New to the Idea of Overlanding.

[RoydRage83]

Hi, I'm Jonathan, down near Houston, Texas, I'm looking to purchase my vehicle for overlanding in the next 6 months or so. Currently drive a '10 Ram 2500, unfortunately its only 2wd. I plan to drop a threat about vehicle selection; I know what I have my eye on but wanted to get some feedback and thoughts.

Hi Jonathan,

Welcome to Overland Bound!

Especially if you're new to overlanding, I would suggest starting with what you have and figuring out what you really need. Do you really need a 4x4? Take it out for a trip first and think about what you actually need. There are a lot of members here, and surely some in your area too (check out the map), who would be happy to help you get started with overlanding. You might even find a meetup in the Rally Points section here.

Have fun on your trips.

Safe travels,
Bjoern

Nice I’m know there’s plenty of good spots just have to find them. Main reason is I’m about to inherit a 2019 Honda pilot and that is not a vehicle I want to keep.
