Overlanders across South Carolina already know Overland South as the weekend where the trails, the tents, and the trucks all come together. This October, Hendrick INEOS Charleston joins that lineup as the presenting sponsor, and we're bringing two vehicles built for exactly this kind of weekend.
Hendrick INEOS Charleston is the presenting sponsor of Overland South Fall 2026, running October 8 through 11 at Black Pearl Farms in Branchville, SC. The dealership will display the Grenadier Station Wagon and Quartermaster, with test drives available on the event trails.
As South Carolina's first INEOS Grenadier dealership, Hendrick INEOS Charleston has spent the past year introducing Charleston, Summerville, and Mount Pleasant drivers to a rig built for actual off-road use, not just the school pickup line. Here's what to expect at the event, what the Grenadier and Quartermaster bring to the trail, and how to reserve a spot before passes run out.
Key Points: Hendrick INEOS Charleston at Overland South Fall 2026
- We're the presenting sponsor of a 300-vehicle event. Overland South caps attendance at 300 rigs, and this fall marks the first time Hendrick INEOS Charleston's name leads the sponsor list.
- Both Grenadier body styles will be on site. The Grenadier Station Wagon and Quartermaster sit trailside for walk-around inspections all four days, October 8 through 11.
- Test drives happen on real trail terrain. Attendees can get behind the wheel of the Grenadier or Quartermaster on the same ground the rest of the event runs on, not a parking lot loop.
What Is Overland South Fall 2026?
Overland South is a biannual overlanding and camping gathering held at Black Pearl Farms in Branchville, SC, roughly an hour from Charleston. The fall event runs October 8 through 11, 2026, and organizers cap attendance at 300 vehicles to keep the trails and campsites from feeling crowded.
The venue sits along the Edisto River with a lake and trail network on site, so the schedule mixes off-road driving workshops with kayak tours, e-bike rides, a raffle, and a flight demonstration from the Center for Birds of Prey. Overland South welcomes rooftop tent rigs, converted vans, RV setups, and classic tents alike, which makes it one of the more approachable overlanding events in the Southeast for someone still deciding what kind of overland vehicle actually fits their life.
Hendrick INEOS Charleston Brings the Grenadier and Quartermaster
The INEOS Grenadier is a body-on-frame off-road SUV built around solid front and rear axles and a ladder chassis, styled after the utilitarian 4x4s of decades past but engineered for modern off-road use. The Quartermaster is the pickup version of the same platform. It trades the Grenadier's rear cargo area for an open bed while keeping the same axles, chassis, and off-road hardware underneath.
Hendrick INEOS Charleston will have one of each on site for the full event. Attendees can walk around both vehicles, look at the underbody and recovery points up close, and ask ground clearance, water fording, and cargo configuration questions directly to the team that sells and services these vehicles every day. That kind of hands-on access is hard to get inside a showroom, and it's the reason we wanted a presence on the trail instead of sponsoring the event from a distance.
Test Drives on the Overland South Trails
Beyond the static display, Hendrick INEOS Charleston vehicles will be available for test drives on the event's own trail network throughout the weekend. Driving a Grenadier or Quartermaster over rutted, uneven ground answers questions a parking lot loop never can, like how the suspension handles articulation over obstacles or how the cabin feels at a crawl on an incline.
Attendees interested in a trail test drive should look for the Hendrick INEOS Charleston display near the main activity area and ask an on-site team member. Availability follows the event schedule, so arriving earlier in the weekend gives the best shot at a slot.
Reserve Your Spot at Overland South Fall 2026
Overland South Fall 2026 runs October 8 through 11 at Black Pearl Farms in Branchville, SC, with three-day camping passes, a Saturday-only day pass, and a Thursday early-arrival option available now through the Overland South website. Attendance is capped at 300 vehicles, so passes for a family-friendly weekend like this one tend to move.
