rig at the end is pretty close, but I'd need there to be somewhat of a back seat for my dogs, storage, passengers if I need, and of course storage under/inside of them. My biggest issue currently is that any build like this costs MORE because it has to be custom, and I haven't ever seen the extended cabs cost more than the 4 door trucks. Oh, definitely assuming a full side bed length too. A Jeep like this has so much potential for me, and will maintain the looks and feeling I love so much.

@2AOverland 5 лет назад

If only there was a way to charge that truck off solar. It could have an endless range until you hit clouds.

@co4x4 5 лет назад

@antonw-uw4ov 5 лет назад

Hellcat engine in a jeep wrangler just seems pointless since lifted jeeps gets kind of unsafe to drive over 70 mph. And you reduce the range...

@attnielthomas7856 5 лет назад

It is scrailedge to speak bad about a Jeep on a Jeep channel. Jeeps for life even if poor handling and fuel economy.

@antonw-uw4ov 5 лет назад

So if someone builds a 2wd jeep with 30" rims you can't say that's pointless either since it's a jeep? I think you might never have driven a lifted jeep?

@problu9586 5 лет назад

Nearby Jeep dealership recently received and sold a couple Gladiators, which I got to inspect up close and personal, plus sit in, before some lucky buyers took them home. Very tempting to have taken one home, myself. They're expecting another Rubicon Gladiator come June. Hope I can resist the temptation and maintain my fiscal sanity. Thoroughly enjoyed your vid. Thanks.

@w0nt0nj0n 5 лет назад

Marco can definitely buy a troopy that's very close to brand new condition from Land Cruisers Direct in Missouri although it would be over 25 years old for age of import. LCD is pretty good at finding low mileage LCs for import. 3 locking diffs!

@toddhoffmaster6057 5 лет назад

Well, it's not like they have changed in any way except for the engine in the Troopy. haha

@BenLeBlanc1 5 лет назад

It seems like the gladiator needs a lot of investment to get to the same level as a stock JL. I hope they make a reg cab version soon

@theracingjeep 5 лет назад

Really.. That was your choice... Did you not even see the heritage driven defenders? Complete frame up restos? They built a 130 defender pickup that is a full on hunting truck/trophy truck.. Didn't even make it in your video. Crazy.

@mykalbee 5 лет назад

Awesome coverage Brad. Wow some very nice builds. Yeah lack of 4runners was depressing but Van's sure made a statement this year. Its cool to see all the builds but the key is just getting out there. As they say in racing, run what ya brung.

I saw your comments on the new Jeep Gladiator... We are about to get the Gladiator here in Australia & i think it is going to fail badly. I don't know how anyone is going to be able to set one up for Touring/Overlanding when it can barely carry 4 People and their luggage for a weekend away. Only has a 620kg or 1364lb #Payload. Which means this............................. # Payload is the maximum combined value of occupants, cargo, added options, added structures and tow ball download (when towing). The GVM must not be exceeded. The Gross Combined Mass (the combined weight of the fully loaded vehicle including tow ball download (when towing) and trailer must also not be exceeded. Please see Buyers Guide for vehicle specifications............... You fit a Front Bar, Winch, Sliders and Rear Bar and 4 pewople and it's at it's weight capacity!!!!! So bad!

@ap8409 5 лет назад

Raptor - $70,000, doesn't seem like a good option to me. Gladiator - too expensive, a unless Sport $46K, you want a Rubicon, $60K. The Dynatrac Galdiator looks like it is nearing the $100K range ($60K Gladiator, $18K Hellcrate Engine, plus $$$$ fabrication).

@zacmedeiros3640 5 лет назад

But do you REALLY need a v8 inside a jeep? Slightly overkill if you ask me it's an off roading vehicle not a sports car. But the rivian truck is insane with its battery range. Scotty Kilmer recently did a video on them talking about the company. Apparently both Amazon and Ford dumped A LOT of money into that company. Scotty seems to think that Ford will just use the battery blueprint to create their own electric truck/SUV in the years to come

@fpartidafpartida 3 года назад

I ordered a Rivian R1S and should get delivery sometime around Aug of 2021. I plan to visit my brother down in Baja with it as soon as I get it. (I live in MN). If it works out and you’re interested, perhaps I could swing it your way and you can do a video with it.

I know why a lot of people think electric vehicles are IT for the future but I own One car and One motorcycle. My kids and sibs all live farther than 500 miles away. I NEVER want to spend three or four hours in a strange town waiting for my traveler to recharge. At 73 I can’t always take my bike if I want to travel 1300 miles to my son’s house in Colorado so I take my pickup. It gets about 19 MPG and is very comfy for interstate travel. Electric? No thanks The Bison is a really killer pickup built on a great platform but it gives 7 MPG away to the standard Colorado. Unless it’s strictly a toy who will do that beyond competition off roaders?

I myself really like the SHERP vehicles. Now, having said that, it is difficult having to wrap my mind around a top speed of 30 miles an hour. I get it... I'm not going to be climbing hills at 60 m.p.h., but on a sandy road where a jeep or Toyota can hit 40 -45 m.p.h. i'd get so far left behind... then i would also need another truck and trailer for the highway.

@1234chris 5 лет назад

Definitely a no on electric vehicles. They might be cool as track cars or something, but I want something that I can build and work on myself. Plus the recharging time is a problem like others mentioned. There's just something not right about an electric truck. It's like computer geeks trying to become motor heads but can't quite figure it out.

@alanharris6701 5 лет назад

Here in the UK since they stopped making the Land Rover Defender the prices have gone through the roof hopefully now the new one is out the price of the older models will come back down . They are not making a commercial model or work truck as you say in the USA think that is a mistake company's who have run Land Rovers for years are turning to Toyota Hi Lux or Ford Ranger . Excellent channel keep up the good work

@chuckzechman7390 5 лет назад

Very nice review. The over-landing lifestyle is interesting to me, but probably not something I'll do myself. We saw a number of R-Pod campers during Easter Jeep Safari and they have a model I think I can sell my wife on. Most likely as we get a little closer to retirement with a Gladiator in our driveway. I've been watching the Dynatrac two door Hellcat Gladiator build on Wayalife's RU-vid channel. It looks awesome and I'm looking forward to seeing video of it out on the trail. Speaking of Dynatrac, it was very cool that Jim donated a complete Dynatrac 44 differential for the Friday evening drawing at EJS. Brad, thanks again for what you do. Safe Travels and God Bless!
