    I have loved all of the XO shows. Very well done for sure. I would love to have the time and funding to do some of these trips. Thanks for all of the hard work that goes into these. Makes my adventure itch, itch real bad.

    You probably even need 2 full time Paramedics. If one is good, then two is great.

    Good thinking. What if the medic gets hurt? Then you need another medic.

    And a real chill dude to keep the ladies in check? Haha

    In all seriousness, that was an amazing season! I am certain you guys inspired a lot of people, and I wouldn't be surprised if Toyota got some sales as a direct result!

    I'd like to see the Tacoma stay for next season as well. I just think it would be cool to have the same vehicle go from Prudo Bay to the southern tip of Argentina.

    They complimented eachother quite nicely. The bed and increased payload of the Tacoma was mandatory for the tools, camera gear, galley, etc... all heavy stuff. The 4Runners on the other hand are more nimble, 4-wheel coils means a improved ride and the sleeping setup proved quite useful too. I'm a pickup guy so I supposed I would lean towards the Tacoma (I've owned 2), then again my recent LC's have been wagons so the 4Runner is appealing to that nature. :D



    Perhaps :D



    Hopefully next season, things are just starting to get to the planning stages.



    Probably wouldn't be a bad idea.



    Right on, glad to hear you say that. I know it took a bit for you to warm up to but I'm glad that tail end of the season tied it together for you :cool:

    My seven year old son and I love this show. It's got it's quirks, but as a video geek I love the cinematography and as a dad, I appreciate the family friendly nature of the show and the conservative decision-making.

    When I found this series (which was just recently) I was addicted and binge watched every video you guys have posted. Great storytelling, great cinematography, great music, great overall! Look forward to whatever is in the future for you guys.

    I just got home from Overland Expo East today. Several of the guys from XO were there. I actually met Clay and talked with him for a bit. Really nice guy and very approachable. I got to check out their 4runner too. No taco that I saw. Oh well. Just thought I would share. Makes me feel even better that they are cool guys along with making some cool TV.
