Built for Adventure, Off-Road and Off-Planet
Introduced at the 1998 North American International Auto Show, the Gear Box was described by designer Stewart Reed as a “space vehicle for Earth exploration.” Meant only as a design study, the Gear Box combined the capabilities of a sport utility vehicle with the cargo capacity of a van, making it a precursor to the overland van conversions popular today. It came equipped with features for camping and off-road travel, including four-wheel drive, a pop-up solar panel to power auxiliary equipment, “saddlebag” storage containers, and a built-in interior storage rack system.
