Storyteller Overland Launches GEAR MODE Van for Equipment-Heavy Travel
Whether hauling dirt bikes, surfboards, or a mobile toolkit, adventure seekers often struggle to balance gear storage with living space. Birmingham-based Storyteller Overland is addressing this with the GEAR MODE, a new Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 AWD platform designed to prioritize modular cargo capacity without sacrificing residential comforts.

The vehicle is centered on the proprietary GearShift interior system, which allows users to toggle between four distinct configurations: a full-size bed, a bench for lounging, a dining or workspace table, and an open-floor mode that exposes the GearWall. L-track tie-down points integrated into the walls and floor ensure that heavy equipment remains secure during transit.
CEO Neil Grimmer noted that the design specifically targets those who require a mobile base that functions as both a gear hauler and a home. Beyond recreational use, the van serves professional needs, featuring Starlink Mini pre-wiring and onboard power systems ranging from 4kWh to 11.9kWh. The lineup arrives at dealers in Q4 in three trim levels—STR, ADV, and MAX—with pricing starting at $149,497.67 for the base model and reaching $187,493.42 for the trail-ready MAX configuration.
