Only 8 months from their return from the Nordic series the XOVERLAND trucks are stuck in port in South Africa. The team must work through the critical delays of the expedition. In addition, the entire Croft family is on the full, two-month expedition. The seasoned 9 member team is the biggest and best yet, and that's exactly what's needed to get through this incredible 10 part journey.
The Crofts (Clay, Rachelle, Cyrus -17, Ryder -15, and Eli -13) join Dr. Jon, Richard Giordano, Ashley Giordano (Desk to Glory), and Peter Jr. VanStralen (Epic Family Road Trip) on the ground. Local South African Christoff Eilard (Get Out Go), takes the XO team in and shows them the ropes.
The three vehicles, Orion the 22' Toyota Tundra, Simba the 23' Toyota Sequoia, and Raven the 20' Toyota Tacoma are on the ground, stuck in port jail.
Hopefully the trucks are released and the adventure can begin!
