Excellent job, and a well-filmed documentary. Chris and Scott are great embassadors. Their attention to history, the environment, and local customs is refreshing. The had a chemistry that made watching interesting. I look forward to more adventures.
Probably but, if you breakdown there is no help for miles. Ford and Ram don't have the proven track record that Toyota does to convince me to drive one all the way to Inuvik. This video is a little dated the road has been extended to Tuktoyutuk.
I just aired up to 35 psi. My mechanic and Tire guys on the net said it gives better winter grip and it does. I have new winter tires and on ice 35 bites in hard. But A/T tires suck on ice with twice the stopping time recorded. I'm from Norther Canada.
"Which 4 x 4" over here in the U.K. recommend avoiding "Unreliable" makes like Land Rover and Jeep and choosing Toyota Landcruisers and Kia 4 x 4s especially as the latter offer around 7 year warranty I believe? A friend of mine had a nearly new Landrover Discovery and it blew 4 head gaskets in 6 months.......He doesn't have it anymore! :-/ Great set of videos I've thoroughly enjoyed them. Thanks for posting!
Tacomas all the way for overlanding. But for offroading and until I have enough money to buy a tacoma I use my old jeep cherokee. it serves me well for the day trips and the weekend camping trips. I'm planning a trip to colorado this summer, though, to see how it does overlanding
And what size are they? I'm running them in a 285/75r16 and they really are a great tyre, very happy with them. I thinking of going to a 315/75r16 - 35" though.
One thing i noticed with these expedition videos is that, they are using toyotas. I thought Chevys, Fords and Rams are good american cars. Why? What happened?
Reliability is king in remote areas. Toyota is in a league of its own in this area. I've owned every brand and currently own a Ford a Chevy and a Toyota so I'm speaking from firsthand experience, and I've also spent years selling auto parts. Sorry Ford guys, but Ford is the least reliable. I'll never sell my early Ford Bronco though. A classic is a classic :)
Because I love wildlife documentaries and they have said that in about every one that I have watched when talking about wolves attacking humans. Then again maybe you know more than wild life specialists. I've been watching documentaries about wild life for 51 years so I think I know a little about what I'm talking about. Next time don't be so rude and flippant about something.
I think american branded cars are not reliable when it comes to expeditions that's why they are using toyotas (though built in the US) it is still a japanese brand.
dodge ford and chevy does pickups that are huge heavy and more like "work" vehicles, good american cars for offroad are jeeps and then there are nonUS cars like Land Rover, Toyota and few more which are also very good for this kind of stuff.. or at least i think thats why maybe i am wrong
Toyotas are the kings of overland expeditions. However, jeeps are better at the off road driving itself. But they're not the best for overlanding because they aren't as reliable and the ones that are (cherokee xj) aren't the best at on road driving for longer trips and also have limited fuel capacity and carry capacity
Ely Deboro I'm an American and I'm pretty confident in saying that American made cars are pretty much shit. Toyota makes cars that last ... you don't even see 10 year old American cars on the road very often but you see a lot of 25+ year old Toyotas still on the road going strong with hundreds of thousands of miles on them.

May be using a ford raptor and ram power wagon be the best choice for this

How did you guys like the BFG all terrains in the snow and those conditions?
And what size are they? I'm running them in a 285/75r16 and they really are a great tyre, very happy with them. I thinking of going to a 315/75r16 - 35" though.
Really? How would you know?
when are you guys going to do more videos? haha
in before the overland
How much does a tacoma like that run for?
swimmer8585 stock around here with around 130000 miles around 15k
damn that's expensive. Looks like I'm getting an old Cherokee first, and then tacoma later. or maybe a 4runner. Toyotas are expensive though
He was saying to be cautious of wolves...no healthy wolf has ever attacked a human being in all of recorded history.

They break down. However, they can haul more, if you would need to do so

Too much video of u guys, not enough of the drive, but very nice rig
Well then they ought to be cautious of the unhealthy ones.
