TRAX OFF-GRID™ / THE NEXT CHAPTER

COMING SOON

A NEW GENERATION OF EXPEDITION VEHICLES

BUILT FOR
THE FAR SIDE
OF NOWHERE.

Years in the making. We set out to create a luxury expedition vehicle that could take you farther, let you stay longer, and feel like home when the road ends. We are custom-building and deliberately over-engineering the systems and interfaces that keep an overlander moving, with the truck, habitat, and off-grid systems developed as one connected whole. We get going where others stop. The full reveal is still ahead.

VETERAN OWNED & LEDBUILT IN KENTUCKY20+ YEARS OF BUILDING EXPERIENCE

EVERY SYSTEM.
ONE PURPOSE.

More time out there.
A better life on board.

We’re developing our next expedition vehicles around a single idea: the truck, the living space, and every system within should work together from the start.

Here’s a little of what’s ahead.

01

Capability from the ground up.

Commercial-duty foundations. A habitat engineered with the chassis. Structure, weight distribution, and storage considered together—before the first mile.

CHASSIS / HABITAT / STORAGE
02

Independence, by design.

Power generation, energy storage, water, and climate control are being developed as connected systems. The goal is longer stays away from hookups, with clear controls and less to manage.

ENERGY / WATER / CLIMATE
03

Room for real life.

Space to cook, rest, work, and carry what matters. Four-season living is part of the design from the beginning, with communications and monitoring integrated into daily life on board.

A CATEGORY BUILT AROUND FREEDOM

MORE PEOPLE ARE CHOOSING LIFE BEYOND THE PAVEMENT.

The pandemic-era spike has cooled, but the underlying appetite for vehicle-based travel remains substantial.

Camping participation is above pre-pandemic levels, RV shipments returned to modest annual growth in 2025, and major overlanding events continue to attract thousands of new enthusiasts. That does not mean every part of the market grows every year. It does show a large, durable audience looking for better ways to travel, work, and live beyond established infrastructure.

52M+

North American camping households

More than 52 million households camped in 2025, exceeding pre-pandemic participation, according to KOA’s 2026 research.

CUSTOM BUILT / PURPOSE DRIVEN

WE GET GOING WHERE OTHERS STOP.

Real capability is not one oversized component. It is the result of hundreds of decisions working together.

TRAX is developing the vehicle around the mission, not decorating a finished platform after the fact. We use over-engineering as a design discipline: create margin where it matters, reduce unnecessary complexity, protect critical systems, and make the vehicle easier to understand and service. Final production specifications and test results will be published when they are ready.

01

Platform + habitat

Plan the truck, mounting strategy, habitat structure, and movement between them as one architecture rather than unrelated parts.

02

Weight + storage

Consider payload, weight distribution, center of gravity, recovery equipment, and everyday storage before the vehicle is packed for a real trip.

03

Energy + climate

Balance generation, charging, storage, heating, cooling, and daily electrical loads so comfort does not depend on a best-case estimate.

04

Water + weather

Treat fresh water, waste, plumbing protection, insulation, ventilation, and changing conditions as parts of the same four-season problem.

05

Controls + communications

Bring monitoring, connectivity, and essential controls into a clear operating experience that helps the traveler understand the vehicle.

06

Service + recovery

Design for inspection, maintenance, component access, and practical recovery planning, because remote travel rewards preparation.

A NEW CHAPTER.
SAME HANDS.

Veteran owned. Kentucky built.

TRAX Off-Grid™ is a veteran-owned expedition vehicle builder based in La Grange, Kentucky. TRAX began with a truck built for the founder’s own family—not a concept assembled for a trade-show floor. Years of hands-on expedition-vehicle building followed, teaching the team where complexity creates friction and where extra engineering margin matters.

That experience now informs a new luxury overlander developed around the complete journey: the road, the campsite, the changing weather, the workday, the night, and the route home. The full reveal is still ahead, and the first run is intentionally limited to ten planned builds. Six spots remain.

BEYOND THE SPEC SHEET

WHAT SERIOUS OVERLANDERS SHOULD ASK.

Luxury matters. So do the answers you cannot see in a beauty shot.

A true expedition vehicle should be evaluated as a complete travel system. Before choosing a custom overlander, ask how the builder connects intended use, vehicle architecture, resource capacity, serviceability, and life on board. A long equipment list is not a substitute for a coherent design.

  1. 01

    What journey is the vehicle designed for?

    Start with route type, distance, climate, number of travelers, trip duration, driving conditions, and how often the vehicle will be used. The right build begins with a clear mission.

  2. 02

    How are payload and weight documented?

    Ask about curb weight, available payload, axle loading, center of gravity, fluids, passengers, options, and realistic travel cargo. Compare vehicles in the condition you will actually drive them.

  3. 03

    What is the complete energy plan?

    Battery capacity is only one part of the answer. Review actual loads, charging sources, recharge time, solar assumptions, generator strategy if any, and performance in heat and cold.

  4. 04

    What limits time off-grid?

    Water, power, fuel, food, waste, weather, and connectivity can each become the first constraint. Look for balanced capacities and tested operating assumptions instead of one headline number.

  5. 05

    Can critical systems be inspected and serviced?

    Remote travel makes access important. Ask how the builder approaches maintenance points, component availability, diagnostics, documentation, and recovery when something does not go as planned.

  6. 06

    Does the habitat work every day?

    Walk through cooking, sleeping, bathing, working, storage, pets, wet gear, temperature changes, and travel days. The best overlander must be capable on the road and genuinely livable when parked.

Frequently asked questions.

What is overlanding?

Overlanding is self-reliant, vehicle-based travel focused on exploring and experiencing the journey. It combines driving with camping and carrying the supplies you need along the way. A trip can follow backroads close to home or cover long distances through remote areas.

What is an expedition vehicle?

An expedition vehicle is equipped for travel and living away from established facilities. Depending on the design, it may include sleeping space, a kitchen, water storage, electrical power, heating, and a bathroom. Expedition trucks combine these living systems with a truck platform selected for the intended travel.

What is a custom overlander?

A custom overlander is planned around the traveler, intended routes, climate, trip duration, and time away from established facilities. The chassis, habitat, payload, storage, energy, water, climate, communications, service access, and interior should be considered as one system rather than assembled as unrelated upgrades.

What is the difference between an overlanding vehicle and an RV?

The categories can overlap. An overlanding vehicle emphasizes self-sufficient travel and suitability for its intended routes, while an RV provides living accommodations for recreational use. Some expedition vehicles are also RVs. Compare actual construction, dimensions, equipment, and driving capability rather than assuming either label guarantees a particular level of performance.

What makes a luxury expedition vehicle?

Luxury is more than premium finishes. In an expedition vehicle, it can also mean quiet and comfortable living, thoughtful storage, intuitive controls, useful work and rest spaces, climate management, and systems that reduce daily friction. Materials and amenities should still be appropriate for the vehicle’s intended routes, payload, and service needs.

What makes the TRAX approach different?

TRAX is developing the truck, habitat, storage, energy, water, climate, communications, controls, and living space as one connected vehicle. The goal is to resolve tradeoffs early and create a coherent luxury overlander rather than treat major systems as isolated add-ons. Final specifications and test results have not yet been announced.

What does over-engineered mean for an expedition vehicle?

For TRAX, over-engineering is a design discipline, not a promise that a vehicle is indestructible. It means creating appropriate margin, protecting critical systems, reducing avoidable complexity, planning access for inspection and service, and evaluating how one design decision affects the rest of the vehicle.

Where are TRAX expedition vehicles built?

TRAX Off-Grid is a veteran-owned expedition vehicle builder based in La Grange, Kentucky, and the next TRAX vehicles are being built in Kentucky.

Are TRAX vehicles custom built?

The vehicle is being custom-developed around TRAX’s integrated expedition platform and off-grid living approach. The company has not yet announced the final production specification, configuration menu, or the extent of buyer-selectable customization. Join the waitlist for verified build details as they are released.

How many first-run TRAX builds are planned?

Ten builds are planned for the first run, and six spots currently remain. Availability can change. Joining the waitlist starts the conversation and gives you access to reveal and availability updates; submitting the form is not itself a purchase agreement or deposit.

How long can you stay off-grid in a vehicle?

Your stay depends on water, energy use, charging opportunities, food, fuel, waste capacity, weather, and the number of people traveling. The practical limit is whichever essential resource runs short first. Estimate your daily use and plan a reserve instead of relying on a best-case runtime claim.

How do off-grid vehicles get electricity?

They combine batteries with one or more charging sources. Depending on the build, those sources can include solar panels, a properly designed engine-charging system, an external electrical hookup, or a generator. Batteries store energy for later use; they do not produce an unlimited supply of electricity.

Can you run air conditioning without a generator?

Yes, with an electrical system designed to support it. Runtime depends on usable battery capacity, the air conditioner’s consumption, outdoor conditions, insulation, and other equipment running at the same time. Ask for tested operating conditions and charging assumptions, not just a claim that the vehicle has battery-powered air conditioning.

Can you live off-grid in winter?

Yes, with equipment appropriate for the conditions. Evaluate insulation, heating, ventilation, plumbing protection, and the temperature limits of batteries and other components. A warm cabin does not guarantee that every water line or drain is protected. Follow the specific vehicle’s cold-weather operating and winterization instructions.

Is TRAX designing for four-season travel?

Four-season living is part of the design from the beginning, including climate, insulation, ventilation, and plumbing protection considerations. The vehicle remains in development, so final temperature ratings, capacities, and validated operating limits have not been announced.

Can you work remotely while living off-grid?

Yes, provided your setup supports your work. Plan for a dependable internet connection, adequate electrical power, a usable workspace, and backup locations when connectivity fails. Test your actual tasks, including video calls and large uploads, before relying on a remote campsite for an important workday.

How much does a custom overlanding vehicle cost?

The price depends on the base vehicle, camper structure, equipment, interior, labor, and customization. A shell-only quote is not comparable to the price of a fully equipped vehicle. Request an itemized proposal and confirm whether it includes the chassis, installation, options, taxes, delivery, and any required finishing work.

How long does it take to build a custom overlander?

There is no standard timeline for every builder or project. Ask separately about the wait for a production slot and the time needed to complete the work. Request a project-specific schedule covering design approval, construction, testing, and delivery, and clarify how changes or delayed components will be handled.

What should I compare before choosing an expedition vehicle builder?

Compare the builder’s experience, intended-use process, engineering and weight documentation, construction method, systems integration, testing, warranty, service plan, parts access, communication, and total delivered price. Ask for specifics and written assumptions. A compelling rendering or long equipment list does not answer how the complete vehicle will perform or be supported.
