I think I am getting more thumbs-downs on this video because of my comment, "nobody does it better", referring to the brilliant hospitality of the Americans. Well, I stand my what I said. I can't wait to be back next year 2015.
Nobody does it better than America except for the fact that we don't have the new ranger, I have a 2006 4x4 and I wish so bad we could have that new one.
+4xOverland Nah its just the 2-3% of people who can only HATE we call that part of the species Haters!! Great Videos.
4xOverland to
🤣 must be the case
I'm surprised you don't have your on show on Netflix. With that budget, things could get real interesting.
The couple from England traveling the globe are incredible. That kind of adventure takes a lot of guts. Really amazing!
"....NO. He's not gay he's just British....".
Gotta love that.
I too found the Americans to be very good hosts, polite, patriotic and wonderful people.
Quote, "He's not gay he is British!" LOL Only the spetics would come out with a line like that. LOL
Ataman Atlas Hey There - ive actually had to tell someone that I’m British not gay lol I have good taste and can spell lol
Maybe gay people are thumbs down because clearly that guy thinks being called gay is an insult. The British did quite a nice job of spreading their homophobia throughout the world and have never had to atone for the murders that has caused. Unfortunately when their colonies revolted against the empire and re-embraced their native culture they didn’t get rid of that unfortunate artifact of the occupation.
thats my dad!!!! :) thanks for the awesome video!!
Enjoyed the video, Andrew. And we're always glad to have you in the USA.
Wow some of these comments...Nice vid and its nice to see how you appreciated the landscape...doesnt matter what you drive, its the memories you make and the people you meet.
Your English ! I like your show !!Sir" Lol I'm Australian Jewish with a touch of German ! Building a 1973 23ft gmc motor home on to a e350 4x4 frame cummins tag axle that is independent ! Great show mate!!
you're correct.. US hospitality is excellent. They're great people
The couple 4x4ing around the world ...awesome
Beautiful scenery in the beginning
Great video. Nice to hear you enjoyed the hospitality and beauty of the American West!!
Enjoyed your post. Especially the Overland Expo at Mormon Lake, AZ. My family and I were there and if I had know you needed a good meal, you could have shared some of ours. I really enjoy your shows and your online book. Thanks!
Recently found your channel, subscribed after one episode, and am loving each and every one I've seen so far. Beautiful scenery, informative and humorous. I'm a Brit living in Oregon.
John McFarland Hey There - im a Brit living in Oregon as well lol
Contact me if you like
Happy trails mate
Enjoyed it Keep up the good work
Thank you.
@4xOverland This is to me one of the best video I've seen so far and I'm been honest. Me and my family will be getting an Isuzu Rodeo 1995 to be convert into a overland vehicle and hopefully we will be ready for the next one coming up, greetings from Tampa, Fl!
Superb from the Isle of Man !!
My wife, daughter and I had the same experience every time we have travelled through Flagstaff driving across the U.S. From Georgia to California. If you do not have reservations, it's impossible to find a hotel.
The English couple is amazing. Goals.....love from Harare
You are a joy......maybe some day I will meet you in person....but I have no vehicle....
Your American motel experience has me laughing 😆... Sorry you had to find out the hard way. Spend the extra money for better stays or use airbnb. Blessings from Texas.
Love your video`s. BFF from the West Coast of South Africa.
Johnn Naude Weskus BFF's, dis hoe dit hoor. +1 on excellent videos.
I disagree with the comment on the auto gear box. Thats really an individual preference. Iv been driving 4 and 5 speed manual boxes my entire life. A manual gear box gives you very high levels of control over your car that you just dont get with auto gear boxes. Personally automatic gear boxes drive me nuts! That said, a manual box is not for everyone.
jeremyxman My personal opinion is liking manual in small sports cars mostly and some other vehicles. For a large off road truck the auto trans is better. For climbing a sand dune or hard core climb shifting a large truck can prevent making it. Shifting while going fast over large whoops takes some control that could be needed to. The manual transmissions on large trucks are not performance shifting. I understand liking being in the gear you chose for the terrain you are in as a good thing. For the best of both a manual valve body upgrade to an auto trans is the answer. You choose the gear and shift without using the big clutch and taking the gas off and back on loosing momentum and traction needed in places.
I think he was talking about someone new to off-pavement driving in their first crossover type vehicle. That aside I agree with you wholeheartedly even though my current 4x4 is automatic with the ability to switch to manual and I actually enjoy it very much
Happy trails
If you can take a drive across "Rim Road" or Forest road 300, some truly amazing scenery and not far from the expo.
Loved the last 5 minutes of the video with the "PAF" and the television. :)
The Land Cruiser 200 has the same powerful but thirsty 5.7L V8 here in the states--both a blessing and a curse. Delightful if you don't roam too far from a petrol station--nerve wracking if you do. The LC is one of the few Toyota branded vehicles sold in the US made in Japan. Giant vehicles like the Tundra and Sequoia were designed primarily for the US market. Without the wide American roads driving such vehicles in a dense urban area would be painful. Hope you get a chance to enjoy camping in the US. :)
I think you should make a trip up to Canada
MRC-1 eye ball! I haven't heard that in a while!
What nice man andrew is. Life n soul of the party
hey 4xOverland, you should take a trip to Montana we have major offroading her like the top of the rocky mountains to the pretty cliffs and the rimrocks in billings same in park city in Montana
Glad you had a good time in the states, let me know if you make it back. I can set you up with a jeep or a 4runner something a little nicer and we'll go for a real over-landing trip full geared up!
come back to America and also come to Alaska if you can
This is so antiques road show
Undulation, never herd that word before haha, you learn something everyday!
He should try, Outer Banks NC. He might be able to get some footage for his air channel too.
My Tahoe at 3:40..lol
I know you’ve been to Oregon because I watched the video. If you ever come back this way let me show you the good parts lol places where the forest covers hundreds even thousands of square miles
Happy trails mate
Next time you hit Flagstaff try Little America, not world class but still nice. Next hit up some of us and we can show you some world class over landing in this amazing state.
I'm not homesick.
American in general & Afrikaans South Africans in game reserves have been some of the friendliest people I've met on my travels. Did you find the Toyota Tundra any good? They have one called the Tacoma, which seems more like a Hilux, but the Tundra is a lot bigger. Wonder if its as capable as the Hilux.
Duncan Wallace As a S.A afrikaans guy, I definitely welcome open minded folks you, share a beer anyday. Lekker! But I actually replied to say that I think the Hilux capability might be on top here.
The last time I stayed in a hotel in flagstaff, there were blood stains in the sink.
When is this expo for 2015? I live in Arizona and would like to attend

He is not gay, he is just British.....that killed me
Does contributor mean the same as sponsor like financial contributor?
Its a good question, but no. I do not do paid advertorials. Never have. But I do have backers, and make it plainly known who these are. At the moment its BFGoodrich Tires. But I used their products a decade before we began talking.
Jedthespread's Westie at 10:02 😁👍
Lol man that hotel room, it still had a TV from 1987 in there haha I do
N’t thing Zenith has been in business since then. We definitely had a few hotels like that while we were traveling from Colorado back to California :). What’s worse is you realize that there are people that actually live in those places like it’s an apartment and there are usually some shady shenanigans going on like drug dealing and what not. I’m sure you have similar places in South Africa.
The USA doesn't get many vehicles that we love in Australia and elsewhere. Hilux, 80 series, Çruisers, Patrols, Amoroks, diesel LRovers. Their loss. Mind you RH drive Dodge RAM conversions are a hit here even at a six figure price tag;

7:50 into this video, he wonders why we hold these expos inside. Well I'm from Minnesota and after 3 yrs of living up to the USAF (united states air force) requirements here in AZ, Nobody likes to shop in the depths of the hellish hear here.
What you came here for starts at 3:50
For Your Health.
here in austria car modding is pretty mutch illegal driving off the road is illegal everywhere
when you have a dirt bike you only can use it on the road.. or you risk a very high penalty when austria would be a flat lame sand dessert that would not be as bad but we have so many mountains ans so beautyful landscape and you only can explore it with a bicycle or on the road thas why i drive a supermoto bike =)
มาตราฐานอเมริกายุโรบช่างสูงนัก ขนาดไปรวมพล Overland ก็เหมือนกับขึ้นสวรรค์บนดิน
Ive never seen a Isuzu trooper that's been modified for a overland vehicle
Wild camping is legal in Scotland but illegal in England!
Nope and nope.
England has such better options for campers. It's not fair.
Phoenix is a good place to leave.
"Honda Santa fe"
bigar 😂 your awsome
hundai not honda
Our country will invite you and all your friends, but make plans so you do not have to endure torture in the frontier land hotels.We welcome the world for a good time and a good time.
Let me know if you need help!!!
Our hotels are lousy.
haha typical... '' I can start my big truck while im not in the driveway... ''
thats usa not austrtalia so its bigger ita USA
We like big butts too. 😆
Homesick for South Africa with the ANC in power and how whites are treated by Gov. and blacks? I get missing home the way it was but wanting to go back the way it is now?
I didn't say I was homesick for the ANC. Nor did I say I wanted to go back.
ill watch that over crummy soccer
Justice9111 you mean like all the flopping in pansy soccer? 😂😂
Drone06 i will agree with the world champion thing. that shit makes no sense to me.
Why come all the way to America, rent a Korean SUV, then to Arizona to drive a Japanese truck? Real American's buy American vehicles (those are few and far between); you probably should have driven one of those (though your findings probably wouldn't have been any different honestly). :-) Did you at least get out to see the Grand Canyon, or maybe some of the Indian ruins/cave dwellings in the area?
Went to the Grand Canyon, and it was featured in my TV series. I will be back in 2015 to do a trip in an American truck. Am looking forward to it.
4xOverland
Rent a Jeep and drive the Rubicon trail, or do Moab. Trucks are for hauling stuff. Thanks for the pointer to the other videos, I'll check them out.
rogue109 The Tundra is an american truck. It's designed and built in the USA. it's only sold in North America and maybe a few middle eastern countries. But the fact that the car brand is from Korea or Japan, doesn't mean that the cars are irrelevant for the US marked. If I'm not all wrong both the SantaFe and the Tundra is being sold in fairly high quantities in the US. So why should it then be wrong to drive the cars then? Had he traveled to the US to test the new HiLux, a pickup that is sold in every country in the world except USA and Canada, then I'd understand what you're on about. But he's not. Nor do I expect that you'd be to happy for him saying that the GMC Acadia is absolute CRAP.
Torvikholm I agree with all the comments here. So this year I went and drove a true blue American truck. (A van actually) And I took it across the desert. The video will be posted soon.
Torvikholm
You start out saying the Tundra is an American truck but it's not. The rest of your comment is predicated on that idea but it's a Japanese company, not an American company. And you are also wrong about me minding if he said the GMC Acadia was crap. I wouldn't mind in the least if that was his opinion, that's totally cool with me. I wouldn't know if it were or not though as I've never driven one.
So pretentious.....wasted time with a not needed promo. Yawn.
