All the Kenworths used by GXV are the K-370 models with 33k gvwr…

I expect Mike and Rene may be ready to return to overlanding South America full time after developing a successful business that was inspired by their South American travel in their Unimog truck. Good luck to them. Sale of the business to Storyteller was a wise move to transition the business to...

Yes, the website for GXV is now part of the StoryTeller website. The Springfield MO (not MS) facility is very busy building the GXV Epics and Mike and Rene are still there. I think the Epic may be the only configuration available and custom trucks may not be done anymore. Not sure how much you...

Not much lower as I recall but if they are selling a standard configuration with a few standard options their design and build costs should be less than the custom builds they have done in the past. Looks like GXV has also reduced models down to a few standard configurations.

Here is a production unit

No one is being forced to buy an expensive rig. There are lower cost alternatives that meet the vast majority of buyers needs. The expensive rigs are a very small percentage of overlanding rigs and are getting more and more expensive so even less will be purchased. EarthCruiser has found this...

Could very well be a production rig, only one I have seen pictures of is the prototype which has lights on the nose but nothing else.

Same here, Truck Claws and coveralls…

Here is the thread on the Unicat Brilliant, 1.2 million is the price. https://forum.expeditionportal.com/threads/unicat-brilliant-smaller-for-class-5-chassis-4x4-dodge-gm-ford-6x6-gwagons-toyota.242296/#post-3146650

Not sure why the testosterone is flying so much. I was clearly not offended by the negative comment about the GXV Epic and made what I thought was a clearly humorous response to the comment as the owner of a GXV Patagonia. As expected when owning one of these rigs you attract a lot of attention...

No kidding, do have a few tree scars…

Not into posting about our rig or travels. Travel US and Canada, have gone north to Arctic Ocean at Tuktoyaktuk NWT and to Deadhorse and all over in Alaska.

Paccar does not build any of these trucks with anything but the day cab in North America. It looks like this Epic version may have some extension of the cab done after delivery from Kenworth but not enough to add a second row of seats. Our 2017 Patagonia has the basic day cab which is pretty...

No worries, different strokes for different folks… 😀

I feel so sad, you hurt my feelings by calling a GXV Patagonia hideous. Been living in one for almost 7 years and now I realize everyone who tells me it is great is wrong and it is hideous. I could cry… ;)

I don’t think it will be a million but you never know these days. As I recall the base price recently for a Patagonia was somewhere in the 700’s.

More like teased than introduced:)

They were also planning a version for the Sprinter cutaway

My goodness, quite a stretch there… 🙄

1500 mi is the delivery from Iowa to FL.
