What Overland Vehicle Systems, Llc does

Overland Vehicle Systems, LLC (OVS) is a U.S.-based designer and retailer of overlanding equipment for SUVs, trucks, and vans, founded in 2019 and headquartered in Santa Fe Springs, California. The company builds and sources a broad catalog of vehicle-based outdoor products, including roof top tents (priced up to $3,499), awnings ($143–$1,839), bed and roof racks ($2,394–$3,294), modular storage, air systems, recovery accessories, expedition truck caps (starting at $2,610), and off-road trailers ($5,999.99). Notable technical specifications include proprietary fabric constructions (320G ripstop with 5000 PU coatings) and a tiered XD/HD/LD product architecture with differentiated warranty positioning.

OVS sells primarily direct-to-consumer through its own e-commerce site with free shipping across the Continental United States, layered with an Affirm installment-financing partnership and a dealer/B2B channel for fitment and bulk orders. The company has grown the product surface organically through internal development and via the acquisition of Ruff Rax (modular bed/roof rack systems), and it maintains brand visibility through event presence at SEMA and Rigs and Redbull, supported by an active social media footprint. Pricing spans entry accessories to premium bundles, with the highest-ticket units being off-road trailers and expedition truck caps aimed at serious overland builders. The business is private, with 11–50 employees and no disclosed external funding.
