2016 Toyota LandCruiser
Samson is like the big fluffy pillow you want to lay on after a long day. However, don’t let his plush demeanor fool you, he will get you up steep hills, rock crawl like a boss, and pull trailers like they’re not even there. Dependable, yet refined, there’s a reason why the rest of the world depends on Land Cruisers…(Also the official napping vehicle for those tired camera guys.)
2018 Toyota Tundra CrewMax
If you’ve seen the ‘Matrix’ then you may remember ‘Trinity’. One of our favorite characters of all time, Trinity is a no-nonsense, get the job done kind of woman. She adapts, is in control, and runs toward a challenge. The Tundra for us was explicitly built for maximum efficiency for filming, which means a lot of battery power and organization of camera equipment. She is comfortable and is willing to meet any challenge head-on despite her size.
2016 Toyota Tacoma
When it comes to a vehicle that’s going to reliably get you into the backcountry, and back out again, it’s always been hard to beat the Toyota Tacoma. That’s why at Expedition Overland, we’re on our third Tacoma—we’ve put every generation through their paces in our adventures from Prudhoe Bay to the Darien Gap and a whole bunch of America in-between. The all-new 2016 Tacoma shares some of the familiar bits we loved about the our previous Tacomas, with a slew of improvements, new rugged styling, and a fuel-efficient 3.5-liter Atkinson Cycle engine.
