In this episode, I'm diving into one of the most common debates in overlanding: Should you build out an older vehicle or invest in a newer rig? Having experienced both ends of the spectrum myself, I'll break down the real-world pros and cons of choosing an older, proven vehicle versus a newer, tech-packed option.
We'll cover everything from reliability, cost, and maintenance, to comfort, safety, and capability. By the end of this video, you'll have a clearer picture of which choice might suit your adventure style best.
Have you owned both older and newer rigs? I'd love to hear your experiences in the comments below!
