What this means for Storyteller Overland

So, what does this mean for Storyteller Overland and those in the market for off road, off grid, long-range expedition vehicles?

One of the biggest things is that Storyteller Overland will introduce the world’s first higher volume production models of the GXV style Super C RV and Adventure Trucks.

While custom Global X and GXV rigs will continue to be built in Springfield, Missouri, in order to meet increasing demands, Adventure Truck units will be built by the Storyteller team in their newly-expanded facilities in Birmingham.

“This merger is an exciting moment for the entire overlanding community. We are grateful for our partnership with the Van Pelts and the stellar team they have built at GXV and want to be excellent stewards of their world renown brand. Obviously we are huge fans of the products and reputation they have built, and we are energized by the thought of what we will build together moving forward.”
