3 x Overland Trucks for Sale in South America

Hi there,

due to the unfortunate closure of a major Overland company just over a year ago, we now have our 3 trucks for sale.
We were subcontractors to the company so all paperwork is in our name.

They can be sold together or separately.

They are ideal to get a bunch of friends together to come and see the 2014 Football World Cup in Brazil!

All trucks are fully equipped with all camping and cooking equipment, tents, gas cookers and bottles, kitchen gear etc. Plenty of storage area in the box back area as well as lockers accessed from the exterior.
All trucks have sleeping area for driver be it a bunk bed or double bed inside the back of the truck.
All have spare tyre/s.
All you need to do is bring your clothes and start driving!

All 3 have travelled around all of South America and are therefore proven to be suitable to all SA terrain.

All are left hand drive.

You will need an HGV license or equivalent to be allowed to drive them here in South America.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
