Storyteller’s GXV Wild Expedition Vehicle Boasts a Balcony Built for Nowhere

Storyteller Overland just put a nearly three-hundred-thousand-dollar price tag on a Ram 3500 that can sleep four, cook a full meal, and open its rear wall into an elevated outdoor platform. The GXV Wild arrives as the smaller, more agile member of the company’s Global Expedition Vehicles line, built to reach remote places while still offering real living space once you stop.
Built on a single cab Ram 3500 Big Horn Level 2 grade, the truck retains its 6.4-liter Hemi V8 and eight-speed transmission. That engine generates 375 horsepower and 429 pound-feet of torque on ordinary gasoline, no fancy stuff required. By removing the rear seats, the truck’s weight and wheelbase are reduced, making it much more agile on tight dirt paths and through dense brush. Standard features include four-wheel drive and a 52-gallon tank to keep you going.

AEV’s three-inch lift raises the suspension, and it comes with 20-inch aluminum wheels shod with 275/80 R20 MPT tires. More ground clearance is usually a good thing, and they’ve got everything set up so the truck can comfortably crawl through the bush while also zipping down the highway. Out front, a 12,000-pound Warn winch gets you out of tricky situations, while Diode Dynamics lighting handles both driving and scene work. The overall length is slightly over 22 feet 10.5 inches, with 11 feet 3 inches from the ground to the roof of the car and 8 feet 7.5 inches between mirrors. The GVWR is 14,000 pounds, the payload after the camper body is only 1,000 pounds, and the towing capacity ranges from 10,000 to 11,000 pounds, depending on who you trust.
The FlipOut rear deck is arguably the most notable feature, as it’s a clever little design in which the back wall folds down to create a solid platform with safety netting, overhead red and white lighting, a 120 volt outlet, and a mosquito screen. There’s also an awning door with a little skylight to conceal the entrance when the deck is completely down, as well as a 10-foot electric awning with LED lighting to offer you a little extra space outside. Powered access steps make it a little easier to get in and out, and there must be some lockable external storage, an exterior shower, and city water and shore power hookups somewhere in there.
There is no need to brave the elements to get to the living area from the truck cab. Simply hop inside, and with two seatbelts, you can only drive with two passengers. When parked, four individuals can sleep in the loft, which has an RV queen bed with a ladder, an upholstered headboard, a vented skylight, bedside storage, USB ports, wireless charging, and a 120-volt outlet. The rear dinette seats four and converts into a second queen size bed, while the galley features a stainless steel Vitrifrigo four cubic foot fridge/freezer, an induction cooktop that folds up out of the way when not in use, and a single appliance that serves as a microwave, oven, and airfryer. There’s a 120-volt pop-up plug and wireless charging nearby, and the wet bath is basic but adequate, with a shower, sink, flushable cassette toilet, exhaust fan, dimmable lighting, a dual-pane window with shades and bug screen, and some storage and a mirror.
A 12kWh Mastervolt system generates power, which is paired with a 4,500-watt inverter. The standard setup contains 400 watts of solar panels, which can be increased to 800 watts via an additional connector. You can connect to shore power using a 120-volt, 30-amp arrangement. To be safe, prewiring for Starlink is included. Our water tanks are generously sized, storing 50 gallons of fresh water and 20 gallons of gray water, as well as a cassette toilet that can handle 4.75 gallons of “grey water.” They’ve also included Simrad’s Mission Control tablet to help you monitor power, water, temperature, and lighting.
When you look at the facts, the GXV Wild comes in at $299,898 with no hidden costs, demonstrating clear pricing from the start. Orders are now open to the public; simply contact one of our dealers to get started. We hope to get the new Wilds on the road in the third quarter of 2026. Our warranties are also very comprehensive: one year or 15,000 miles for the capsule, three years or 36,000 miles for the structure, ten years or 100,000 miles for the Ram powertrain, and five years for the Mastervolt system.
