Overland Trucks, South America | Expedition Vehicles

The majority of our vehicles are Scania 93 series 4x2 trucks of between 220 and 280 horsepower. They are custom built trucks made to handle and deal with the terrain and climates we encounter along the way on our trips. In South America our vehicles regularly visit either dedicated Scania dealership workshops or locally owned well established heavy vehicle workshops that we have dealt with for many years for extensive servicing that is overseen by our drivers.

In South America our trucks have glass windows which slide open due to the cooler temperatures we sometimes experience in the Andes and Patagonia. Trucks seat between 20 and 24 travellers.
