Storyteller’s roots run as deep as the roots of the overlanding movement. GXV Co-Founders Mike and Rene Van Pelt are world travelers who have been off-grid overlanding for decades overseas.  

The Van Pelts founded GXV in the early 2000s, bringing to market the machinery and know-how that began the overlanding movement throughout the US. Over 20 years later, combined with Storyteller’s manufacturing and quality innovations, Storyteller GXV proudly presents the GXV HILT and GXV EPIC – the ultimate expedition vehicles for off-grid overlanding.
