Storyteller Overland, a trailblazer in the adventure vehicle manufacturing realm, made waves at the Elkhart RV Open House in Elkhart, Indiana, by unveiling its revolutionary Class C adventure truck – aptly named The HILT. This groundbreaking vehicle is the flagship of Storyteller’s innovative GXV line of turnkey expedition rigs, a result of a close collaboration with its subsidiary, Global Expedition Vehicles, LLC.
Crafted on the Ram 5500 chassis, The HILT is engineered to venture further into the wild, offering unmatched confidence and creature comforts. This turnkey expedition rig sets a new standard by being produced at higher volumes, bringing the adventure and expedition lifestyle within reach of a broader audience.
The HILT boasts a rugged exterior with purposeful off-roading upgrades, including a proprietary Zero Torsion Subframe system for independent movement of the capsule from the chassis, the LiquidSpring suspension system, a 20,000-pound electric winch, an Extreme 360° exterior lighting package from KC HiLiTES®, and a custom nVader rack and storage system from Flarespace.
While the exterior appeals to the intrepid trailblazers, the interior provides a serene retreat that offers a spa-like experience no matter how extreme the surroundings. With carefully designed aesthetics and atmospheric elements, the interior features a full-height wet bath, a cab-over queen bed plus a rear dinette that converts into a second queen bed, and a well-equipped kitchen complete with modern appliances.
For the adventurous souls seeking off-grid experiences, The HILT is the perfect vehicle, featuring a 120-gallon freshwater tank, a 52-gallon fuel tank, a 16.8 kWh M-Power System, two 3000W inverters, and 1325 watts of solar panels for sustainable power.
The HILT project represents a significant leap forward in adventure vehicle manufacturing, embodying the collaborative effort between Storyteller Overland and Global Expedition Vehicles. It’s a vehicle that embraces adventure and redefines the possibilities for a broader audience, bringing the dream of adventure closer to reality.
