Go far and wide with the AEV-built Chevrolet ZR2 overlanding truck

This baby has everything you need to go off-grid for as long as you want.

I love two-seater, RWD convertibles and own a 2004 Mazdaspeed Miata for pavement fun and a lifted 2001 Miata for pre-running. I race air-cooled Volkswagens in desert races like the Mint 400 and the Baja 1000. I have won the Rebelle Rally, seven-day navigational challenge, twice and I am the only driver to compete in an EV, the Rivian R1T.

The same Multimatic DSSV shocks that are found on the stock ZR2 provide support.

The AEV ZR2 has easy access to an air compressor and fresh water. And there's a USB port. If you need to charge your phone on your wilderness adventure.

The high-lift jack is mounted out of the way but still within reach.

40 liters of extra diesel fuel to increase your range means you can meander far and wide.

No overlanding rig is complete without Maxtrax recovery boards.

There is power inside the bed to run it all. Frankly, this should be available on every pickup truck, not just those meant for overlanding.
