BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Storyteller Overland today introduced its complete Model Year 2027 lineup of vehicles making it the most expansive adventure vehicle portfolio in the United States, according to a press release. The lineup of nine rigs across MODE vans and GXV trucks includes three brand-new additions: the TOUR MODE, the GXV WILD and the GXV Grand Bohemian.
“The 2027 lineup was built to meet the unmet needs of what adventure seekers dream about and the rig that actually fits how they want to live & explore and creates shared experiences amongst likeminded Storyteller owners,” Storyteller CEO Neil Grimmer said. “That’s a core part of what creates the deep, lasting connections we cherish in the Storyteller owners community and what is accelerating the consumer movement — from RV to adventure vehicle — we are pioneering.”
No platform has done more to define what a Storyteller rig is than the flagship 144″ MODE vans, company officials said. The CLASSIC, DARK and BEAST MODEs all get a full galley redesign, opening up the most spacious, easiest-to-move-through 144″ MODE Storyteller has made. A reworked sink frees up counterspace, the upgraded, taller refrigerator makes it easier to store all your items, and the patented Groove Lounge has been improved making it more comfortable.
The 170″ MODE platform provides more space, while remaining fully capable for any long road trip or your ideal off-road destination, the press release continued. The TOUR MODE joins the 170″ lineup alongside the CREW MODE, sharing the TroupeLounge which converts into a queen bed and opens up extra galley space. The TOUR MODE, Storyteller’s Grande Tourer, brings more space and livability to a smooth dynamic ride on or off road. The exterior of TOUR MODE sports an nVader Roof Rack and Awning, so you can enjoy any scenic view right from the roof or a seamless indoor-outdoor campsite experience under awning. The CREW MODE adds the LunarLoft, a powered hard-sided rooftop tent, for groups that need more room for privacy or sleep.
Starlink Mini now also comes standard on all BEAST, DARK, TOUR and CREW MODEs.
The GXV EPIC is designed for what the company calls “longer stretches.” The largest rig in the lineup, it is built on a converted Kenworth 4×4 chassis with a 6.7L Cummins turbo diesel engine with a 200-gallon diesel tank. With over 300 square feet of living space, onboard washer and dryer, full wet bath and premium kitchen, the GXV EPIC redefines what it means to go further and stay longer.
Built on a RAM 5500 crew cab, it pairs a proprietary No Torsion Subframe, which allows the capsule to move independently from the chassis, with an active hydraulic suspension system from LiquidSprings and Tru-Earth Leveling. A 20,000-pound winch, 360° lighting from KC HiLiTES®, and a custom nVader rack and storage system round out the build. Inside, the streamlined, intuitive design allows you to comfortably and confidently pursue life’s grand adventures.
The newest addition, the GXV WILD, is built on a RAM 3500 single cab with a 6.4L HEMI V8, making it the most accessible entry point into the category for those new to expedition vehicles. Its shorter wheelbase and purpose-built configuration make it incredibly nimble and able to maneuver easily through the toughest terrain. With its innovative and first-to-market FlipOut Rear Deck, the entire back of the living space opens to provide the ideal indoor-outdoor experience in a way no other vehicle in the category does.
“We’re expanding our lineup to stay true to our founding philosophy, Inspiring and equipping our growing community of road-trippers, off-roaders, van-lifers, and overlanders with the proper gear resources and mindset to live free, explore endlessly and tell better stories,” said Grimmer. “Every new rig we introduce opens the door for a different kind of explorer, a different style of travel, and a different story waiting to be told. That’s what this lineup represents – not just more choice but more opportunity for people to experience the world in a way that’s meaningful to them.”
The Grand Bohemian brings Camel Trophy expedition heritage into a smaller footprint adventure vehicle. Company leaders consider it a daily driver that transforms into an adventure-ready Pan American trail runner. This creates a micro-camper category for the adventure van industry.
