I did a ton of trips in my nas D90 when I had it, although I wouldn’t consider it overlanding. For overlanding I think you need at least 1k Instagram followers and to exclusively stay in a KOA campground.
I had an auxiliary fuel tank and one fuel can. Two fuel cans would have been nice, but only wished I had a second one once. I built a false floor in the back and had plenty of room for a lot of spares and tools located dead center in the truck. I had a roof rack and that’s where i put fuel cans. Sometimes I did a pelican on the roof, but once I got my setup down, I didn’t need to.
Outside of the janky aftermarket DUI HEI distributor (installed by a PO), I never had issues with that truck and would put my wife or mom in it to drive anywhere.
A d90 worked for my wife and me, but it really just depends on what you want to do. Probably not a vehicle I would want to travel the world in, but also wouldn’t let vehicle limitations stop me.
