Storyteller Overland, maker of Class B and Super C rigs, is celebrating its five-year anniversary with the launch of its limited-edition adventure van, called the “Retro OG MODE.”
The limited-edition vehicle pays homage to the first run of adventure vans made by Storyteller Overland back in 2018, the company said.
When Storyteller began operations in 2018 in Birmingham, Alabama, its adventure vans built on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter platform had a Selenite Grey Metallic body with the classic Storyteller orange sunset pinstriping along the side. Only 17 models in this color scheme were produced. After its first year with this color scheme, the “Classic MODE” became either Arctic White or Pebble Grey with orange sunset pinstriping, and a new “Stealth MODE” model utilized the Selenite Grey Metallic color with matte black Storyteller branding.
In celebration of five years manufacturing adventure vehicles, Storyteller is bringing back this color scheme for the limited-edition “Retro OG MODE” model. Although the exterior is reminiscent of 2018, the interior includes upgrades from the 2024 lineup, including the new M-Power Energy System, now powered by Lithionics.
Storyteller will only produce 17 of the special anniversary vans, an homage to the original 17 in this color scheme.
As the team at Storyteller Overland reflects on the past five years, there is much to be proud of, the company said. Since the original MODE van release, the company has added new trim options, including the Mystic MODE, the Beast MODE and the MODE LT. The launch of the HILT propelled Storyteller into the adventure truck space, and the acquisition of three subsidiaries (GoCamp, Flarespace and Global Expedition Vehicles) has “built a galaxy of services for adventure enthusiasts to take advantage of.”
From seven to more than 170 employees, Storyteller Overland has seen exponential growth in five years. And through the demand of the COVID era to the market correction of 2023, Storyteller has stayed true to its unique, no-haggle See-Through Pricing model.
“We’re going to continue to grow and evolve and improve, and we’re going to continue using every beat of our heart and every resource that we have at our disposal to grow and expand our community and bring as many people along for that journey as we can,” said Storyteller Overland CEO Jeffrey Hunter. “By the time people realize that we’ve put our flag on the moon, we’re going to be heading on to Mars.”
The Retro OG MODE will be available at select dealerships. Reserve the limited edition vehicle here.
